Not perhaps fully related to training for Lakeland50, but I am including this because it was my second big challenge of the year. The cycle should have been 50 miles, same as Lakeland but route changes meant it was 47 miles. I won't go into detail, just to say that it has whetted my appetite for cycling and will be looking out for more cycling challenges. Although I may have to buy a new bike as I think I may just look a little out of place on my ladies tourer of advanced years. I have just got a new pannier system so will set about turning my old faithful into commuter machine extraordinaire. If this works there should now be a photo of us before the event. Gosh how professional we don't look.
I once wanted to be an ultra runner, and in my dreams I still do but reality and dreams are two different things, or are they. As they say on report cards, must try harder. Let's go, life is for living,learning, adventuring and enjoying. Here I will record my journey to if not achieving anything close to a dream at least having fun and improving my fitness along the way.
