Well its all over now for another 12 months. It was the first time I have followed the event because we had one of our members taking part of course. The party is still to come when Nicky gets back home.
Having read her sobering email after stage 4, the long trek of 82 km through the night, which was graphic in its account of her blister problem, she still manged to complete the next marathon stage and the final 18 km stage 6, all within the regulation time limits.
An amazing triumph of mind over matter.
When I have got over the weeks events we must look forward to Mel's attempt at her first marathon in London.
and Pete is training hard for his Forces March in May.
This Blog was started because Nicky was trying to raise money for a charity whilst having fun running across the Sahara desert. I'm now changing its aim to concentrate on our Junior club events Especially our fun run on Northstreet Moor
