Many people put their feet up and relax after day's work but not 77-year-old porter Bernard from our Derby store who loves to go out running when he gets home.
Army veteran Bernard, who's worked at the store for 27 years, has tackled numerous marathons and half-marathons over the years and recently completed the Derby half-marathon, raising money for Tickled Pink which supports Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel!. He said: "I just love running. When you finish your run it just makes you feel better. I go out three times a week, and one of those may be about nine miles, just nice and steady though as I've started to slow down a bit now. I don't wear headphones or listen to music. I just dream about going to the Caribbean when I'm jogging along!"
Store manager Jon said: "Bernard is a fantastic colleague who we are so proud of inside and outside work. He never fails to amaze us with his stunning achievements and upcoming goals."
