Thank you for visiting my blog. I have secretely been writing this blog for the past months (or rather, in November and then the last week). I thought is was about time for me to start promote it a bit, and hence many of you got an email this morning.
The blog is about the steps I take to run a ultramarathon on the 7 April. For those of you who dont know what an ultramarathon is I include a definition: "An ultramarathon is any organized footrace extending beyond the standard marathon running distance of 42 kilometers, 195 meters (26 miles, 385 yards). Ultra races typically begin at 50 kilometers and can extend to enormous distances. There is no limit. " (quote taken from http://www.ultrunr.com/what_is.html by David Blaikie).
The run I am doing is 77,805 meters longer then a marathon, ie I am going to run 120km, and did I mention that it will be through the Namiban desert *smile*. The heat in the day will be about 35 degrees Celsius and at night time about -5.
On the blog you can read about some of the races I have done leading up to the race in Namibia. The next race on my schedule is on the 2 March, when I am doing Vasaloppet (90km cross country ski race in Northern Sweden).
Once again, thank you for visiting the site, and I would be delighted if any of you would help me to raise some money for the Facing Africa charity (for more information about Facing Africa, click on http://www.facingafrica.org)./ Any help is grately appreciated!
