Sound Mind, Sound Body Series: Nicole George

May 30, 2023 20 years ago, Nicole George found herself on the start line of the KeriKeri Half Marathon. Armed with minimal training under her belt and a level of naivety around what was ahead of her, she managed to find her way to the BBQ and beers at the finish line and proceeded to spend the next 3 days in a state of shuffle.
