Training in the countryside for my first marathon. My ambition is to complete the Virgin London Marathon in 2012, before my 50th birthday.

Ultra Woman

Jan2620121:10 p.m.

Help! Met up with an old friend of a friend through another friend recently. You know how it goes? Had a chat, made some sweeping statements. Perhaps exaggerated a tiny bit about my running prowess. (It made for polite chitchat - she’ll never know and I’ll never see her again.) Silly me. It transpired that this wonder started running about ten years ago. Long story short? She has gone from ballroom dancer to ultra marathon runner in 0 to 60. Vorsprung durch Technik, if ever I heard it.  And, if that isn’t sufficiently super, she goes to places like Alaska or the Gobi desert to do these mega endurathons. (Meh!) My friend casually suggested we should meet up and run one weekend. (Really, should we, really?) Anyway, people never follow up on that type of invitation.  Aah. Right. She does apparently. It’s a shame I’ve got such a packed diary. Not sure how I’ll fit it in.
