touie2: Sympathies and good luck forrapid healing. Regarding re-starting, I took two weeks off after TT50, then did a week of reduced mileage (maybe 20-25 miles) ending with nine miles on the Sunday, then jumped to about 40 miles for the following week ending with 8 + 20 at the weekend and I'm intending to do 25ish this Sunday, although not fast as I'll be following SDW for the first time.

If any of you speak Spanish, you'll love this little video. "Esos locos que corren" means something like "Those crazy runners". If you don't speak Spanish, watch it anyway, you'll get the idea just from the animation.

Transvulcania looks awesome. I would be tempted depending on cost as I want to go out to the states again.

I will ask someone who goes over this year about it and see what they say... I want another US buckle so will save some cash for that next year.

I quite fancy the Dragons Back actually ... I have also got a great suntan on many occasions in Wales ... I guess if you go somewhere enough times and all that

cragc, i have a stripey kind of tan and wind tan all year round- i think thats maybe how you can spot an ultra runner..either that or the tan thats actually dirt/dust from the trail

came back from Ridgeway last summer with various marks and tan lines so yes indeed you can get a running tan in uk -but i could achieve a better one in gran canaria lol

nope - definitely tan , but also plenty of rust!

and yes, I have that wind/weather/sun tan from the neck up too We get lots of sun up here, it just ain't that warm

Physio thinks ill be fine for the 100 in June as long as im good, but I'm going to miss a lot of training and probably both my march ultras and maybe my April marathon

WiB

Rest up Touie. The 100 is surely more important so good news you will be back for that. Which races did you have lined up?

I had the new forest 50k on march 10th but have transferred my entry to a friend for that

Cts Sussex ultra on 23rd march, not sure what to do about that yet

And Blackpool marathon on 7th April I'm hoping ill be ok for this, no uneven ground or mud to slide on!
