Off to the Moors

Hi All,

I'm on a train at the mo coming back from a meeting at Glasgow. Its 10.11pm, unlikely to get home til 12.45 or so but the good news is I was given a complementary upgrad to 1st class and have had free food and wine all night..woohoo.

So last weekend was a good run. It ended up taking me 5hrs 17mins which was better than 2007 but a bit disappointing as I finished the first half in 2hrs 5mins and was on for a good time but I got lost about 3 times, one for about 30 minutes.

How can you get lost you ask... Well you are given 4 A4 pages of notes which you use to navigate yourself around the course. There are no mile markers or any directional markers at all and as my orientiering skills are not that hot it was inevitable that I got lost.

This weekend is much of the same in that I have a 28 mile run planned. Fortunately this time all i need to do is turn up and run as Matt and his mates are sorting out the details, cheers Matt. Matt is doing the Hardmoors 110 run in October so this weekend is a reccy of part of the course, should be interesting.

Right im off to enjoy more free wine.

Cheers

Johnny
