minnie's Moroccan mega-marathon

[minestrone]

The morning ritual of trying to get the feet in some way capable of another day running, feet on day 3,

( those toenails all fell off )

[minestrone]

This was the blister, I still had to run 100 miles on that.

Consider it. Honestly. I'm like an expert on it now and the second time through will be easy, I know the events that you are doing and the level of fitness that you need to get through them, MDS is just a mind game, not a fitness event. keep dropping the salt tablets, keep drinking the water and don't think about how sore your feet are.

This was my foot 3 weeks the race when I got the bandages off...

Not good, had my first run last Sunday after I think 4 months doing nothing, 14 miles, 300 meters of climbs. I convinced myself I was OK during it which I probably was not, lungs are gone which was the cold & asthma I think, legs felt good though.

If you free the second week in April 2016 come along.

I will think about it. Interesting thought. But your race report from last time was pretty horrific! You have massive balls of steel Sir!

Nice way of getting a tan. How is training going?

WTheabsoluteF made you do that???

No idea, I just knew it was there and it had to be done.

Last time the course absolutely hammered me, mentally & physically, I want to go back and get the better of it. I got a decent place but I want to get top 100. I think the key is to use spin bikes, get massive quads and plough through the sand. What Cracknell did.

here is the video..

Although it would have been nice to have a thermal physiologist there testing your piss for you.

I think that is a long winded way to say I have signed up again

You're utterly bonkers, but I guess you already know that

Flip me, I'm so glad I'm not fit enough to do that.

It's like hard drugs - You'd feel like an absolute vegetable, and probably think like one, if you didn't run 20 miles one day

I don't think people who lived in caves would test themselves to the limit for fun, they had enough to worry about

WHS

Some caveman would have been looking out watching Minnie running around the desert almost killing himself and then thought to himself. I'm going to invent the wheel.

Then a few years later he looks out to see Minnie hurtling around the desert on his new cart and thinks. **** it, I need to invent the NHS.
