I have always been in awe of Carp's long distance achievements - I really don't know how she does it :-)

I've signed up with a PT :-) for a three month commitment. I do hope it'll turn out to be money well spent.

Thank you all :) I don't do anything special or spectacular. I'm just stubborn and slow.

Well, I did 65 miles when I did it solo and I consider that to be one of the most special, spectacular things I've ever done ;-)

That's true. You're right. 65 miles is absolutely spectacular, therefore so is 70.

I suppose I think, because it's me, it doesn't count the same way it does for everyone else. But that doesn't make sense.
I didn't think before typing and didn't mean to disparage or devalue others achievements.
