So it looks like post South Downs Way 100 has become a break from running. Probably needed I'd guess. This blog will probably become a bit stagnant but you never know, sometimes I get fired up about riding bikes when I've opted for an "off season" from running!
My jammed toe comes and goes with pain for no apparent reason. It's been well over a month with the odd injury I obtained from JKD. I'm ready for it to go but not sure how to progress with treatment.
Was in the US visiting my family for a couple weeks. Between having a huge social life, jet lag, chasing kids, and spending as much time as possible with family I didn't get out running once. No big deal really as other things had a significantly higher priority. It was an awesome visit but never ever long enough. I'm still waiting for that trip to be permanent as I was promised.
While home in the States I scrambled unnecessarily to gain entry into the Thames Path 100 the end of April 2017. I expected it to fill immediately, it didn't. Finishing it will get me into the lottery for UTMB and Western States 100 in 2018.
Planning ahead I guess! Now I need to find a 50 miler to use as a training run leading up to it!
I also keep kicking around the idea of Rovaniemi 150, February, Finland. I have time to train and there's a slim possibility that I can use "I'm turning 40" to strong arm a hall pass from the wife! You never know!
I've come to reality and accepted (I think!) the fact that right now with little kids my running life will be in turmoil. Speaking to friends with slightly older kids they all reassured me it gets better. Not having any close friends here in the UK those solid resources aren't an option.
