But being a volunteer Coastguard rescue officer for 19 years and now the station officer is right up there.I even attended a rescue on the morning of our wedding day, and was almost late of which Debs reminds me regularly.

MY NEXT GOALS AND PROJECTS

Enjoying running socially with no pressure I’d really like to go sub 2hrs for a half marathon but who knows. I’m going to do some more trail running as this is something I’ve really enjoyed albeit only a few a short races. I’m looking forward to the Asics London 10k where I will get the opportunity to run on the closed roads of London that are normally gridlocked with traffic and I’m hoping to do one of the international Asics meet ups.
