I have to admit that I’m not a particularly natural athlete. I don’t remember ever coming home with any prizes on school sports’ days. But as the years have gone by, I’ve continued to run, cycle and wind surf. In fact, I won my first prize last year when I competed in a mini-triathalon at my eldest son’s swimming club. I came in third…out of three. But the best thing was taking home my first athletic award.
I don’t find running particularly easy – I’m more of a cyclist and I enjoy coaching football. I’d say I get regular exercise, but I’m not exactly in training at the moment. That’s why this race is going to be so good for me. I’ll get out more and I’ll have training goal. And, I’m raising money that will help para-olympians. They’re inspiring. You can sponsor me here
That’s enough talk for now. I have to go for a run…
