I cant run down hill to save my life! I've been road running for about a year and recently ran the Edinburgh marathon (my first) but I love being in amongst nature. Dream would to be to run up and down Ben Nevis, which is prob nothing for all you lot, ever since I saw a man fly past me both up and down before we even got to the top! Oh and this prob won't go down too well but I wear vibram five fingers whilst running because I'm a believer in all things natural. Determined to run in them whilst fell running but we'll see for now!
Anyway that's me.
