“Just before my running journey & before the pandemic, I was working as an educator for a Before and After School Care program & often played hide and seek or gang up tiggy with the kids. I would run around the playground and around local school grounds and kids would chase me up & down. It was so fun and I didn't think of it but it was running and I loved it. It gave me a feel good feeling and that's partial to the reason I started running. Being in nature & running around others gave me a push. Now it's running, getting a coffee, running, getting a sandwich - Lauz”
