WHO IS HEIDI?

once upon a time

there was

a young girl

full of words

with no way

to release

or unfasten

the torrent

of sentences

from her spirit

but then

this young girl

she found

her gift

when she moved

she could be anything

when she moved

she became

the writing

when she moved

she became

the dreams

the dreamer

she was unleashed

she was unstoppable

Hi! / Hallo! / Ciao! / Hola!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit my blog site. I hope you enjoy your time here.

My name is Heidi Davies. I am a twenty four years old. I grew up in the heart of Mid Wales, surrounded by the rolling hills and the call of nature around every corner. 

I have been running ever since I was a young teenager in all sorts of races. Track, cross country, road running...

In 2014 my heart was stolen by the hills and my main focus switched to the somewhat challenging but wholly invigorating sport of mountain running. 

Mountain running has opened my eyes to the world and the natural environment in which we live and the many different possibilities. The different cultures, languages and the numerous breathtakingly beautiful places you get to run. I find myself craving future adventures and continuously looking forward to where the sport may take me next. 

Ultimately, I run because exploring new places by foot makes me happy. 

Mountain running is so much more than just a sport. It's about the inspiring people you meet, the incredible places you get to visit, the close friendships you build and the unforgettable memories you make.

It's so much more than a run up a hill.

The sport of mountain running has led me home. Now I live in Italy in the magical town of Malonno. The country of the mountain race. Here mountain running is embedded deep into the history of the town. The tradition of the FlettaTRAIL race is ingrained into the spirit of the people and the crisp mountain air. My first experience of the race in 2017 led me to dream of making Malonno my home... and now here I am. I can't get enough of the mountains, the tall trees and simple things. I am spell-bounded by this magical place and the life here. 

I've always been passionate about movement and the body's ability to move through different landscapes whilst simultaneously creating thoughts and words along the way. Every footstep holds the ability to open up new worlds within and tell a story.  I hope you enjoy reading some of my personal stories I share with you on this blog site.

Happy running!
