Another late night last night after a big day so again apologies for not getting this post up last night. I was feeling much better than the day before and the weather cleared up a bit. Running alongside the beach was stunning with a strong tailwind keeping the pace up. Johnny, my brother-in-law met up […]
We arrived at the train station at 8am to a great welcome from some locals. It gives me a great feeling when this happens. The More FM breakfast radio team came and did a live interview with us which was fun. When off we went, there was 9 of us. We were super lucky […]
