I am experiencing a wave of relief as I type this. I knew that the 4×4 challenge would be tough on me physically, mentally and emotionally. There was so much packing, logistics, planning and physical effort involved to get it done. My house is a mess with bags half unpacked and new kit without a place to go. My usual habit is over-committing, so I am really looking forward to having no races booked in until February 2019. My first first priority now that I am done is sorting out my house (which will also keep my husband happy) and then focus on strength training. That Boston Qualifier isn’t going to come without some more hard work.
Here is a very brief recap of the races:
Marathon du Medoc, near Bordeaux France
Unofficial time: 6:21:31 (Link to my strava stats here)

257 km over 5 days. Hardest thing I have ever done

NYC Marathon, USA
Official time: 4:49:15 due to 5 bathroom stops and sore legs from mile 20. Also my 4th World Marathon Major.
Race review forthcoming
Hogwarts Running Club Platform 9 3/4 run, benefiting Rods Racing
Bonus virtual race because I have a t-shirt that says “Run like You Know Who is chasing you”.
