Apr 2010 - London Marathon - Pending ballot acceptance and wife’s acceptance into race (will do both Day/Night and London if she is as I will run at her pace – not belittling her in any way, but she has only done a 5k to date, and she is expecting to take about 5hrs)

Jun 2010 - South Downs Marathon - http://www.blogger.com/www.209events.com

July 2010 - Downland Challenge - http://www.haywardsheathharriers.co.uk/nonMembers/fixtures.asp

Aug/Sept - 2010 - UTMB - http://www.ultratrailmb.com/
or (if unsuccessful in ballot entry)

or (if unsuccessful in that ballot entry)
Aug 2010 - Ridgeway 85 - http://www.tra-uk.org/ridgeway_challenge.php
Sept 2010 - Eagle Isle Ultra - http://www.eagleisleultra.com/

A fair list of races, which if I am lucky (!!) and do the ones I want will total 350 miles (560km), so I had better get training, and will be using shoes from Fitness Footwear of course (See attached banner).

Calf strain starting to improve, although still not ready to push it, so currently cross training, which is frustrating, but keeps me fit.
