Well it is now less than 11 days till the big 50 miler! Four months of training have been completed and I feel really excited about this first milestone in my distance running.
The Wye Valley 50 will actually be my first ever marathon distance too and hopefully Blizzard's!
The plan is to collect Blizzard at about mile 18 and see how she goes, the first part of the course takes in quite a lot of road and I know that Blizz doesn't enjoy that but hopefully she will rise to the challenge and I would like her to manage her first marathon too.
But before the 50 is the English Fell Champs first race at Longmynd in Shropshire. I did two of the EFC races last year and it was a real eyeopener into real Fell runners and how good they are and how far behind them I am. But we only improve with training so this is what my aim is this year.
I have many aims and many plans - some may fall by the wayside but if you do not have any dreams and ambitions then you can never achieve them!
