North Downs Way 50 2016 - VLOG Special

This weekend was the North Downs Way 50.  Coming 2 weeks after the disaster I call the Thames Path 100, it was always going to be a challenge.  Throw in a chesty cold the week before and we have the recipe for another disaster.

Luckily the ankle held up well enough, the cold only slowed me down and the day itself was quite lovely.  In fact, I even made a little video log:

Ah, fun times.

Made it to the end though, which I'm pleased about. Some serious mental fortitude required to keep going even though I knew it was going to be a very, very long day.  And it was very long - about 10 hours long.

I think I really rocked my Vegan Runners UK kit though:

Made it!

It is indeed better late than never!
