Outdoors

The importance of this picture is not the picture itself, but where I was when I took it. I was miles from home and in the middle of a long run which had turned into a shuffle! I made it up to Bray but not to Dorney Lake; only as far as Monkey Island Hotel.

I am training for my first ultramarathon in October but I am going to have difficulty in meeting the timing checkpoints.

To help me this week, I started reading a book about a famous ultramarathon runner, from Minnesota, called Eat and Run (the book not the runner). I was in his hometown on my holiday and it seemed a good time to learn more.
