Not a bad worst case scenario then UP :)

I'm doing the same J! Madness....and to add to the brickage, I packed my kit bag last night & it weighs quite a lot...all I've added is my head torch & those blasted emergency running tights to the pack I've been training with!! Perhaps its just me ;)

My pack weighs a ton. Waterproofs, first aid kit, space blanket. I have never carried this much before!

I'll be there waving you all off on Friday evening along with my Maria who is doing the 100

Then come Saturday I'll be in Dalemain to start the 50. Would just like it to be a little more overcast during the day as I rememeber what Maria told me it was like heading up Mardale Head in the heat last year!

Pack weight isn't to bad really. However if it is a hot day I may carry extra water which always makes the damn thing seem twice as heavy.

Have a restful few days everyone and see you in Coniston

I'm sure my pack weighed 6 kilos last year, must get this one packed and see if I've managed to reduce the weight any for this year. Loving the look of the Buff we are all getting with our registration pack. Don't really care much about the T. Shirt and the women's sizes and shape are never right for me.

5 mile test run last night . Not brillliant but i knew this strain or whatever it is will take a long time to heal. Going to hurt from the off . Plan is to to run as conservatively as i can and not lash down the down hills like usual as this jolts it.

Going to be a long hard time in the hills. Still , there is only Olympics on the telly :-)

Lets have some reminders of the fun.
