LDWA challenge events are one of the best reasons imaginable to become a long distance runner!

Me - 24 miles, 1 flapjack, 1 bottle slimfast. Your run sounds better! Crumble gets my vote every time.

Next one is Cerne Giant 30 and then if that goes OK I am also entered in the Wye Forest 50. Not overflowing with confidence at the moment.
