Setting up the challenge

After failing to keep news Years resolutions, and giving up things for lent I have decided to turn things on their head and 'commit' to something instead!

After receiving physio following a hip injury after running my first multi day ultra (84m in 3 days (trail)) I had to drop out of my first 100m race (Thames Path). I have had to transfer to the South Downs Way 100 at the end of June and have entered other build up races before this, and have planned 2/3 events after this.

Anyway to aid my recovery, from my birthday on the 15th March I have committed to running every day, to help me get fit quickly but also to probe to myself that I can 'commit' to something.

My official get outs are as follows:-
*Injury
*Illness
*Day after race, however I shall commit to walking.

Having completed 5 Ironman Triathlons inc my comeback race after a few years lay off in Wales (12hrs 29.55) I am turning my hand the Tail and Ultras during 2012.

Race plan at the moment is
*Neolithic Marathon - May
*Marlborough Downs challenge 33 - May
*South Downs Way 100 - June/ July
*Ridgeway Challenge 84 - Aug
*druids/winter 100 Nov???
