I'm Back....!?

Not sure how long this will last but lets give it another go eh!?

Again I've done a fair bit between posts!? West Highland Way Race...great success! Excelling expectation with about 24hr 40minutes. A near perfect run out, spent with a great group of supporters including Muzza, Dave Troman and Jack...of course not forgetting Karen who supported the whole endeavour! Hardmoors 110 (2015), another great day out, completed in just sub 30 hrs! Well pleased with that! Lakeland 100 (2016)...not so good. Suffered with sleep depravation and finished running with Karen who was on her Lakeland 50 completion. I finished in 36+ hrs and Karen in sub 20 hrs. Still a massively enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Been an odd few years moving house too often and never totally feeling settled, getting settled then moving on....Hopefully that's stopped for now having bought and 'settled' in Bentham, North Yorkshire.

Next on the list is another go at the Lakeland 100 and an attempt to do sub 32 hours, a long shot with my present level of training. Also a proper go at the Fellsman in April, having covered 20 odd miles as a training effort and recce with Karen last year. Then there's the small matter of a 7th Bullock Smithy and another crack at sub 11....another long shot.

So here's to my third attempt at the Man With No Shed blog.....still no shed but now with a permanent garage!!
