Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads: September 2014
http://delsalt.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads. Tuesday, 23 September 2014. Last Sunday, I had the most superb time at the Blitz Duathlon. The weather was absolutely beautiful with one of the most awesome blue sky days, and I spent time with some good friends whilst competing in a sport that I really hadn't got a clue about. A day with good friends at the Blitz Duathlon. And so long as my choice of clothing doesn't rub. With Glady prior to the race (he finished 5 mins ahead of me). Which brings me to the run...

Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads: December 2014
http://delsalt.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads. Tuesday, 30 December 2014. A Year of Adventure and Making Lots of New Friends :-). So as we come to the end of yet another year, for some of us it's time to reflect on the past 12 months and all the adventures we've had. Del and Kim in Red Deer. Winning the Red Deer Marathon back in May on a cool and rainy day, and celebrating with good friend Kim, who won the half on the same day - not bad for 2 ultra runners! Banff to Jasper Relay. The Kananaskis Triple - 3 c...

Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads: February 2015
http://delsalt.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads. Monday, 23 February 2015. But it isn't just dogs that have stolen my heart in recent years - we had 3 cats at one point, all with their own unique personalities, and we still have Khayman who keeps us awake at night either meowing for attention or purring very loudly whilst sleeping contentedly on our pillow. We've also had 2 rabbits, both of which came into our lives by pure accident. Snuggles with a young Wilson :-). Wilson enjoys life in the rabbit hutch!

Diary of an Ultra Runner. Year by year ranking. Friday, 10 January 2014. First post of 2014. Well here I go again . Unfortunately I'm not going to do the traditional thing and write about my running in the previous year. I wish I could but in reality it would be just a single sentence . hardly any running and no races. Obviously slowly and gently at first. Long runs will be 12.5 to 13.75 km . hill reps will be 2 . tempo runs will be less than 4 km. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 50 km . 4h 25:35.

Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads: St Paddy's Day 10k
http://delsalt.blogspot.com/2015/03/st-paddys-day-10k.html
Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads. Monday, 16 March 2015. St Paddy's Day 10k. Training this past few weeks has been going extremely well which has been a great help in building confidence ready for the London Marathon in just under 6 weeks time. I've been doing plenty of faster paced runs and generally hitting my target time, and now that the longer runs of 30km have started to kick in, I'm hoping that everything clicks when I toe that start line on Blackheath Common on April 26th. 1st Lady - Da...

Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads: October 2014
http://delsalt.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads. Sunday, 5 October 2014. An Ouchy River Park Cross Country! I went to bed that night already noticing muscles that I knew I had but had been hidden away due to my "lazy runner" approach to things, but despite the inevitable muscle soreness that I would no doubt face in the morning, it felt good that I had pushed myself beyond what I thought my body could do. Friends at the River Park Classic Cross Country Race. The cross country really didn't take that much out ...

Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads: A Trip Down Memory Lane - The London Marathon
http://delsalt.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-trip-down-memory-lane-london-marathon.html
Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads. Thursday, 7 May 2015. A Trip Down Memory Lane - The London Marathon. It was a little strange landing at Heathrow Airport on the Friday morning. I expected to feel a sense of belonging and yet despite things being very familiar to me, it also felt foreign and unusual - a far cry from home. With staying in Greenwich, we were only about a mile from the start up on Blackheath Common so after breakfast, we made our way through the back streets towards Maze Hill wher...

Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads: Pushing the Boundaries
http://delsalt.blogspot.com/2015/06/pushing-boundaries.html
Tales of Trails, Mountains and Rocky Roads. Sunday, 7 June 2015. Since my marathons have been completed, my focus has now turned to my next main goal - The Transrockies Run - 6 days of running over 120 miles with 20,000 feet of elevation gain in the mountains of Colorado - which means lots of trail running and lots of climbing over the coming weeks. Fun with Wilson and Brandy at Nose Hill. Mary Barclays - Photo Credit Joanna Ford. Summit of Mary Barclays - Still wobbly legged! I actually took my GoPro wi...
