Mary is addicted to running
Hi, I am Mary Holba and 100th Cotswold Allrunners member.
So where did it all begin. Well, I didn’t start running until I was 43 years of age. Yes, I’d done other things of course, hiking, cycling, tennis and gym work!
Then one day I found myself sitting in a café with a friend who was in the recovery stages of a long illness and she asked me if I would train with her for the Stroud Half Marathon, it was January and the half marathon seemed too long off to worry about so I agreed.
Motivation
To my surprise my friend kept me on a training schedule and I soon realised she was serious.
Unfortunately she did not run the Stroud Half Marathon due to an injury sustained whilst training so I ran it alone but by then the damage was done!
