I have been enjoying leading the Wednesday junior run group. The participants are full of enthusiasm. We have been doing pacing exercises, a run based running form and technique circuit, sprints, drills and lots more. We still have space for a few more to join us so please do get in touch if you want your youngster to give it a try.

As I get older and I have come to realise how precious life can be, I am on a real mission to live and make the most of mine. When I was asked to join in on an adventure to the Dolomites to complete the AV2 route, I questioned if I had enough experience, If i would cope with the exposure and if I could leave my family behind for a week.

I knew that it was going to be a life changing and unforgettable experience with some truly inspiring, skilled, strong yet kind hearted females. How could I say no. So I said a slightly nervous yes and began preparing myself for the unknown.

As always Derek was fully supportive and selfless in letting me go. He did a fantastic job of juggling work, the kids and the pets without complaint, which I will be forever grateful for.

We travelled light allowing us to move quicker covering what usually takes 14 Days in only 6. With a huge amount of elevation and distance over roughed and in places quite extreme terrain.

The main thing I learnt from embarking on the trip were;

- That we are always more capable than we give ourselves credit for!
- Don't let fear get in the way of opportunities. It is only the people who push past their limits who get to know how unlimited they really are.
- Surround yourself with people you can look up to and learn from.
- half the possessions we own we really do not need.
- Washing is overrated.
- Live your life!

I hope I can inspire you to become an adventurer and do more of what you love doing. For me I have never felt more at home than when I am in the mountains. Thank you Ros, Katie, Sarah, Katie P and Marie for making the trip so memorable.

I have finally got round to setting up a Junior Running session. My aim is to start small and hopefully invest in building this group including more age groups, opportunities and coaches. Getting children more active and finding joy in movement and running is a cause close to my heart. Currently only 10 spaces available so if you are keen get in touch quick.
