I rumbled up to a 6 mile race today and only knew about half a dozen folk, i go to an ultra race and get hugs from about 90% of the field. I ultras!

Womens fat stores mean we should be better ultra runners than you blokes. I love my training probably more than the races. I've seen so many stunning places that give me goosebumps and a tear to the eye a few times.

And I love how by knowing some great ultra folk, I still get to live vicariously, and get to see some of the amazing Scottish countryside when I'm lucky enough to be able to join them on a (non-ultra!) run (or see the photos).
