  2. I found your story on Youtube and went on to this site. It gives a load of information and inspiration for someone with the same questions in life as you had. Thanks for sharing!

    1. I’m not much of a runner. I do like to swim and bike. I had a bout of plantar fasciitis which has recently hampered my running training. But I’m slowly bringing it back up. Thanks for the well wishes. I need it. Cheers!
