The 50 Mile Challenge - Sun 10th Aug 2008

Yes...I finished it in bang on 12 hours...It was bloody tough & I wondered why it was officially called a 'challenge' and not a race or an Ultra (which it was) - well, 52.4 miles actually...Well, it was called a challenge because it was bloody tough!!! It was tough and hot and there were puddles and stinging nettles and slippery riverside concrete and broken pathways and 2 foot grass condensed like sand and high winds throughout the day but I bloody well did it...can't walk though at the mo...lol...need a few days R&R.
This is one tough run...but I shall be back for more... :)

The Ultra-Taper

This is the difficult bit...not running or running short distances as opposed to running my regular Weds 12 miler. So i cross train with some core strength/weight training and yoga stretches and maybe a 2 miler with some fast burst in between them. Today I shall get on the rower and fantasize about being in the GB Olympic rowing team! LOL (What is this LOL shite??) Reading Anton's blog for some inspiration for Sunday's 50 miler.
