Gym this mornin, yawn. After getting a good soaking yesterday I wimped out and ran in the gym on the treadmill.
I ran 10k and felt really good don't know weather that's a result of running off road yesterday or not but last week I ran 16 miles on road on the Sunday then 7miles on Monday before work was a struggle.

Been out this morning and ran 14 miles round the Brownmoor wood at Ecclefechan, in the rain.
Was really muddy and more than once questioned my sanity, why was I running up this wet muddy hill when I could just as easy be lying in my nice warm bed.
On the plus side its far more enjoyable than running on the road in the rain and my new trainers are ace, thanks and free plug to all at Chivers Sports.

Hullo, I'm Neil and I'm gonna run the wall, all though you'll notice the question mark in my blogger name just in case I don't make it.
I'm a bit of an amateur having started running in 2011 doing the Cumbrian run half marathon, I then got into trail running doing the cross bay half marathon and the Karrimor great trail challenge marathon.
Since then I've been running the Lakeland trails series in the challenge events rather than the races.
Any way seeing as I survived marathon distance I'm gonna give this RatRace organised event a go (entered the 2 day challenge) running 33 miles on day one and 36 on day two.
At the mo I mix my training running on and off road with some gym work, usually a big run at the weekend hopefully increasing the mile age as I train.
Now the "big run" is up to 16 miles so that's the first half of the first day sorted, long way to go yet!
If any one does read this and you have any tips about running my first ultra or you know any one that does please let me know!
Cheers.
