#MedalMonday🏅 Ipswich Half Marathon. Beat last year's time

middleagedrunner.bsky.social @middleagedrunner.bsky.social · Aug 11

So this past weekend I achieved the unthinkable and completed my first ever Ultramarathon. I did Run Sandringham 24 in memory of my mum and managed 50 miles!

There's still time to donate if you can

Just 6 weeks until my first ever Ultramarathon. I am taking part in the Run Sandringham 24-hour race and will be raising money for Lymphoedema Support Network

The nerves are real, and any money you can give will be greatly appreciated. Even a share would be grand

#Parkrun with the wife yesterday. Due to Pride, our local one was cancelled so we became tourists. Might have found a new regular as it was delightful

I'll take them off your hands

middleagedrunner.bsky.social @middleagedrunner.bsky.social · Feb 16

Was feeling energetic yesterday so opted to run the 6.6km to #Parkrun before my actual #Parkrun

14 days until my next #HalfMarathon and leg feels good. Body feels good. #ChelmsfordHalfMarathon I'm coming for you!

Thank you. I thought it had healed up. Still strapped it but felt it go. Was about 10th from last but was being either a. Determined (me) or b. A stubborn git (my wife)

First #HalfMarathon of the year in the bag. #GreatBentleyHalfMarathon. My calf decided to tear again halfway round and so I was left to Jog/Hobble the final 10k. Great Marshalling, Amazing Organisation... Hate the wooden medal though...
