With more marathons, half marathons and fun runs under her belt than any other person I know, our Minister Shelley recently came face to face with one of Britain’s all time athletics icons… Dame Kelly Holmes.
“We met” says Shelley “after the Great North Run run, while I was queuing for crisps and she was brilliant”.
Sadly, Shelley didn’t get to meet another “celebrity” – Prime Minister Andy Burnham. She did, however, complete the 13.1 mile course four minutes quicker than he did.
Well done Shelley – keep on running.
