Meet and Greet!

Right now it would be rude to carry on if you didn't know who we are properly so I will use this post to introduce us to you.

Me, Stacie and Rosie met in the deepest darkest parts of Berkshire, where we bonded over a love for nozzles, Disney song trivia and Lebanese people. Since then we have moved on into the scary wide world to pursue "careers" which will make meeting up as a group to train slightly more difficult... but we will persevere (mainly so they get the pleasure of mocking my efforts to keep up!)

The idea of running started off with Stacie, (so there we have the official documentation of who to blame) who is our current gym addict! Hailing from the North she brings with her the fitness regime, the experience (via her father) and the deep-heat soaked trousers! Being the brains behind the operation she is also in charge of logistics and so will be fully responsible if we are left stranded in Portsmouth in October...

Next comes in Rosalind, she is the dark horse being an ex-rower. Notorious for her tough approach to team training she has been nominated as "Miss Motivator" and will expend half her energy running and the other half shouting encouragement/abuse at us to get us through training and round the course.

Lastly (and this could easily be in the same order as the Pompey finish line!) comes me, Andy. I bring nothing but boundless enthusiasm to the team... which after my second training run today I have found will be of no use in getting me to the finish line! However by donning sweat-bands and leg warmers I hope to transform into a running machine whilst also bringing a spot of glamour to the team!

So there you have it, I hope you feel a little more introduced. Don't feel you cant say hello or any words of encouragement along the way!

Andy
