Spending most working days in the office, I’ve been trying to keep fit with varying levels of success. There have been excuses – too much work, not enough time, feeling tired or unwell, until I realised I needed a purpose to keep me on the right track. I often used to talk myself out of doing something because I lacked self-confidence. By signing up for the Henley Mile I’m getting out of my comfort zone (I’m very anxious being in open water) and want to prove to myself that I can do it.
