If you read my first blog post you'd see that I didn't run before 2016. So here is where my tracking began, and then of course as above my first ultramarathon was in August of 2016 at the age of 36. I have loved the pursuit of ultra trail running ever since. I started this bucket list in my head after my first couple of 100 milers, but have written it down since about 2019, which now exists here on my blog.
Below is a list of my future to do runs, in the order of month of
