So here I am, little me running 5K in April knowing full well the last time I ran properly was in year 10 I want to say doing cross country. This was also the time we were forced to run the course again, because someone  decided to say they were pushed down a hill when really they fell down it. So let's just say Runner's High is never something I've experienced. I will be running using my Grandad Alan as my inspiration. For more about him and why the Stroke association means so much to me you can see my not-so subtle plug here . If you're reading this pl
