I’ll be running the Ronda, Spain 101K race the weekend of 12-13 May. It’s an annual race sponsored by the Spanish Foreign Legion. It’s quite an adventure through the mountains around Ronda. A very scenic route (during the day).

Martin Ilott, a veterinary surgeon from Windsor,  has embarked on a 3000 mile solo-run from Los Angeles to New York to raise money for Thames Hospicecare.   If successful, he believes he will be the first British runner to complete the run across America unaided.
