The start of a very sad day as we have to say our goodbyes to Chris, Manny and the gorgeous little Reilly. We start the day by all going out for breakfast then they drive us to the Airport where there is inevitably lots of tears. Its never easy…

Day 15 starts with the lovely sound of Reilly laughing while eating his breakfast, something we've both missed while on the road. Out of all the amazing sights we have seen on this trip my favourite is Linda's face lighting up when she sets…

Alarm goes off stupidly early this morning at 5-45am as we swapping the car for a coach and cruise trip to Milford Sound. The journey starts from the centre of Queenstown and heads off for 3 hours to Te Anau. Along the way the driver gives us…

The 9th day of our adventure and the half way point already. We are seeing so much but the time is just flying by. Today started with Bob at our accommodation cooking us bacon and eggs and us chatting for ages. A real interesting bloke who greeted…

So today we hit the road and it was sad to say goodbye to Chris, Manni and the gorgeous little Reilly for 9 days but we will be back to see them again next week. Off we go into the city only things didnt quite go to plan with the car. Turns…

So what do you do at 8am in Auckland the day after travelling 25 hours on a plane? Thats right folks, run a Parkrun. We woke up to torrential rain but that didn't put us off and made our way down to Western Springs park in the centre of Auckland.…

Saturday August 5th - 4 am - Horton (Penyghent Cafe) If I can recover from my current calf injury then this saturday i will be re-attempting the 5 peaks challenge. Would love it if some of you would get involved either by sponsoring me or joining…

Its taken 48 weeks but today i finally ran my 2015th Kilometre of the year in my challenge to raise money for the fantastic Pendleside Hospice. After last weeks disappointment of the flood cancelled Lancaster Half I managed to bag myself a last…

This month got off to a great start with the Haweswater half marathon. A tough hilly run and yet again the weather was awful with wind,rain and hail plus a road that had become a river. Despite all that i ran it 10 mins quicker than last year…

The first month of the challenge comes to an end and its been a great start despite the 4 Villages race cancellation. A good half marathon to start and 3 runs a week throughout have seen me take a good chunk out of the 2015km total.

Well what a day. Id been feeling confident lately of a PB and today I was right in the mood for it. It was freezing cold and very windy but I was up for this in a big way. It was a nice flat route and not many runners so easy to find my own…

So the best way to train for a marathon is to get plenty of miles under your belt, definitely do a couple of 20 mile runs and make sure you don't run injured.....Oooops!!! My last run of more than 7 miles was the Keswick Half Marathon at the…
