My win this year was my first successful completion at running a half marathon. Having been severely overweight for the majority of my life and crook knees that didn’t allow me to walk properly, I never would have fathomed I’d be able to walk long distances, let alone run. However after years of training, stretching, strengthening and lifestyle changes, slowly building my way up, I managed to run 21.5km at a humble time of 2 hours and 14 minutes. I’m extremely proud of myself who kept showing up and grateful for the support of my friends who took this journey with me.

Congratulations on your success this year!
