About Me

I'm a kiwi guy in guy late 30's and I've got a simple dream of one day running a marathon. Problem is I've been struck down by shin and foot injuries which have hampered my progress for the last year or so.

I blog in order to try and keep the dream alive by hopefully learning more about running from reading of others experiences.
