Mark - Getting Busy

I always used to try and keep fit. I played football, ran, swan and did the usual gym stuff. Then life took over. My 2 beautiful children took over and I loved every second of it and the exercising stopped. Then about 18 months ago, I had a huge change in my life and I needed to get busy. So I started running again and about 8 months ago I joined Ystrad Runners. What a transformation! From huffing and puffing a 5k I’m now about to run a 11 mile charity race in September and the Cardiff Half Marathon in October. Without the support, encouragement and friendship I get from the club this wouldn’t have happened. Great club, great friends.

Mark has since run (and smashed) the Velindre 11 mile Castle 2 Castle run from Caerphilly Castle to Cardiff Castle. Great preparation for him doing the Cardiff Half Marathon in a few weeks.

In other news, the club are very lucky that Mark has recently volunteered to become a junior coach. The guys at the club will all benefit from his enthusiasm!
