Been quiet of late because I was diagnosed with high blood a couple of weeks ago. No obvious cause, could be hereditary, now on meds which seem to have it at least partially under control. Loved it when they asked if I was active, my reply was “I ran for 11 hours at the weekend” 😂

Currently having an absolute blast running Brindlewood Bay for a small group of friends, including someone who’s never played a tabletop RPG before, and it’s going really well! It’s a nice simple system with fun mechanics. The fact that everyone is a fan of cosy murder shows makes it even better 😃

Went to get flu jab on Tuesday, was flagged as having VERY high blood pressure. It was normal last time it was checked, but I’m currently at stage 2 hypertension levels. Had a bunch of tests done and am monitoring my BP at home for a week. Fingers crossed we get to the bottom of this.

There was no course record! The race finished at 1am at a VERY impressive 41 hours equalling the current record). It was lovely to see so many people I consider friends in the final few too. I genuinely love the backyard ultra community.

Timed out, just, at 11 hours (about 75km). The weather was ATROCIOUS, so I’ll take that, not the PB I was hoping for, but not my worst result by any stretch. Had to scream “old fat bastard, get you big fat lazy arse in gear, NOW!!!” At myself to make it round loop 10.

Well, the weather is bobbins. Event organisers have already switched to the alternate day route which cuts out some treacherous sections of the course. Looks like more bad weather tomorrow. I’m expecting it to be a test of bad weather endurance as much as physical 😂

One of the reasons I love the ultra running community is I posted an update on my social media saying I was hoping to run for 24 hours at the weekend’s backyard, but that that would require me knocking 12 hours off my 100 mile PB, and several very decent runners offered to help.

Lovely 6km run to town to get a train at shat o’clock this morning. Even managed to grab an earlier train! Love seeing the city in the early hours in autumn. Now to Manchester for some hot #umbraco action!
