Things I Notice When I Am Running. 6. Legs.

Today I ran way way far.

At the end, my thighs felt as though Mike Tyson had punched them.

P.S. My toes were prrretty happy with their new waterproof/ kinda blisterproof socks.

Thank you

I've had a special delivery of support (along with parents!) from the UK...

Thanks to all at All Saint's Church in Wyke Regis, Rev Deb, Gordon, Rosemary and Lisa.

Also from godmother Susanne O'Kelly and Olly's godmother Isobel Scott Clark

And the Eveleigh family.

I couldn't work the internet well enough to put your names in the online sponsor section but I still wanted to have your names on here somewhere!

THANK YOU ALL VERY VERY MUCH.
