Things aren't looking good for the folk running in this year's MDS. There's been heavy rain in the desert and localised flooding which has caused the start of the race to be delayed by a day and the first stage abandoned. Hopefully the race will now start on Monday as long as the weather improves. Regardless of what happens, there must be many disappointed people out there who have gone to so much effort and expense to get to the start line only to find that they won't be able to complete the full distance. The photo below shows the flooded campsite from where the race was supposed to start.
I went for two runs today. The first being a 9.5 miler this morning and then a 4 mile trot around Hankley this evening. I felt pretty good on both runs and reckon on getting out tomorrow and Monday to add a few more miles to the monthly total which currently stands at 129 miles. The target for March is 140 miles so I should be able to reach that without too much of a problem.
