Day 14 – Congratulations Andy! You made it – and I can’t believe a whole year has passed. An amazing journey indeed. This morning we also finished our own 14 day ‘giving-it-a-go-how-hard-can-it-be’ effort. It was warm, with a warm wind and not bright and cool and clear, the type of mornings which make it easier.

Day 13 – Ok so you need the truth – well the truth is that after the run yesterday, and after a lovely lunch of fish and chips and a celebratory beer (for him), and wine (for me) – we were both soooo tired! Well, we had been up at 4.45am as well as doing [...]

Day12 – Imagine this – 6am in a lovely park, underneath the northern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. the sun just up, the day warm, a large cruise liner coming down into the harbour, and looking at the Sydney Opera House on the other side of the water. This is indeed a magic town. [...]

Day 11 – Lovely early start to the day for a weekend – but it was bright and clear, and actually, quite nice to get out and just put down the miles. The past few days I have had the inkling, and only an inkling, of what Andy has been going through, with good days [...]

Day 10 – And David wants to know what we will do when we finish our morning runs next week? Good grief, he runs for 10 days solid, finds it a doddle, and is asking what is next. Hmmm, let’s just wait and see how he feels after Sunday’s half marathon…(This morning all he was [...]

Day 9 – and I have a warning to all the brave incoming 1095 runners. Watch your step. Or steps. Particularly in the dark. Danger lurks. Dog poo. It is smelly and it is sticky, and you always see it too late. Other lessons learned to date – you get hungry, you drink a lot [...]

Day 8 – …and that was a surprise! We did not do any more, that would have been daft, but we felt we could have. I was taken out for a lovely lunch yesterday, and while not overly indulgent, I did wonder if there would be any effect on this morning’s run. Nope, no effect [...]

Day 7 – Already we are one week down, and have completed a whole seven days of running every day, something neither David or myself have done before. And we are ok! Better than ok actually, David said he felt really good today, and certainly I was better than expected. This morning’s run was another [...]

Day 6 – The conversation continued with my legs this morning, they answered -fortunately – and got on with the job. We had a lovely run this morning, it was bright and clear and cool and breezy. After resting quite a bit yesterday, our slightly tight calf muscles were all ok today, and any other [...]

Day 5 – Sunday run today and so we drive a short way to the Bay Run, a lovely local 7km flat track around the bay in Drummoyne. The Bay Run is so popular that it seems as busy as Piccadilly some days – and there are areas that have shared cyclist and run paths, [...]
