Hellrunner
That is what i’ve just signed up for O_o
Basically, it’s a 10-12 mile run through woodland (uphill), marshland (mainly bogs and generally difficult water to run through) and then finally sand dunes. There are a group of us from work that are doing it as a team, and the company might sponser us (basically pay our entry fee’s etc.) which would be awesome.
However, it is in two months, and currently i can barely run 2.5miles without keeling over (although the weather is quite hot at the moment, which doesn’t help). Two months of prep should get me somewhat fit for the run, but i think it is going to be a struggle. Especially seeing as i still suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, albeit far less than I used to).
It should be a good laugh though, and we have a training blog set up here:
http://friday3pm.blogspot.com/ (The name is kind of a work joke, about not having a heart attack after 3pm on a friday because most doctors have gone home for the weekend by then!)
The blog (hosted at BlogSpot) has allowed me to use the nifty new feature on my mobile phone (Sony Ericsson K800i) which allows me to send pictures from my phone straight to the blog with a title and post entry. It resizes the image and everything, and just sends it through GPRS. Very cool feature.

Sounds like a difficult run. My brother ran a marathon a couple of months ago which was surprising - since he doesn’t run a lot and he doesn’t eat healthy at all - though he did pretty good. Although he didn’t run up hills and through marshlands (which sounds like a brutal run :X ). I’m sure you’ll do fine though.
Good luck with your run, Rawry.
