How did you get into running?

I used to enjoy running when I was in high school, but hadn’t done so for over 20+ years. I started swimming  in my 40’s and the lifeguards were doing the Race for life and asked if I wanted to join them. I said yes and I haven’t stopped running since.

What is your favourite event and why? 
I love the Greater Manchester 10k, as the atmosphere is awesome and there are plenty of runners that I know, taking part each year.

What else do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
