(2023-2024)		 I started running later in life, in 2016 to be exact, soon after my son Jack was born. My first 5K race was coincidentally Gordy's 1st race in 2017. that I was hooked! Running is the most exhilarating, freeing sport. I wish I found it sooner. The camaraderie of running is like nothing else. We are accepting of all abilities, all types of people, and running with my Harrier friends is where I feel happiest!
