Had a nice day today for my birthday. Went up to a very nice farm cafe on Dartmoor for breakfast, before driving up to Haytor and having a walk around there with Tigg. And then went back down the hill to Parke for a walk around there. A bit of rain on occasion but we enjoyed it. I’ve been refreshing the Valencia page for info on next year’s race as I don’t know when entries open.

I’ve just seen that for this year’s race they opened entries 11 days after 2023s race and it sold out in February. They had a tiered pricing structure with the first 10000 places being, I think, €10 cheaper. Me being me, I’ve booked a refundable hotel already.

Big G - smart move on the hotel room.
Ian might have booked a hotel too even if he's not going 😉
So you should get a race entry OK.

That's great news WP, you sound like you're ready for a good run.
I'm just heading out for my run, have to wait until 5:30 when the street lights come on for today's route. 💡

7 miles done, bit of a sharp breeze in places but generally good running weather.
Gym later, legs and glutes 😭, not sure they've fully recovered from the last session yet

WP - you'll be fine once you're out there. I take you've successfully despatched OH to Paignton.
10 miles isn't really a long run for marathon runners, although it will be the longest distance I'll be doing for a while.

Talking of long runs, I've just entered a 20 miler in March, that might be my only long run, we'll see 🤣
