On Sunday we ran the furthest weโve run in a very long timeโฆ 50 miles from Bridgend to Cardiff.โฃ
โฃ
It was tough.โฃ
โฃ
A beautifully sunny day, running along the coastline for almost the entire route. Sounds idyllicโฆ except most of the time I just wanted to launch myself off the cliffs into the glittering sea. ๐โฃ
โฃ
The first 15 miles were on soft sand, the sun barely let up all day, and we somehow survived on full-fat Coke, gels and Chipsticks because the thought of eating a hot, stale sandwich in that heat was absolutely grim.โฃ
โฃ
I genuinely thought Iโd be fine to coach that evening. I was very wrong. ๐
Thank you to everyone for being so understanding when I had to cancel. Lesson learnedโฆ if I ever decide to run this far again (no immediate plans! ๐), Iโll be booking the whole day off, not just the morning.โฃ
โฃ
It definitely wasnโt my favourite ultra, but Iโm so grateful to have spent a whole day exploring such a beautiful stretch of the Welsh coastline. The Welsh people were incredible too, cheering us on all day, and seeing my sister pop up at mile 27 gave me such a boost. ๐โฃ
โฃ
Sometimes the hardest adventures end up giving you the best memories.โฃ
โฃ
Anywayโฆ here are a few photos. ๐โฃ
โฃ
And thank you, Will. โค๏ธ This was actually my anniversary presentโฆ but this year, I think Iโll just take a nice card. ๐
