Enjoy. The blisters lost their battle to stayed inflated early in the race but they took their revenge by spreading all over the balls of both feet. Also showing their faces are the ones on the front of both my big toes.

When I woke up from this I think I said “alright who took a picture” everyone denied it until Mel came over and was like “I did!” 😆

Think it’s going to take a long time to process GUCR this weekend, but as a nice summary for how things went, here I am asleep on the canal at 130 miles.

Replaced the cold frame at the allotment with the mega-cold frame. Recycled some old wood from a knocked down shed behind us and made up the size and shape as I went along

It’s going to be a long day. Any more I should get rid of?

There were times on Saturday I thought that if I never got to do another run I’d be ok with that, just absolutely ridiculous, once in a lifetime conditions at the Bowland Ultra. And one of the race photos is me stuffing my face leaving an aid station. Loved it, one day I’ll stop wanging on about it

Just had such an incredible day of running doing the Bowland Ultra yesterday. Waist deep snow, ice, below 0c all day. Absolutely stunning, I really think the Forest of Bowland is one of the most beautiful places in the uk. Absolutely knackered today though! #running #ultrarunning

Absolutely stunning morning over the pennines at this morning race. We deserved it after the wind and rain from last year!

It’s my favourite race of the year tomorrow, a beautiful 21 trail run around Hebden bridge. It’s my third year in a row, and even the thought of it makes me smile. We had hard snow all round two years ago, and what can only be described as “challenging” conditions last year.What will tomorrow bring?

Many races entered. It’s been an expensive afternoon 😳 . Some new to me, some I absolutely love already.
Training plan made (ish). Yikes.
