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 […]
Sunday 6th November #88, nice number, third half this week! Ran with Paul Williams, we met at the Gateway at 10.30, I ran a mile warm up to get there and Paul a similar distance from Copthorne. Tough course which I partly run before, but was very enjoyable. The pace we kept at was almost […]
Wednesday 3rd August #61 done this morning, 39 to go and now the number of remaining runs is in the thirties 🙂 Can’t believe seven months have gone by already!! Took it easy today, route was very random, many laps around town centre and in the Quarry. On Km 11 I saw Jenny and Stephanie […]
#59 Thursday 28th July #59 done and it wasn’t easy but wasn’t as tough as I expected ! After a week rest in Aruba with only one 5k run over there that felt like a 10k in the humidity and heat even at 6am, and a total of 10 days break from long runs, I […]
Sunday 29th May: Run #44 completed early in the morning in Wales. It was a good one for many reasons, good because of change of scenery and specially because it’s on the same bank holiday and in the same place that exactly 5 years ago I went for my first ever run! This is where […]
Sunday 10th April : #29 29th done in 1: 37′, but don’t be fooled by the time, it was hard work!! Beautiful morning, started with a little loop around the estate, then from Hubert Way up Ellesmere Rd all the way to the Two Henrys roundabout, right onto the A49, where I had to […]
Thursday 31st March : #26 Really enjoyed Half number 26. Weather was perfect, blue sky, sunshine, and quiet cool at 9am Started at Meole Brace Retail Park car park and ran without a planned route, ended up in Sutton farm, Abbey Forgate, Coleham, Ditherington and turned back. No toots to mention, but on Km 11 […]
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 […]
