Venturing Over to the Dark Side

Today I decided to try something a little different. I did the Eden Runners Haweswater Half Marathon - 13miles and 400metres with not a wheel in sight! No pedals! No let-up whatsoever! I'm honestly not sure if I'll be able to walk tomorrow, I think I'll be on the turbo trainer first thing to check my legs still work.

One thing I would advise if anyone else is thinking of taking part in such escapades - at least make sure your running shoes are not still these-have-just-been-taken-out-of-the-box bright sparkling white. At least run in them more than once before the big event.

At least I got a mug at the end of it all, to show for my achievment. I'd rather have had a big shiny cup to be fair. Maybe next time.
