And like always as I get excited things topple down. Some sickness infiltrated my house and I was unknowingly sick. I was insanely exhausted. I kept pushing through until one day I finally opted to nap versus run. I slept for two hours! And I'm not a napper! 

It's finally on the way out and I'm feeling better even doing all of the night feeds of my new son. I'm up about every 3 - 4 hours at night and it isn't bothering me too much. 

I found another "training race" leading up to GUCR. The Wychavon Way Ultra. Point to point. Local. 40 miles. Cost is only £21! I signed up immediately. I believe it's about five weeks out from GUCR so ideal timing for a long run. Having aid stations make these long runs do much easier to do.
