I’m running 100km tomorrow

Post by leejonesjnr »

Like Conor Benn when he sees an official with a drug testing kit, I’m running 100km tomorrow to raise funds for a few charities that I support.

Depending on pace it will be somewhere between 10’000 and 14’000 calories.
It can’t all be Huel so I also have Kendal Mint Cake with me.

If anyone feels generous please donate a few pennies here: https://gofund.me/387f53ef

Just sat waiting for the train to London now.

Do you mean 100km? It's not that impressive, I've gone to London on the train a few times.

Thankyou so much to those of you who donated.
For those of you who didn’t, well, I hope you die in a fire.

00:45 - Arrive at an Air B&B. What a terrifying experience.

05:00 - Wake up and walk to Bishops Park.

07:30 - Start time.

5km - Blimey I’ve done that a bit too fast, better slow down so I don’t blow up.

10km - Did that 5km faster, what a moron.

14km - run past two tiny first aiders trying to carry an even tinier older lady suffering from the heat.

14km and 10 steps - Say ‘god dammit’ out loud and turn around to help. Carry the tiny woman 2.5km to the first rest stop.

18km - A yoot on an electric bike hits me, I stumble awkwardly and really hurt the knee that I’ve been nursing for months.

18-100km - Limp, mumble and cry every time I put weight on my left foot. Occasionally use bad words as I climb and descend stairs and bridges.

100km - Woman On Finish Line ‘oh dear, have you hurt your leg?’ Me ‘no I’m in a gang’.

:salut:
Well done.
I have donated out of guilt as I was the yoot on the electric bike.

Nah, one of your causes is close to my heart and doing any form of physical excercise in that heat deserves recognition.
