So..... running

One of my colleagues at work is a strange lady.

3 years ago she smoked regularly, ate kinda okay, but not particularly healthily, and was a self described 'lazy slob'. She decided to change all that and started running and eating healthily happened as a natural extension of that, along with not smoking.

Last year she ran marathons for the first time. Several of them over the space of a year.

This year she's run a few marathons, won the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu marathon in 6h 19m (a 27.5m trail that climbs up to heights of 4200m, something she can't train for here), and has taken up ultra-running.

She's just been confirmed for this http://www.hurt100trailrace.com/ Crazy lady...
