Story

Stockholm Marathon was postponed and my sister (who I was supposed to run with) is injured, so very grateful that Sense International had a place for me at London Marathon 2021! This together with 10 in golf handicap are my 50th year goals. A marathon in 5 hours 30 minutes feels almost more achievable...
