Day 67 - next race please..

And so it goes on. A week after the Imber Ultra 33 mile I have my first real attempt at 'back to back' runs (eg, two long runs one after the other). Here's the number for the first, which I collected today, the Larmer 10 mile, which i will be the sweeper at.

Day 66 - a souvenir

Just got round to clearing my pack out from the weekend and found this spent bullet case I had picked up as a souvenir from Salisbury Plain (despite being told not to pick up anything shiny, I figured this was safe as it had already been fired!)

Day 65 - Recovery

So, following on from a large number of miles run, comes the demand from my body to ingest a rather large number of calories. These were a necessity of course :-)

Day 64 - what a mug!

...but not just any old mug. This was awarded instead of a finishers medal at the Imber Ultra 33 mile trail race around salisbury plain. You'd think wouldnt you that a plain would be flat but no. 

33 miles of mud, hills, more mud, rain, hail and gale force winds, means this mug is now a treasured possession!

Day 63 - Moors Valley parkrun

Hazel's first time at Moors Valley parkrun and she took 5 mins off her xmas day time at Poole, which she says she doesnt like. Enjoyed running it with her :-)

Day 62 - On Track

My tracker has arrived from Race Drone to test out on Sundays Imber Ultra. It's nice and compact. It looks very simple, an on/off button and an SOS button in case of emergency. I don't actually know if anything will happen if i press the SOS button but im not going to test it out! This should send my whereabouts to a web page where friends can see how well or badly Im doing on the day :-) I plan on hiring one for the 100k in May so I wanted to see how well they worked.

Day 61 - World Book Day

As its World Book Day today, no im not going to dress up as a character, but I am going to photograph my collection from my favourite authors, Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams.

Day 60 - St David's Day

For St David's day, what else but a daffodil from my garden. This is a miniature version and for some reason the focus wouldnt go right!
