And we’re off….
Project52 officially started on New Year’s day down at Figgate Park for Portobello Parkrun. Surrounded by 300+ others, 6 of which were friends donning the project t-shirts, we embarked on 5km around the park. It was a balmy 14deg so a very pleasant start to the challenge and great fun to do it with other […]
