The Lakeland 100… Dad Have You Gone Mad?
Friday, May 8th, 2009Over the next few weeks I will be sharing more information about the Lakeland 100, What it is where it is, when it is, how I plan to train for it, how the training is going, what equipment is required, and finally how I get on, but before that… A short scene from the kitchen table when I broke the news of my race entry at breakfast the following day.
“The Lakeland 100! What’s that”? Angela my wife asked,
It’s a 100-mile race in the Lake District.
“What possessed you to do that”? Vicky, my daughter chipped in.
“Dad have you gone mad”? Tom, my son volunteered.
Angela said nothing and just looked out of the window.
They don’t understand. Why would anyone want to run 100 miles in one go? Why would anyone get up at 6am day in day out to go running? Sometimes in the dark, sometimes in the rain or worse, then in the evening, come home and do the same again? Is this absolute madness?
