Story

Sarah: I have found my running family!  After having children, the demands of everyday life and work restricted not just my time to exercise but also to connect with friends and socialise. My mental health was becoming affected and I felt the 'call to run'. Having never been a runner I started to google search for groups I might be able to join (I'm not the best self starter when it comes to exercise so I knew a group was a must!), I found Ruth's advert on social media to join a group of local ladies who had previously trained for a 5k and were looking for new members to train with them for a 10k. I jumped in feet first and trained from 0-10k. It is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I can now run 17k, am the fittest I have been in years both physically and mentally and have made friends for life. Being part of the group pushes me to succeed and exceed my own expectations, we support each other and genuinely care. I hope to keep running with my crew for many years to come. The opportunity to run The Royal Parks Half Marathon and raise money for Age UK Barnet is the icing on the cake. The team are training hard to achieve this goal and to raise funds for this vital charity.
