23 miles - Day 2


The pain is starting to set in for some, especially after the drop down into the Dornoch Firth. Mike is still ahead of the pack but didn't really extend the lead during that section and freely admits that he will soon be into unknown territory...

Steve was just ahead of the others into the feed station and has a few niggly leg aches he is contending with... Jenny ran with him for a while and he is quite content with his progress so far and is in good spirits. Micky and Graham are still side by side and are now eating for England as they are seeing the importance of 'food and mood, Ed is now a permanent part of this group'.

Now at the rear of the group, Torkel is finding the going hard and is struggling with his food intake and a very tight Piriformis (Muscle in the hip area that laterally rotates the thigh) that is making his running very difficult right now. He is hoping to get to the end of today he says... and that's all he is worrying about right now...

Hmmm... let's hope he continues eh?

More from the lunch stop at approx 35 miles...
