I am new here - from Ultra to 5km!

[hansielouw]

I am new here, but not new to running. I lost a good amount of weight 20 years afgo and then fullfilled a life long dream to run an Ultra Marathon. I was introduced to parkrun in 2015 and I love the concept and the connections it brings.

My weight is under control. I have entered for two Ultras for this year. If you can do a 5km, you can do an Ultra !
