Craig - support from you and others really keeps me going. Glad you are enjoying the write up. It's amazing what we will do for our kids and here we can really show some mutual inspiration, what you guys are doing for Holly (and ultimately others) is amazing stuff.

I shall take this opportunity to plug http://raceagainsttime2009.wetpaint.com/ :)

M8. I never doubted for a single second that you would do it and I wasn't wrong. I have no idea about the shit that musthve been goin through your head a times but I suppose thats what ultra running is all about. Really enjoying your blogs and taking insparation from your achievement. 8 months ago 13 minutes nearly killed me! Now I can do 2 hours, all because I promised a wee girl I would. What u have done shows that I can and will keep that promise. With a little help!

Congratulations you hard-arse marathon man!

Glad you made it in one piece! We'll be in touch - in fact we're in Ferriby on Easter Monday if you fancy meeting up for a good ole' well deserved ale?

Safe journeys & hope to hear from you soon!

56 year old new runner never ran this distance before (no. 57) really enjoyed it. Did the lincoln 10k last week but your marshalling and signing was very very good also the support to us back runners. Thank you

He's done it. The dreaded stage three under his belt and again he improved on his ranking and increased his average speed.

I've emailed him again but please let me know if you hear from him how he is!

I didn't think I'd be the only one monitoring the MdS website. Glad to hear Mike has been in touch and is in good shape and spirits. Please keep us updated.
