I was a fairly active teenager, heavily into cricket and bike riding. Through my twenties I found all the bad habits and slowly got bigger, slower and more unhealthy. With news of my eldest son on the way, I decided to turn things around and got my diet back on track, and spent countless hours up the 1,000 Steps. After a few years, the running bug took hold, and since 2010 I've been running regularly. I first found Lysterfield Trail Runners, then TXR, then Casey 30+ and more recently Emerald Runners. Running has become a big part of my life, which I wouldn't have any other way. The fitness it brings goes far beyond running, and is worth every minute at training.
