It’s been quite a while since I last posted.
There were quite a few runs after the Ridgeway and by the end of the year I had we’ll and truly injured myself but completed 16 runs of at least a marathon in length (9 ultras and 7 marathons). My lower left leg and foot became very sore and swollen after running an ultra and 3 marathons in 8 days. A 6 week break gave my leg a chance to recover but it also gave me the time to plan for the next year.
The plan for this year is to run at least 20 marathons and I’ve already run the first 9 of them. I can’t say it’s been easy. After 4 marathons over 4 weekends I’m getting slower and I’ve felt tired, but in a good way. This Sunday will be my 5th weekend of running with Marlborough Downs challenge (33 miles), I’ll enjoy the rest afterwards.
