Over the last 7 months, I have embarked on the adventure of running the Stockholm Marathon! While I have yet to run the marathon which will be on June 1st, the real challenge has been all of the long runs, workouts, and self-discovery throughout the training period. In October, I ran my first half-marathon and unfortunately, three days after the race, I had to have surgery on my foot. When I was able to return to running, I felt so grateful, motivated, and appreciative to be back and running loops around Cardiff. So, I signed up for a marathon after my first run post-surgery and have spent the last few months challenging myself every week to go further and faster while appreciating the amazing things my body can do.

Why is the outdoors important to you?

Training for the Stockholm Marathon has allowed me to challenge myself, test the limits of my mental and physical strength, and appreciate my own resilience in a way I never have before. I have also had the opportunity to explore the beautiful parks, trails, rivers, and bays in Cardiff where I recently moved in September 2023.

Why do you want to be involved?

I think the #MakingWaves event will be an empowering opportunity to connect with inspirational women and celebrate our beauty. I would love to share the experience and hopefully feature some of the other women on my Instagram account, as well as on my podcast, in order to amplify their stories and empower an even wider community of people.
