Thanks to all who have supported me. It made a real difference to my motivation for training and hauling myself home from work last night on the last leg of the challenge. Thankfully, the wind was behind me; may it so be for you too!

Day 1 done. Lovely morning, cool breeze and lovely views. Made to feel completely inadequate by my dog, who after 9.5 miles saw a squirrel and took off like a rocket and probably ran twice as much as I did today. I don't think he'll be any slower tomorrow when we set off at 9am for the next 10+miles. Thank you for your support, I am overwhelmed by your generosity; it is a real motivator! Only 39.9 miles to go before Tuesday's out.

Thank you for your support with my plan to run 50 miles in 5 days. I have tried to keep a certain level of fitness and regularly run for around half an hour, so I did not expect this challenge to be too tough. But 10 miles (I have rediscovered) takes about 90-95 mins. That's a bit more than I am used to these days. Although I have been running 10 miles lately, the next days' run is hard and I am yet to do more than 17 miles in two days; I need to step up. Your support is really motivational. Thank you! The event begins on 30 April.
