Todays training run: Caught bus to Ifracombe (boo-hoo - had to pay £3.60 as was before 0930 when free rides for oldies kicks in!) then ran to Lynmouth. Quite strenuous but very scenic - especially around Heddon's Mouth. Including diversions and jog home from bus station(!) about 21 hilly miles ... note photo showing rather apt hoarding in Lynmouth! (Taken with my £19 Medion Camera from Sainsburys.)

Donations still coming in - now at £926 - 31% of target! Grateful thanks to all on behalf of Cancer Research UK - please remember - this challenge is not about me but is about trying to eradicate 'the Big C'.

Fund Raising Promotion

Just few walks today to rest (?) before long day tomorrow. Got 2nd pair of Nike Redrock trail shoes, shorts and T-shirt at Apex Sports - they also agreed to post the promotional posters in the shop; Also spent much time promoting Cancer Research UK - including the Cancer Research Shop, the main Library, the Leisure Centre and Devon Outdoor Co Ltd - who had discounted the tent earlier. Deal of the day was with Sainsburys - gave me a gift voucher to cover cost of a box of 24 Energy Gels as well as agreeing to advertise the run. Bought 5 T-shirts and DIY printing etc. (still waiting for promised promotional material from Cancer Research UK fundraising people.)Many people had seen the article in local paper.

Following on from a 3 hours training run yesterday, ran for 6 hours today plus 45 minute breaks en route, going on the coast path from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe. (about 28 miles with first 10 being flat) ... Bus pass very useful to get back home! Carried 2 litres of water but needed to re-fill at Lee bay. MP3 player useful for the initial boring bit araound Braunton.
