MIKAYLA ASKS THE QUESTION:

"ARE YOU, A MAN, CONDEMNED TO LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE ALONE, LOOKING INTO A LAPTOP OR SMARTPHONE SCREEN AT PICTURES OF GIRLS LIKE ME, HAVING FORGOTTEN AS MUCH AS THE SCENT OF A WOMAN'S SKIN, THE SOFTNESS OF HER TOUCH & THE IRREFUTABILITY OF HER LOVE FOR YOU?"

Wonderful to catch up with the other @wmn.run100 ladies running #cphmarathon tomorrow! Amazed to learn that some are running their first marathon - and are looking forward to stepping up to 100 👊💥🏆. First Copenhagen! #running #ultrasooncome #marathon #ultrababes

Pre-race thoughts

Has July ever come around quickly!?! It turns out that I'm running 100km really soon. Tomorrow, in fact, uh-huh.

I feel ready - as ready as I'm going to be, anyway. Since running 50k a month ago I have had this mental itch to just get it over with. Not that I want it to just happen and go away, but rather I really want to just run this thing, now, experience what this crazy super-run is going to feel like!

Before signing up for this I knew I wanted to run an ultra at some point in my life. I didn't realise it was going to be now. But given the opportunity to be part of a team of super cool ladies, to share the training and the mental journey (oh yes it has been) of getting to a place where I can face 100km with very little fear, having the support of The North Face to provide special ultra-kit I didn't know existed... It had to be now.

My kit bag isn't really a bag, it's numerous piles of clothes and food and hairbands and plasters on the bed. That part sure isn't ready yet. But you know what. Even with 28 degrees and thunderstorms forecast, I know I'm going to have an amazing time with the #ultrababes team doing something we all love. Just running. And I sure am ready for that.

Can't wait to do this!
