Day 10 baby!!! I love the fact that loads of people have got behind this “Day 10 baby” saying. It was something I said in one of my daily videos with Gary a few days ago and my 14 year old daughter texted me and said don’t ever say that again, it’s cringy…so of courseContinue reading “Day 10. 10in10 blog”

Day 9 baby Feel like I absolutely smashed it out there today and I think my body agrees with me. The adrenalin of my family arriving ready to cheer me on round the course saw me flying down to Newby Bridge, and despite the indescribable pain in my left ankle/foot and right quad (I didn’tContinue reading “Day 9. 10in10 blog”

Today has been a tough day for everyone. Unfortunately, one of our team has had to retire, which is the right thing for him, but always a hard and brave decision.My left ankle has become a ‘cankle’ and is currently twice the size of the right foot/ankle. Swelling of the feet is common in thisContinue reading “Day 8. 10in10 blog”

Today I am running in memory of Lavinia Johnstone for Dianne Cameron. Lavinia was Dianne’s mum who was born in 1921 and would have been 100 this year.

Day 7 baby What a day! I have had an absolute ball. I know that this event is totally bonkers, but it went to new heights today. I have effectively run around the lake in what can best be described as a bin bag in the absolute pouring rain with head winds and standing waterContinue reading “Day 7. 10in10 blog”

Today it is my absolute privilege to run for Rich Rex. He is a veteran 10in10 runner having completed the event 3 times. He also took part in 2019. On day 7 in 2019 he had to admit defeat and get in the car with a back injury. He did not complete his 10in10 thatContinue reading “Day 7. Hearts for Brathay”

Day 6 baby!! Today was a good day. It was not an easy day and certainly was not pain free, in fact the pain in my left leg was so much worse today that I asked various members of the support crew if they would cut it off at different points along the course, butContinue reading “Day 6. 10in10 blog”

It’s safe to say that today held a few challenges. The biggest of these is the sheer amount of pain I am in when I run just now. My achilles is healing, but my feet and legs have now run 131 miles in 5 days…something they have never done before and hope never to doContinue reading “Day 5. 10in10 blog”
