camped out at the side of the road. <strong>15</strong>600 miles Barcelona Marathon Mar 2010. Not very scenic for most of the route but a fast flat route. Sue and I decided to stay over for a few days but the day after the race Barcelona had its heaviest snow in 50 years so we had to spend 3 days sheltering in the local hostelries. 18500 miles Coniston Trail Marathon Jul 2011. My nemesis in endurance running has always been calf cramps at about 18-20 miles and I remember this race as the worst occurrence. When I suffer cramp I can usually carry on running by slowing down and not bending the cramped leg at the knee for a few strides until it subsides. With about 3 miles to go I stopped to open a style and both legs cramped up. All I could do was stand in pain for about 2 minutes holding the gate open for other runners to go through before I could carry on. 20000 miles Rome Marathon Mar 2012. Some city marathons start and finish on the outskirts but not Rome. It starts and finishes at the Coliseum and takes in most of the major sightseeing spots. There are a few cobbled sections but is a good overseas marathon to run. (Sue will tell you otherwise). 22000 miles Bolton Hill Marathon Mar 2013. A challenging winter trail marathon that passes to within 3 miles of my house. It would have been rude not to enter it. So I did. And again in 2014. 23000 miles Palma Marathon Oct 2013. Sue and I decided to run this one and stay over for a holiday. We both won our age categories and were rewarded with a hot and sunny week after the race. 24901 miles Darwen Tower Nov 2014. There can't be a better place to mark the occasion. A few mementoes picked up on the way: Good A limited edition print of Greenburn Beck (near the Three Shires Pub) for finishing 3rd in the Great Langdale Marathon. Cans of London Pride Beer in the London Marathon goodie bag. Delicious cheese at the Blacksticks Blue 10k. As much beer as you could drink after finishing Palma Marathon (but it was alcohol free beer). Not so good A mug emblazoned with "Best Golfer in the World" for winning the V50 category at Gloucester Marathon. Not my prize, but I remember the Burnden 10k in 2004 when the Dashing Ladies won the team prize. Sue, Linda and <strong>Jan</strong>ine were presented with a box of house cleaning products. Practical Two chicken breasts, two large potatoes, 1lb of carrots and a cabbage for winning the V50 category at Run The Lanes 10 miler, June 2013.
14200 miles-I was snapped at about mile 23 running the Edinburgh Marathon in 2009 and it made the front cover of Distance Running magazine. And some statistics: Total Miles 24901 Calendar Days 4648 Running Days 2595 average miles per run 9.6 miles Marathons completed 43 average time per marathon 3 hrs 07 mins Half Marathons 37 10 Milers 43 10k's 58 other races 50+ Fell Races 23 Just 3 days after completing my circumnavigation of the earth my right knee decided that was enough.
