Day 5 went really well – 68km over big hills, tracks, over streams and all sorts of other difficult terrain.

Not sure of all the details, though it took about 12 hours – came in position 36…

Having a rest day today, and then a 15km run to a cold beer and some yummy Chinese food – can’t wait!!

Had another great day – 48km over steep terrain – came in position 28 – pretty happy!

1oC yesterday, though today warmed up and was about 28oC, which was much nicer.

68km and the last day of major running is tomorrow.

Can’t wait to see you again Lou xx

Had a really good run today – lots of big hills, snow capped mountains, hail and few sheep…

Came in position 23 today, so very happy with things so far – a few big days coming up though.

Stretching going well – sleeping mat ok, and freeze dry food tastes ok ;)

It was a short day due to the cold temperatures – though n a cool camp.

I’m receiving your messages – love you lots xxx

I am also sending them via your email address – are you receiving them?
