Until a couple of months ago, I had never attempted to run. Ever.

Sure, I cheated my way through runs in PE class and chased an occasional bus or two, but unless I had to run to save my life, running was just not an option.

Then, this spring, when our office began discussing the Maccabi GB Community Fun Run, a colleague suggested I give it a go. How hard could it be, right?

Very hard, I thought. I can’t do this. The one time I had tried, since my schooldays, my chest and throat were soon on fire and I didn’t make it past my street.

But, I told myself – new year, new me. And all for an amazing reason – the Maccabi GB Community Fun Run.
