A Budding Buzzer
18 months ago I couldn'r run to the end of my road. Inspired by a group of runners from my village who ran the London Marathon and a friend who was doing the Couch to 5K programme I started my own running journey. This blog is documents that journey and some of the amazing people I have met along the way.

Apologies in advance for the length of this blog!
In September this year I heard about Ben Smith and the 401 Challenge. From the age of 10 Ben was a victim of bullying at school and this culminated at the age of 18 in him attempting to take his own lif...

15/11 – 32...
