As a child, I really struggled with sport and PE was the only subject I ever got a dentention in at school. Last year, I started running as part of my "duties" as a bridesmaid and found I actually quite enjoyed it! I did my first 10k in November 2016 and this year am challenging myself to go even further with my first half marathon (it's only double the distance, no problem, right?!)
