Rather Gutted...
Sorry not to have updated for ages... I have been rather gutted! Last weekend should have been the Beacons Ultra- 46 miles round the rolling hills of the Brecon Beacons, and meeting up with fellow MdS nutters. And I wasn't there...
All due to the fact that I succumbed to the dreaded lurgy going around our office the week before... with juts days to go I was throwing lemsips down my neck, in a vain attempt to ward off a nasty cold and sore throat. But by Thursday it had developed to a wracking cough that was, er, let's just say 'productive' (in case anyone's trying to eat tea!) and felt so lousy it was obvious that even contemplating running 46 miles around soggy Wales was not going to be the greatest idea in the world. I couldn't even contemplate the drive down!
The way I felt when I woke up on Saturday it was the right decision. I wouldn't have been up for it and may have developed double pneumonia if I'd tried! I'm feeling much better now but still got a cough.
Really gutted as this is usually a great weekend :-(
Ah well, to compensate for a Beacons Ultra Race Report, here are a few Autum pics from my walk/ run the weekend before...
