Final post before I leave for Peru tomorrow. Training is done, body has been checked over, bags are packed and I think I’m ready to go. My last run today an easy 10k with the dogs; Locky my 12 year old lab is really struggling now and huffs and buffs as we run so I have to keep stopping so he can catch up and get his breath. Sadly I think the time has come for him to be walked rather than taking him for a run, a very sad moment.
Running for the last week has been short but fast which I have really enjoyed as well as spending time in the gym doing cross training plus weights.
The Jungle Ultra really is going to be a fantastic experience, I still can’t quite believe that I’m about to head off to one of the most amazing places in the world, how lucky am I? My only sadness is that HWMBO isn’t coming with me; I tell him that I’m doing a recce for a holiday there next year. I’m taking my camera with me and hope to get some great shots. It would be marvellous to get lots of pictures of bugs, ants etc to show my Grandson Theo.
Tonight we have huge party to go celebrating a friends 50th – the theme is “festival” so on goes my maxi dress, Harriets denim jacket and bright jewellery, I might even have to wear wellies as its being held in a field; I only hope they have removed the cows so we don’t tread in cow pats – YUK!
If you would like to follow the race updates you can do so by going to @ultimateUpdates and can send messages via email on [email protected] I am hoping that HWMBO will also update my Twitter but he’s not very good at that sort of thing, but will make sure he has a quick lesson before I leave.
There is also information about the race under News.
I’m very much looking forward to meeting some of the other runners tomorrow at the airport then its up up and away to Peru – SEE YOU WHEN I GET BACK!!
Happy Training.
