Xmas Eve: Saturday 24th December I did it !! #100 done ! All sub 2hrs and 100 different routes! Challenge is now complete and I feel a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I never doubted I wouldn’t complete it, I always knew I could do it and was confident in my training […]
Thursday 8th December #97 done this morning in 1:47′ Started from Radbrook Community Centre at 9.30 Was raining when I started but only fine rain and sun was out and shining by the time I finished just after 11. Route wasn’t too challenging but legs were still sore from Sunday’s trail run and yesterday’s intervals […]
Thursday 1st December #95 done this morning. Had a sore knee since yesterday, happened after training session with Marcus. I strapped it and smothered it with deep heat. It was a very icy cold morning and I made sure I did an extended warmup. Had to combine the run with work once again because of […]
Thursday 1st September #69 This morning I completed #69. Was a lovely bright morning, a slight breeze was blowing to start with but got hotter later on. Started at around 9.20 at Radbrook Centre, ran round the Radbrook Green Park pond, took some photos and selfies, waved at a couple of ducks and off I […]
Wednesday 8th June: #47 was the hardest so far and my slowest solo run to date at 1: 48′ I took my beagles for a walk early in the morning and weather was cloudy and cool. By the time I started my run at 12pm (silly me, never again!) it was boiling hot and not […]
Thursday 17th March: #22 completed, 288 miles done, 1022 miles left. This time next week it will be under 1000!! 😀 I didn’t feel too much pain during the three days after Ironbridge and I thought it would be easy today. But it wasn’t! Legs and mainly the hamstrings felt really stiff from the word […]
10% Complete #7,8,9 and 10 Sunday 24th January: 1:40′.17″ Half #7 done, my second fastest time this year so far, was very warm and tough going even on an easy course, not surprised, I’ve ran 33 miles in four days including a sub20′ parkrun ! The good news is that I’m having three days rest, […]
Thursday 14th January: #4 was easy peasy, picked a route that I regularly use, with a few climbs but nothing too strenuous. Was a cold and windy morning, my finishing time was 1h 44′ 02″ my slowest to date, but that was part of my plan because of a little backache I’ve had for […]
My first three 13.1 miles runs done and dusted and only 1270 miles to go 😃 Felt so good starting my challenge on the 1st of January in the Quarry at Shrewsbury parkrun, my favourite running event. I joined 222 parkrunners and the support was overwhelming . It was nice to get a mention by […]
During my lifetime four members of my father’s side of the family have been diagnosed with Cancer, three of them (my dad, nan and recently my auntie) have passed away and my uncle is currently fighting this awful disease. In 2012 & 2014 I completed challenges for Children Charities and raised over £3000, “this time […]
