I actually did it! Yesterday, despite the 25oC heat and blazing sunshine, I ran 52.4 miles around the beautiful Kent countryside and I am absolutely over the moon to have joined the ranks of those crazy enough to run ultra marathons!
I'm going to write a full report about the event, but for now, I can tell you that I finished in 10 hours 41 minutes, it was the most painful thing I have ever done, but I had the most brilliant day. Today, I am aching more than I thought possible, but I am incredibly happy and all the pain is definitely worth it!

...I am so pleased for you Naomi, I know you have done so much preparation for this and you deserve every congratulation. You have now joined a very elite number of people and you will be amazed to hear that only 0.0000001% of Britons will have done what you have done.
ReplyDeleteNow please rest up for at least 2 weeks, don't even think about running, your body needs to repair and replenish.
