The race is completed, the medal is yours, the euphoria of the finish line takes over, excitement, hugs, kisses and however painful your feet are you are elated that after all the months of hard training it's over, the moment is yours. Then a couple of days after crossing the finish...

This week has been very productive.  Lots happening with my 2014 adventure, everything slowly moving in the right direction.  Organising such a large challenge involves a huge amount of planning in terms of distances to cover each day, accommodation, where to get water, vehicle support, security support, sponsorship and also...

Happy New Year to you all!  I had a very grown-up NY with friends as all the "children" were off doing their own thing - who in their right minds wants to spend NY with the wrinklies!  I began the year with a lovely run wishing everyone a Happy New...
