Eeek!

I am being sucked into the dark underworld of ultra running....

help me please....

I keep reading race reports/blogs and it is getting me more and more worked up....

I have an ever growing list of races I want to do - some achievable and some not so (more to do with money/time away from wifey)....

The "wish list" so far...

Hardmoor 110 (need to do a qualifying race first)
Hardmoor 55 (does this count for the above does anyone know?)
GUCR
Spine challenger
Spine race
Piece of string
Spartathlon
and of course MdS (despite Binks' blog on it)

strangely they all seem to have the word "brutal" in the race write-ups :-s

What does that say about me?

And I have not even done an ultra yet - so why I am even considering some of these I have no idea - ho hum...

Must not book one till my September ultra is done...
