I didn’t think I would ever run another 100Km race as the time limit in the U.K. races is usually 11 hours so I was pleased to see a 100Km race combined with a 24 hour race in Perth this weekend. There is a 20 hour time limit so I am going to give it a go. Off on the train today for tomorrows race. Looking forward to running a multi lap event with lots of my ultra chums.
More to follow….

Boddington Marathon
Jul 6th, 2010 by SupergirlPam
Had a great weekend in Gloucester, where we ran the Boddington Marathon on the 19th of June.
Unusually I ran the first couple of laps with Gil (we were running 12 laps in total) then met Collette O’ Hagan from Dublin. We jog/walked together and crossed the line in 5-26-53, my best Marathon time since Hastings in December 2008. I was well pleased with that! Still need to ‘up’ the training though. Would b e nice to get closer to 5 hours again. Maybe next year, who knows.
Dartmoor mini holiday
Jul 6th, 2010 by SupergirlPam
Had a great few days with Gil in Devon where he ran his 100th Ultra at the Dartmoor Discovery race, one of his favourites. Met lots of chums there and celebrated with a cake afterwards.
Spent a couple of days with Aunty Vera then home. It was nice to be able to take Poppy with us.
Must start doing some sensible training now as I have entered the 100km race in Perth in September.
Edinburgh Marathon done and dusted
Jul 6th, 2010 by SupergirlPam
Had a great weekend with Elaine Oddie but weather very warm. Got caught out by incorrect forecast for race day and didn’t use suncream. Great start to the race, nice course etc. but slowed due to hot weather and finished together in 6-21-32. Finish area not good, took ages to get our kit and 25 mins walk to bus to get us back to the city centre. Felt o.k. but got badly burned on arms and legs. Must learn a lesson from that!
Edinburgh Marathon
May 15th, 2010 by SupergirlPam
Running Edinburgh Marathon next Sunday for the first time. It will be my 133rd Marathon/Ultra and I shall be running with my friend Elaine.
Flying up (volcano and B.A. strikes permitting) from Gatwick on Friday and back Monday so will have time for a bit of sightseeing. It’s been a few years since I was there so I am really looking forward to it.
Virgin London Marathon
May 15th, 2010 by SupergirlPam
Slowest ever run but great fun. Was delayed by ‘Ladderman’ my chum who was helping me raise money by carrying a ladder! He kept stopping to entertain the crowds by climbing up the ladder. I thought we would never got round but we crossed the line in 7-41-09. Elaine Oddie, also carrying a bucket finished ahead of us and, between us we collected over £800 for Advance International Ministries so it was well worth the effort.

CRAWLEY A.I.M. TRACK 12 HOUR RACE & TRACK MARATHON
10 April 2010
Track 12 Hour
Eighteen athletes, including five females were set off at 7am by Race Director Pam Storey, in perfect conditions for distance running, at the K2 Leisure Centre, Crawley.
These would be joined 3 hours later by twenty four males running a Track Marathon.
George Dayantis, set off at a fast pace, which initially seemed a little too fast, but he never relinquished the lead on route to a clear victory and broke the course record by some eight miles with 88.15 miles (141.87km).
Richard Quennell a winner at last years London Tooting Bec 24 hour race, was runner up with 83.58 miles(134.51km). He will shortly be off to the World 24 Hour Championships in Brive France, to make his debut in a GBR vest.
First woman was Angie Sadler with 72.03 miles (115.92km), who had no real competition after Sharon Gayter pulled out after 5 hours.

Running Again
Mar 23rd, 2010 by SupergirlPam
With very little training I managed to complete the Cotswold Marathon on Sunday in a slow time of 6-02.
Was glad to meet a friend near the start and we went round all the way together otherwise I would have been alone all the way.
Off to Athens on Thursday to watch/ support runners in a 1000 mile race due to finish at the end of the month.
Gil, as usual, will be home alone (his choice).
