Great report Mon, don't think I'd do it myself without back up and probably later in the year, especially with some of the weather you had.

Did my longest EVER today. 14.3 miles in 2hr 18mins. Stopped at the house very briefly twice to practice putting some food in. Just a couple of slices of malt loaf with proper salted butter!! I bought a Camelbak Delaney the other week to carry fluid on a longer run which I am sipping on every 10 minutes. I quite like it. It slips a bit on the waist strap when the bottle is full with it bouncing a bit. I'll have to get the needles out and a bit of velcro and I'm sure it will sort the problem.

Back to work tomorrow, it does get in the way I find!!!!

See you in 7 weeks time!

Barley - seeing Dave's list there, have you tried cutting the toe out of the front of a pair of trainers to ease the pain in your toe or isn't it an impact pain?

"Mon's Cafe Tour of Britain".
What a lovely read! Fantastic training and a lovely report. Thanks!

Symes, it isnt really an impact pain but I may just try it for experimental reasons, cheers.

In other news, and in terms of 'the challenge' I have lost 6lb in the last two weeks and now down to 16st 4lb

I was thinking about my weight the other day and given im roughly 220lb, lets say 2lb is 1% of body weight.

I know there are a lot of variables, muscle mass vs fat and everything, but if 2lb less weight meant im 1% quicker, every 2lb lost could save about 20 minutes.  Thats quite an incentive to loose as much as I can.

Brill report Mon.  And yes, Melds. We don't need to do it now. 

Can I add a pair of tweezers to anyones kit list please?  Or a designated first aider?

I still suffer the after effects of a tick bite I got last year at AT that ended up as Lyme disease.  Not nice at all. And there were no visible signs warning of the problem which is getting more common in the New Forest.

Holly, I heard about that, it's a very serious illness, so worth making sure everyone's aware.

Meldy, It's rather like I say to my brother, I do all the exercise so you don't have to.

It is, Mon.  Mine was diagnosed and treated early but I'm still suffering post-viral issues. I'm susceptible to everything that goes around and taking ages to recover.  Massive pain in the arse if I'm honest!

Carl, good work on your weight loss, you  won't be far off Dave at this rate, he's over 13, and is a fat man in a thin mans body.
