Wow it was cold tonight, no cloud cover minus 2, but what a lovely starry night! I had to keep looking down for fear of stumbling and twisting an ankle.
Well last week saw a drop in mileage as work and family commitments took their toll on the available quality running time. I like to get the mileage in between 7 and 9pm, usually but didn't succeed except on Wednesday with the Wetherby Runners club run, only managed 6 miles, and 10 miles on Saturday and 8 on Sunday all with the pack fully weighted.
Managed 8 miles tonight, and seem to have a clear spell for the rest of the week and weekend, so I'm aiming for 50+ miles this week.
My main focus currently is reducing the kit weight where ever possible, I thought I had been ruthless but cant seem to get it under 9.8 kg or 21.6lbs. My Static kit weighs 5.5kg and this will remain constant throughout the race, Food weighs 4.3 kg, which will reduce in weight daily, but I still need to add 2.5 ltrs of water in weight.
Hey ho the joys of Ultra Marathon Distance Extreme Running... should have taken up Origami instead... Not!!
more to follow soon...
