2016, because my husband David encouraged me to come to his darkrun nights

Blackpool Illuminations night run, as it's fancy dress with fairy lights, running under the illuminations and Blackpool tower lit up. Done it 6 times.
Have you set any short or long term goals?
To run my first fell marathon in October 2024

Just do it. If a 55yr old wheezing asthmatic vegan going through menopause can do it, then anyone can.

Join a running club for all the support we give each other. Burden has the nicest friendliest people I've ever met who all encourage each other
