Kirsten the runner

That is who I have become known as and this intrigues me as I haven’t always run.  If you have read my bio you will see that I was the last person I would have expected to run.

Now when I tell people that I use to smoke they are shocked, they are equally shocked when I say I go to slimming world.  It is funny how other people perceive you; “Kirsten you are a runner and healthy couldn’t imagine you doing anything like that!”  It is kind a nice to think people look at me and see someone healthy but I think it is only fair if I share the fact that I too struggle with motivation, running, food, getting faster and food.

I haven’t always run, I took it up really back in 2010 I had run a little before that but for buses and last orders at the bar does not count.  

I started out with a couple of 5k and 10k’s and thought anyone running a marathon must be mad. Now I have run 21 half marathons with a PB of 1:42:04 and 2 full marathons with a PB of 3:48:01 and to date clocked up 5341 miles! 


So I guess I am "Kirsten the runner"
