2/ #MyDaughter After becoming a proud mother in Aug 2020 and giving herself 6-8 months to regain health, she decided to do something she had never done in life. Run. She is an avid yoga fan but running??? Impossible. In Feb 2021 she met few of her friends who would run regularly.

3/ #MyDaughter At 31 yrs age, never having run in life she joined her friends in running. By Jun 2021 she had an app that guided how to develop into a good runner. By Sep 2021 she decided to take part in Half Marathon. 2km running became 3, then 4 then 7 and increased.

4/ #MyDaughter I went to her in Nov 2021 and found out that her friend, a marathoner, was helping her train. She now had a marathon training app. I saw her running 10km to 14km & now the new challenge she gave herself was time. She would do same distances but tried to close time.

5/ #MyDaughter She had motivated my son too who is five years younger. He joined in. This is June 2022. 16 months of training to run a half marathon by a girl who had never run in life. Today her practice sessions are increasing, distance is increasing and timings are closing.

6/ #MyDaughter The OXFORD MARATHON is on 18 Oct 2022. That is her target. A mother of two Yr old, not a runner, not a sportswoman and not a physically active woman from 2019 is now four months away from running 22.5km. Her aim is to complete the race. I feel so proud as a father.
