Today's the day I'm committing to doing this challenge. 

It's three months to go and my training is going well. Various long distance hilly, slow and steady  jaunts in the bag. The knee is holding up. Back-to-backs and triple back-to-backs planned.  190 miles ticked off in February.  

Quite frankly, up until now, there was always a grey doubt-cloud hanging over me with my knee. I can't believe how far I've come, both in distance and confidence,  from only a few months ago. 

A few days in Scotland on the Applecross Peninsula. 18 miles over the pass in the rain, making new friends with the animals....

...to be rewarded with a lovely view of Skye as the rain clears and the run ends. 

This is why I do it. 


Another 26 miles back near home, running down memory lane as I do a loop around the Washburn Valley, up and along the Chevin, down to Menston (where I grew up) along the moors to Ilkley, and back to Timble.  

Sunshine at last. The cloud has lifted.

It's on!
