This is Anna

Hello and welcome to my blog!
This is my first post and I decided to tell you a bit about myself and my blogging aspirations.
I'm Anna and I'm from Poland, however I've been living in Ireland for the past 10 years. I've made Dublin my home, even though it's true what others say, that the weather is crap and it's very congested. Well I've decided to look on the bright side and see the other side of the coin. I have met many wonderful people over here and while it may rain a lot, it is rarely too cold or too hot to run ;)
I have started running just over two years ago and my life has changed dramatically - but in a good way! - since.
It was end of November 2014, when I managed to run my first 5km without stopping and every single one of these 5 kilometers was ecstatic. It was the day I decided I was couch potato no more and that this was a beginning of a great and rewarding journey for me.
When I realised I could run 5 km, something that was out of my reach just 12 months before, I started wondering what else was I capable of and started challenging my comfort zone since.
Carried by this inner wave of enthusiasm, I signed up for the VHI Women's mini Marathon taking place on June 1st 2015, which was 10km, so now I have set the bar even higher and had motivation to train even harder! 
From then on, I fell in love with running. For a seasoned runner this may be no achievement, but we all had to start somewhere. Let's remember where we all came from, let's run fast, run long, but let's not outrun our joy of running!
My runners are now first on my packing list when I travel and i try to run a couple of races per year to keep my spirit of competitiveness alive. I hope to run my first Marathon this year, so wish me luck!

So from this place, I invite you to share and spread your joy of running, your ups and downs, for motivation, support and a bit of fun while we're at it ;)
