The cycle takes the longer scenic route around the coast I think.

Hope spirits are still going strong and nobody's resorted to tampering with the lucozade

This thread has been cleaned up and off topic posts moved to a new thread. Please stay on topic from now on, there wont be a second warning.


I have been in somewhat dragged into the world of Ultrarunning since this forum started. I dont understand it, I'm a sprinter, I sprinted 100m for Ireland and even then I preferred the 60m indoors. My friend ran the 1500 and I thought THAT was nuts.

I was lying in bed last night thinking about all the stuff going on and something donottopofthepopchopshop wrote to me really hit home. Through all of this there is a woman out there somewhere in the dark.... running.

I dont give too monkeys about records, times or egos. I'm here to cheer for Jo. For what she's doing and the charitable benefit that will come from it. I dont know her, never met her (I think!) but I'm proud of her and quite proud to have Boards associated with this.

So, I'm cheering for Jo. Not for records, not for egos, not for genders, not for politics.

I'm cheering for the woman who ran through the night.

GO! JO! GO!

borderlinemeath

Been following this on here and the news and it's unbelievable what Jo is capable of!
I can barely run 100metres but the effort gone into this is inspirational.

KEEP IT UP JO, BEST OF LUCK WITH THE HOME STRETCH!!:)

Dont forget the lap of honour and the 2 days warm down run afterwards. Body will probably go into shock if you suddenly stopped running.

Fair play to you, tremendous!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

if theres one thing Portal has thought me, its that often, virtual cake is a lie.

HAHA, I was going to say that but didnt think anyone would get it. Great song at the end of it.

Have been following this thread & your blog all the way, very inspiring. You've done a great thing for The Carer's Association.

DeVore

But but but.... if you watch the credits... there IS a cake.

Ok, wow... how off topic did that go. So back to HunnyMonster... (does she like cake? STOP IT TOM!!!)

I'm sitting in Malta following this... its fascinating, cant wait to here from the lady herself but I think she might need a bit of a rest.

DeV.

folan

A bit of a rest? I think this deserves the rest of the year off!

When i heard of the cycle I was asking about earlier, I thought people doing it were insane.

This? This is something immense! its terrifing that someone would do it!

I can only speculate as to the feeling of reaching the finishline there

metamorphosis

ALMOST THERE JO! WAHAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

MoonDancer

Do you think her arrival will be televised live?

gerard65

I was looking for a webcam on Mizen Head. This is the closest:

Could be a scene HM is looking at right now.

Come on Jo! You can do it!

Have been rooting for you all weekend, my heart has been in my mouth and I don't think the laptop was ever shut down in case I missed anything.

You are fantastic! Best of luck girl.

So wish I could`ve been there for the finish - must be some buzz!!
Those Endorhins are gonna be class....:D:eek::D:eek::D

MoonDancer

I would LOVE to be there and see whats going on, I bet there are crowds of people waiting to applaud her!

Tipsygypsy

Such an amazing woman! What a fantastic thing to do. I am just in complete awe.
