Story
Well after 216 miles not quite in the direction I intended, I finally finished the run at about 2.40 on Saturday 21st May at Sammy’s bar Teddington.
So nearly 8 ½ Marathons in 7 days!
I actually had to stagger the last 20 miles as my left knee decided for some unknown reason not to work..Along with my Back, Achilles , leg muscles etc etc.
Over all it was an interesting experience where it becam apparent my sense of direction is not what it used to be and my ability to read a map was also sadly lacking.
Day one was hard because I got lost after 24 miles and instead of 31 did over 37. Day 3 followed a similar pattern as did Day 6!
On the plus side I had some great support and encouragement from friends and family and in particular Gitte who organised a fantastic homecoming at Sammy’s in Teddington with over 100 people to cheer me in.
Thanks to everyone who came along and made it a great day (and thanks to Andy Shaw of Wisetiger who kept me company the last days)
Overall it was a great experience (not fun I might add) but in hindsight I really should of learnt how to read directions properly
So far we’ve raised over £6000 (over £7000 with Gift Aid) but there is still a lot of time to donate and try and get it nearer to the £10k mark..
I don’t think there will be a Thunderrun3 more likely a Thundernap or something similar
Thanks again
