Like a marathon, journeys are made up of many small steps, and each step has a story.

Join me through the blisters, cramps and spasms; through the cold, wind, rain and sun; through the early morning set offs, the later afternoon hobbles. I started with no idea of what I was doing, and the chapters I write will make that painfully clear. Yet no marathon is the same, and there is something new to learn with each one.

I hope you enjoy the journey with me, can learn from my mistakes, and are inspired to set off and kick your own new running goals.
