Mina is a 36 year old Primary School teacher who discovered the beauty of long-distance running in her late 20's. She would say she’s very ordinary and just someone who has a love of long distance running and spending time outdoors.  She hopes by sharing the different challenges and adventures she has, that it might in some way inspire you to take that step to actually do the things you really want to in your life. She believes that just by telling people the things you want to do it will start to make them more of a reality.  So say out loud what you want to do with your life and see what happens!  Mina is not a sponsored athlete, she doesn’t win the races she enters, she is a normal woman who has followed her passions!
