RunningI started running at the end of Year 4, and at the end of this year is when I joined my current club. Since then I've done 28 parkruns, run for my club, school, schools district, schools county, and county. I hope to someday make the GB running team and compete on the world stage, however I don't know what distance yet.
I am writing this blog because it is to inform people about what I am doing, and hopefully inspire people to do sports. It's not all about running, running's the sport I chose and you can get fit. I support initiatives like parkrun and ThisGirlCan. |
