Kelly Holmes

I can't remember where I found tbhis passage about Kelly Holmes, kick-*ss runner, so no one sue me as I'd love to credit you if I could:



---------------------

By the time she was 18, Holmes was seeking new
challenges, and became what she calls “Army barmy”.
She did that by taking a career in the forces,
developing a reputation as a pocket physical training
instructor, who would bully men twice her size on the
judo mat, or galvanise the Army volleyball team.
Holmes would always be first in line when it came to
abseiling down sheer cliffs, or rafting fierce rapids,
despite her own fears of heights or water.

Cool, hey? I hope that she reads Proust too.
