Hi everyone. After 14 weeks with a time of 23 hrs and after 35 runs. I have finally totally and utterly smashed the 100 mile mark. I've run nearly 4 marathon lengths and I feel totally and utterly fantastic. If on the 5th of Jan you would have said I would do this in 14 weeks I would have laughed at you but as the picture shows I have done it whoop whoop. Bring on the next 100 now :) to all you new runners if I can do it you can too. Good luck and happy running :) J

Cheers Lou. I see your into week 5 now. There is some good stuff in this week. It also becomes mind over matter from now on too. You can do it keep posting 15 to go and they soon fly past :) J

It's remarkable how the miles start to build up very quickly. At this rate you'll be pushing 400 miles by the end of the year and do you know what that means? It means you'll have worn out your current pair of running shoes! (I'm not kidding).

Bet you never thought you'd do that!

Cheers Rob. I know it does soon clock up. I've already got my eyes on the asics kayano 21's so there is my inspiration :) J

Yes Ju push on and up. I'm looking at fell running as well as we have lots of moors up here. Might be a bit easier on the legs and help build stamina up too. Plus it will bring back old memories too lol. The tiger is urban and going rural too. Thanks for all your inspiration and love your vid blogs too. :) what's your move after the marathon ?:) J
