How on Earth did I go from a heavy smoker, couch potato to someone that sets an alarm for stupidly early to run 14 miles!!! #marathontraining #MentalHealthMatters #KeepTalking

#TransformationTuesday for anyone wondering if you can do it, the answer is yes and there’s no better time to start than 01 January 2022. Here’s my progress from Miss couldn’t run a Bath, to 5 times half marathon runner. If you really want it, then work hard and it’s yours xx

It wasn’t fast and it wasn’t pretty but it was 22.7 miles (supposed to be 23 but I hit my front door 0.3 miles early). It tops off a 47 mile week. I reminded myself I couldn’t have even contemplated this a year ago and if it was easy everyone would do it. Have a lovely weekend xx
