Now that is a long run...The continuing adventires of Hunny Monster

--amadeus-- · 2010-04-30 22:10:55

You all know that HM is the Duracell bunny of runners (2 marathons this coming weekend for example). Well it turns out that she’s not just doing it for the good of her health. She’s got a master plan. And this time it doesn’t involve a fire-fighter’s outfit… No this time she’s decided that running against other runners is…

Total left I don't know - we navigate from town to town so were working in tiny nibbles

as for the lift from the schol it's huge and meant so much. Another random stat we now have somewhere over 60 independent witness statements so a big thanks to those guys too!

Managed to meet up with Jo this evening, 6.3miles from Kanturk towards Millstreet with Colblimp. In total awe of Jo to be honest, she is looking fantastic and powering away. Impossible to comprehend just how far she has gone. RESPECT!!!

And the crew are also flippin fantastic, keeping it all together. Well done guys, nearly there!!!

Ran with HM yesterday evening approx 10M from near Killoscully north of Newport to past Murroe when she stopped at 9.22pm. Baza1976 was already running with them when BB and I met her and all the support crew. She was in good form

I ran a total of 11 miles yesterday with HM, then 5 back home:eek: lol. She was in great form. As Red was saying we felt like the proudest of body gaurds.

Great to meet such gents as Zuppy, Red, and BB. It's true what they say the longer the distance the nicer the people.

I won't be able to run for 6-8 weeks and what a better way to finish off then to be part of something very special. Pleasure

If you can get out tomorrows leg do. It will be one of the proudest runs you'll do.
