Apparently I am the perfect height to be a fell runner - 5'5''.
But 5kg over the ideal weight - 9stone as opposed to 8. Mmm...

I decided today...
Getting back to the UK last week after walking the length of the Pyrenees I have been wondering what challenge I could do next that I would think would be worthwhile. I've thought of the Bob Graham for a couple of years now and sometimes wanted to do it and then suddenly thought 'oh no, that's FAR too hard!' Well, today I thought otherwise and if I plan to do it in June 2009 it gives me a good 10 months to get some training in.
I have done a few fell races, including a couple of long ones in the Lakes (Ennerdale and Duddon) and really enjoy them. I do a fair bit of road running too and after losing 5kg walking the Pyrenees I feel the lightest I have for a while - the problem will be keeping the 5kg off!
So, now what I have to do is:
1. Find other like minded people who can pace me and look after me on the route.
2. Find other like minded people to train with.
3. Do it.
