About me
I am a runner trying to live healthy and happily. I run for charities and measure in smiles rather than time. I enjoy the sun when it rises when I am running. I enjoy the laughter and chatter of other runners and walkers as I trod along a running path or race. Every run I run that makes me smile is a good one. I am planning to have plenty of those this year!
I have lived in Germany, the UK and the US. Currently, I live in London. I took up long distance running in Austin, TX with Team in Training and will always have a special bond with both, the city and the team.
Happy Running!
Be inspired and join me in the world of running and happy living 
Excellent Blog. Love the pieces on the Olympics, its great to see and hear from what I like to say a “normal” persons perspective. Also great to see photos that are not the ones you generally see in the papers and on the net by journalists. Love IT!
Thanks so much. There are better writers than me covering the actual sports at the Olympics. I like to show more of the hidden fun parts that you’ll only get to see when you are in town. It is so inspiring. I really want to go to Brazil now in 2016. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Running has completely turned my life around…and I am not a competitive runner at all…I run for myself. I do charity runs as well…they are fun and have fabulous energy. I think of running as ‘meditation in motion’. Enjoy!
I just wanted to stop by and say I’ve been perusing your blog. You have a nice attitude about running and I look forward to hearing updates on your 1000 mile challenge!
Thank you.
