Ben Day5 - Garmin
Good evening sports fans.. another day in paradise down here in Bristol today - very mild and balmy, a lovely ochre sun late this afternoon - great for getting out into the woods and scampering about on the trails before getting kids from school/nursery... must be getting fitter - the little tree benchmarks I use to judge how I'm doing are getting further and further apart on the hillside! ie I run further before being forced to stop and cough a lung up!
Must say I'm hugely impressed with you folks - I wasn't expecting to feel envy, but when Charles posted he had 299 days left to go, I did have twinge of regret at so readily agreeing to start over! - however that has now passed and I know I can hold my head high amongst this esteemed bunch of runners, knowing that I've made the right choice!
In passing I note that the (Belmont) estate on the left hand side of the road that borders the woods I ran around today has now been sold sadly - 220acres and 9 bedrooms - an absolute snip at £2.5 million... I'm a bit cheesed off, I was hoping they'd end up having to parcel off bits of the woodland/estate to sell it - I had my eye on 10 acres of my own woods (just next to where I ran today) - it would have been heaven to have this on our doorstep with the kids and everything, but it looks like it wasn't meant to be... will keep looking!
I share your despair when I read TC's posts about how much he is ahead of us. You shouldn't be disheartened Ben cos I think we would all agree that we share your pain of starting over. I've just done day 67 and although each day brings its highs and lows I want to continue on well beyond the 365 if I stay healthy. I forgot how much I enjoy running
