So, as my profile says, I have a heart defect and was once laughed at for saying I wanted to be an athlete (as a child on the cardiac ward by the consultant) I decided there and then that I'd prove him wrong, one day!!! So here I am, I've done many silly things due to various reasons over the years but I'm now someone who's run 3 marathons and am training for an ultra in September, "the Toad Challenge" all of these are to raise money for Asthma UK in memory of my sister (a story for another time) but also to prove people wrong. I'm not the fastest, by a long shot (altho I'm improving) but that bit is hard with the heart "issue" but I train hard and don't give up!! This is my story as I go thru the trials and tribulations of training for my ultra!!!
