Almost 5 years ago running became a part of my life. After struggling with PND and seeing and hearing people recommend running as a way to help mental health it was worth a go. I dusted off my trainers, headed out and managed 3km on my first run! Since then the distances have increased to now regularly running half marathons and even a full marathon (Marathon Eryri) in 2019.
Running is now part of everyday life, and weekly meetings with a local running club helps to make sure theres no slipping back into bad habits of not wanting to leave the house and hide from the world!
Living in West Wales I have the perfect playground for doing what I enjoy the most – being outdoors! From on the top of a mountain or in the sea of the many local beaches, that’s where you’ll have a good chance of finding me exploring with the family and dogs.
Along with a local running coach, we have just had our first group of Couch To 5k Graduates, seeing them grow and find the same love for running as I did a few years ago has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of.
I’m a huge fan of colourful leggings and feel it can really brighten up you own mood and others around you, so much so I set up Be Your Happy Place Activewear. Where we encourage and support everyone on their own journey with our motto ‘Be you, Do You, For You’
