Kev, Jo and myself pictured at the start of the Exmoor marathon

The 8 o'clock start which was for the ultra runners, and for those who wanted to start the marathon earlier. We started at 9

The run was hard and it took 6 hours, but as you can see the views were amazing. It was an event that will stay with me for the rest of my life. There are videos of the event, I had difficulty down loading them on my blog, but they are on you tube, if you look for exmoor marathon you should find them, or alternatively if you type in alphabetmarathons you should find my channel.

The run today was hard, we ran farther, about 16 miles and faster than I wanted too. It was an enjoyable run though mainly down to Bristol been a great city to run in and having fantastic people to run with. Only two weeks to my E Exmoor marathon on the 16th April, it is going to be a hard run and probably take around 6 hours.

It is starting to get warmer, so I need a shave and a haircut
