“Running has always been a base sport for me while playing hockey. But my partner got me into running a bit more, especially through lockdown last year. She convinced me to sign up to the Auckland Half Marathon in 2020 and it was such an awesome experience, especially with the crowds and atmosphere at the end.
I also get out into the Hutt Valley hills with my dog Kara and run the trails. When I’m not volunteering, we usually do parkrun at Lower Hutt together which I love, and Kara does too (sorry for all the barking everyone). It’s always a nice morning out, and we love the treats after. Next challenge is the Wellington Half Marathon in October!”
