Done it

Yes, my first trail based ultramarathon. 50 miles over the Californian hills, in a cough over 11 hours. Not bad, all things considered. Glad to have finished it, no strains, no injuries, not even much tiredness. Though the ensuing few days were hell - generally down and emotionally drained. All very odd. Often get like that after marathons, but that is a completely different sort of effort. Curious. Met another blogger briefly, assisting at one of the aid stations, the lovely Jessica; http://socalrunnergirl.typepad.com/trail/

And I've finished all the flat buying and moving thing. Lovely place, costing the earth but it's mine. Doesn't even require much work in the form of decorating or whatever, so all the more time for socialising and running.

Happy days!
