'Guess my Time' Competition for the Hardmoors 55

I had a later meeting at work today so didn't leave Bellahouston until just after 5.30pm. My legs felt really good and I ran the first 3miles comfortably. I pushed the 4th and 5th miles a bit and then eased off for the final two.

I've heard that my first two swimming lessons on Saturday have cancelled which means I can do the 5k Park run on Saturday. Should be good fun. A short sharp race at the end of an easy week.

Katrina is also going to do it. BTW Katrina is running three times a week - Tuesday and Thursday with a running group ay Pro-Life and once at the weekend. I'm encouraging her to have a go at a half marathon but she's not too sure. Watch this space!!

When I first started running ultra races in 2007 I did a competition asking friends and family to guess what time they think I would finish the whw race. It has become a bit of a tradition and I've decided to keep it going. It's a bit of fun and is interesting to see what others think I can do (or can't do!).

So if you want to enter all you have to do is send me what time in hours, minutes and seconds you think I will complete the Hardmoors 55 mile race on Saturday 20th March.

To give you some help ....

1. When I did this section as part of the Hardmoors 110 mile race last September it took me just over 12hrs but I hope to be faster than that!

2. I am going to use it as a hard training run. Last Sunday I ran 42miles in 7hrs 48mins at an average pace of 11.05mins. I'd be very happy to be somewhere near that average pace.

Entries must be in by 6pm Thursday 18th March. There will be a small prize but it's the honour that counts!!
