For our Silver Wedding Anniversary, we went to Cairo and alongside seeing the fabulous sights, on the last day we experienced the most bizarre adventure into the desert. 

After retiring, we went on the holiday of a lifetime - a trek to Everest Basecamp.  It turned out to be everything we anticipated, and more!

Not the story of my first marathon, but more the story of the first marathon race.  The London Good For Age time was my goal and this is how I went about it.

Taking up the challenge of having a go at a Triathlon lead to a one-off attempt.  Why?  read this and find out. 

My first venture into the land of the Ultra Marathon

What happens when you set out to run a 6 hour race, with no advance planning.  Here's what!

With a goal to get an Orange Xempo vest (sub 3:45) I used the Pfitzinger and Douglas 55 miles a week, 18 week training plan, then ran 26.2 miles along Blackpool seafront in the rain and wind.... what could go wrong!

Nothing is better - or worse - than running a race with friends.  Add that I have moved away from them to a flat area and am trying to train for a very hilly Ultra and it makes for an interesting race!
