Whilst definitely not athletic by nature, I enjoy the outdoors and have blended my competitive nature with running.  In classic mid-life crisis mode, I've completed multiple marathons, ultra-marathons and multi-stage races. These include: the Tokyo Marathon, Berlin Marathon, The Big Red Run (250km across the Simpson Desert, Australia), The Outback Marathon (at Uluru), the Anzac 100km and The Alps to Ocean Ultra, 330km across the south island of New Zealand. Whilst I will never get near a podium, I really enjoy the camaraderie, seeing new landscapes and how far I can push my limits.
