Race 57, August 2017 100 Mile Challenge

My August 2017,100 mile challenge done and dusted. This was my milestone 40th birthday month, so a lot of the running revolved around this. I also ran the 3 races for the 401 Festival of running – 5km, 10km and Half Marathon back to back this weekend. As I write in most of my posts, running really is one of the most important things in my life and I am so grateful for that. I found this image the other day and it speaks to me:

My 100 miles done this week and here are the stats:

Yesterday was my 40th Birthday and I spent it with my lovely family. The day was filled with wishes, cards, flowers and great food. I want to share that experience here:

Feeling so blessed, humbled and grateful for running and family. I started my Fortyby40 blog and runs to race 40 races by the time I turn 40. I’m 40 now and on race 57. Feels great! Here’s hoping to many many more runs and races in the next 40 years.
