Congratulations on a well deserved MoTM win. My question is if money and time were no object what route or race would you want to do?
Hills of Death (HOD) says: Pedro top question sooooo many I guess having done enough marathons I'd love to qualify for Boston Marathon one day.

I don't mind hilly races now and then Snowdon, Connemara but the hardest I've done was a fell race in Mortimer Forest HILL race took me 2 hours to do 10 miles. Would I do another of course 😄

Congrats, well deserved. Cant remember if you have any tattoos...? If you could design the perfect running tattoo for you what would it be and why?
Hills of Death (HOD) says: Thanks mate haven't seen you since we past each other 21 times running in the wrong direction PMSL. I think I would have one running to heaven with God saying well done my son. As running 'sometimes' feels heavenily but unlike you I don't think I'm going to get there

Angus Clydesdale asks:
Cool, congratulations. What was your favourite race and why?
Hills of Death (HOD) says: Cheers AC I think my favourite race (apart from VLM
) was the Disney Marathon really surreal experience started at 0500 and dark got lighter and sunnier. A man singing the love boat at halfway, Toy soliders shooting at you mile 23 for walking and going through loads of countries at the end. Great experience. 
RunningRonnie asks:

Hills of Death (HOD) says: Because they all flooooooooat down here.
