Six months on...

I've been prompted to blog again, I can't believe it's so long since I did last time. I had a big downer March/April time and had to concede that trying to train for three sports to take part in triathlon was just crazy so now i am just run(walking) and am really enjoying it. I have three half marathons coming up over six weeks, Bristol 11th September, Coventry 2nd October and Birmingham 23rd October, all i aid of theAlzheimers Society in memory of my lovely Dad. This may not seem like ultra running to some, but for someone with CFS/M.E. it is! I have also entered the Brighton Marathon next April and hope to do an ultra sometime after that, M.E. permitting. I tend to get better over summer and suffer in winter so we'll see how it goes. This week has been good, I did half marathon distance on Monday in 2:35 and 8km yesterday in 56 minutes so I am pleased with that. Today I am paying the price and am laid on the settee, which is how I am messing about on the laptop today! A cuople of years ago I decided to do somethng to keep my brain active and did a part-time course in web design. I am working on two at the moment, www.cfsrecoveryguide.co.uk and www.ultrarunningali.com. they aren't live yet but check back soon! I have my own hosting for as many sites as I want so I have already done a few so far, just for fun. I like to have something to focus on when my body says 'no way are you running today'!!
