Just can't imagine what my knees (hips, ankles, wobbly bits that chafe etc) would feel like after four marathons in four days
. So Shades - hope you're all in one piece - or have enough paracetamol and nurofen (gin?) to keep it all at bay.

Day 4 - 104 miles done now, phew
Hot again today, but not humid so better than yesterday. I took it easy as I didn't want another awful run like yesterday. Finish 6.01 in good form, had to slow the last 3 miles as the sun was too hot to run in. No problems with drinks today, all where they should be

Didn't sleep well again last night and I'm not the only one, no particular reason, it's not too hot or anything. It's Michelle's birthday today so we're having a drink in the bar, tomorrow we will be half way so another drink to celebrate, we're stil working on Thursday's reason for drinks
CumbrAndy - John is a star, he looks after us so well every day
Shades,
Well done. This mornings national forecast said something about the weather being cooler towards the end of the week so fingers crossed.
Shades - there appears to be a machine doing this 10 in 10 with you! How is Steve putting in 3.30's every day?
Actually, scrub that. How are ANY of you doing this???? You're all machines!
You are a star - our star!
Well Done Shades
Hope you manage to get some sleep tonight .
I feel humbled that Steve has run 4 marathons on 4 consecurtive days faster than my PB!!
This whole challenge is insance, but I mean it in the nicest possible way. It is the extreme nature of it that makes it so interesting.
Well done again. You're a superstar!
. I feel sorry for Sue spending 7:39 out there today.
Is sue ok??
Shades you know your bod and you willl be fine
want to do this now
Well done Shades, just keep taking it steady and enjoy those drinks on Thursday.
Hippo - don't you dare, we can't go through all this again next year
Fantastic news that everyone finished again today - especially 'our Shades'!
Wishing you a restful night, and comfortable weather for tomorrow.
I aint resisting
no point
shades is doing it with me anyways
ok thats three of us
we need more laydees in this event
anyone else?
You're going brilliantly Shades. Homeward leg after tomorrow, and the adrenaline and your determination will bring you through (sounds easy when expressed like that and I can't really imagine how tough this challenge must be).
Everyone that I've mentioned this to thinks it's utter madness, but deep down they are full of admiration like I am. Hang in there, and know that everyone on this thread (and many others) are willing you on!
Nothing mad about this at all
Shades will just do it, in her quiet determined way
The only unknown factor is how fast she will do it
but do it she will
no question
weather is cooling....... We are all with you Shades! Keep it under control - no heroics at this stage (as if what you have already done wasn't heroic enough)!!!
amzing shades - I have no words left. keep going....YOU CAN DO IT!!
hipps - I am glad you stopped resisting...I AM NOT DOING THIS...EVER EVER EVER EVER.....
Morning.
Great going, Shades! It's cooler here this morning, hope that it has also found it's way northwards to you.
