I could have stopped at Allhallows, but it didn’t seem to be quite all the way. I wanted the sense of reaching somewhere where I could go no further and that place seemed to be the Isle of Grain. It […]
I’m feeling pretty exhausted again, after what was in the end, not a bad day. This is probably because I’m reaching the end of this accumulative journey and it’s probably taking its toll. I’m surprised I’ve got this far with […]
Today continued on familiar territory and on a route I had managed to test beforehand, so I was pretty confident about what lay ahead. I was also well-rested, having spent the night at home in my own bed. As I […]
I’m SO pleased to be back at home for the night- I live in Waterloo, so it seemed crazy not to factor a night at home in all of this, since I live a stone’s throw from the river, and […]
Today was a convenient start as the campsite I was staying at was just across the road. However, I don’t know whether it was the thought of the forecast heat of the day and another relatively long run (18 miles), […]
Feeling pretty exhausted after what turned out to be a 22 mile run! I knew it was going to be close to that so it wasn’t surprising, but the last couple of miles seemed relentless! Overall, it was a good […]
At the end of Day 7 and at 121.87 miles, I’m at the half way point. This time next week and I’ll be done! Amazingly I don’t feel too worse for wear, which is just as well. I do feel […]
Today was another long stretch, which I was feeling a little nervous about, given that the weather was set to be warm again. However, I had had good sleep and breakfast. Having already exprienced a similar distance on day 3, […]
Today’s run was quite mixed. I didn’t sleep too well, due to an evening coffee and muscle twinges in my feet, and woke up to light rain. The latter wasn’t entirely surprising as it had been forecast for the previous […]
Continuing my strategy of uploading images before writing, so there’s something to see.. I was a little concerned before starting today’s run as I woke up with a still niggling pain in my right heel, which was very tender. I […]
I started a new strategy of uploading images first, so that there is something to look at, whilst I’m writing. I’m finding that the later I leave it the more tired and slower I get and the less I remember […]
I have now completed the second of 14 days and still in one piece. Feeling a little stiff and sore, as one would expect, but surprisingly less so, than yesterday. Hopefully, this will continue to be the case, as my […]
I’m writing this having survived the first of fourteen days’ running. Feeling tired and a bit stiff from what turned out to be 17.5 miles, instead of the 16.5 I had planned. An additional unplanned mile is not too bad […]
