In December 2017 I had the opportunity to share a story I have always been ashamed of. I shared it twice, in Women’s Running magazine and in Runsmart online. It was an honour and also a cathartic exercise. I have put my demons away, I am not afraid of failure anymore, or rather, I am still afraid but I will push through the fear and try anyway. I started by applying to be an #ASICSFrontRunner.
One of my long time dreams has been to progress in running, to be more than just a plodder. I also want to inspire other non sporty people like me to embrace exercise and fall in love with it, like I have. Here is to a 2018 full of dreams come true 💖.
