My Turn ... Running Down A Dream
-
Haven't updated this thread in a while (forgot about it haha), but I completed my 47th marathon yesterday in Wellington. 3 hours 38 mins. About my standard time these days. Hope to get to 50 by the end of the year.

@African-Monkey here's something to aspire to....
This 46yo Kiwi woman has run an ultra marathon for 512 consecutive days - but why?
Oh yeah, and she’s a full-time criminal defense lawyer.

Haha I've read that, and trust me, there are some people in their 70s and 80s who still run marathons all year round that I see at most events who have done about 300+ haha. I've got a long way to go to get anywhere near them!

My other half did the half.
Which is half more than I would ever do.
Hats off to all you crazy buggers.

Not a bad effort at all. Only 48 more than me.

You should start a thread. I'd certainly contribute, if there's one thing I'm good at its not doing marathons.

I was going to get pissy and say start your on thread, but every notification gives me a reason to re read this thread and bring back the good times.
I injured my ankle so had 6 month out. Back in now, Althoigh I’ve got an extremely tight hammy so currently just on the rower. Joys of being old.
Awesome work @African-Monkey. You should be very proud of yourself.
-
@MajorRage gotta say. I was a bit confused when I saw this thread at the top of the Unread topic list, then I saw @African-Monkey ’s post 🤪
May as well make it a communal thread now!

Yeah I do apologize as you did start the thread. I was going to start a while back, but saw you had the same interest and thought I'll come in and be a dick and blend in and join you.
I do hope you make a full recovery and hope you can make it back on the roads again. You were making some really good progress with your times.
