Steve, Mark (aka Dave), Steve and Andy at the start of marathon 5 |
They have just hit the 10 mile mrk at 12.40 and as expected the going is hellish today. Significant hills to climb going up into the Howgills with dreadful rain and low lying cloud. It's not going to get any easier and today will undoubtedly bring the toughest conditions of the whole challenge.
Andy is struggling with his ankles and Steve's leg has just gone into spasm, so its time to take a break and get some support on it.

Steve pulls on his control pants. One must always look one's best when running. |
On a more positive note, thats 114 miles under their belt and 63% of the run complete so almost two thirds of the way home.
Due to the fantastic faith in Steve and Andy through advance pledges, donations have dried up this week. If you are aware of anyone who would like to contribute please do ask them to get involved....every little helps!
Also, social media links, updates and comments are generating some good traffic back to the Blog so if you can post a link on Facebook, Linked-in or Twitter, please do so as it may just help unearth one extra donation.
Thanks for reading, end of day update later.
