No this is not me dicing with the edges of educational blogging, as much as I'm tempted, I'm merely thinking about entering a few races for the coming year.
What's brought this on? Well, an email arrived yesterday from some crazy woman at school. She was following up on an email sent about 4 million years ago* that was inquiring whether there were enough people that fancied doing the Rat Race, and that maybe we could enter a team. I don't actually remember replying to the initial email, although as it was 4 million years ago that's not surprising, but apparently I was interested. This crazy woman is now looking for definite numbers and is on the verge of entering a team! And…..I'm in!
So….10th May…..20 miles….200 obstacles….yowza!
20 miles? That's quite a way! So I've been thinking about entering a few races before May. I've got a couple in mind that I've done before:
- Spalding Half Marathon
- Newton's Fraction Half Marathon
Although, taking part in Janathon is a good start for getting a bit of mileage in. Today is the eleventh day of Janathon which means, especially with all the rain, it is beginning to get a bit crowded at the back door…
Today was a 5-miler around the woods with the dog. Lots of people about this morning: runners, dog walkers and cyclists, including some particularly ignorant people about who refused to acknowledge my 'good mornings'. Sod 'em!
Total Janathon mileage = 39.36
* this may be a slight exaggeration
Go for it Phil!
Cheers fella
20 miles?! With obstacles?! Respect…
Twenty miles WITH obstacles, just thinking about doing it is hardcore, doing it is heroic!
Wow, 20 miles would be more than enough for me but then adding in obstacles?! You’re brave haha
200 obstacles! wow.. enjoy 🙂
