On the 19th of March, Mother’s day (I didn’t realise when I booked it), I will be running the Barcelona marathon. This is my 3rd big event in the space of a year.

Last time I did the Barcelona marathon was 6 years ago and I absolutely loved it. Beautiful city, great weather, electric atmosphere and incredible supporters, what not to love! I said to my husband I would love to do it again one day if I have a chance…. Now here is my chance.

Training for this has been extremely challenging for a number of reasons and the cold miserable weather was one of them. It was really hard to motivate myself to get out there in rain, cold, wind…. Tash always used to say to me “ you know that in 5 minutes you will warm up, or what is the rain going to do to you, you won’t melt”ha ha and with that I put my trainers on and off I go. 

Even though Tash is no longer here she still motivates and encourages me to do my best. I can’t believe It's been almost  2 years since I have lost my beautiful best friend. Life goes on, people move on, memories start to fade but the legacy that Tash left behind is still going strong. I would like to carry on supporting the Natasha Lewis Foundation for as long as I possibly can, to keep Tasha’s legacy going and supporting all the amazing work that Foundation does for young athletes.
