Ola Powazynska

I participated in a marathon in Lebork, Poland, on June 21st. I say ‘participated’, because I didn’t finish it. I didn’t drop my training and say “To hell with running!” On the contrary: I’m even more determined now to run and finish my next marathon. This time it will take place in Scotland, around the picturesque Loch Ness.
