When I started running and what got me started:
I have been off and on running for about 5 years, people that I used to work with in London got me started, they told me that running was more fun than going to the pub at lunchtime, being blonde I belived them, still not sure it is better than the pub though but it is fun!!!!!

Running accomplishments:
The major one will be this August when I make the Ascent!!!!!!

What I like about trail/mountain running:
running with my dog, and always having to think about what you are doing, running on trails you never know what is round the corner.

Favorite running trail and why:
Do not have one I guess it would have to Barr and the Incline as it is still a real challange for me.

Something non running related that no one would guess about me:
I love to talk peoples ears off!!!

Swimming, Mtn biking (only started riding last year). Horseriding, skiing really the list goes on I will try anything once.

Other stuff:
I would like to try the Triple Crown but I a not sure if this is a little over my head we will see closer to the time. I would like to get the ascent under my belt then a marathon towards the end of the year.
