I've now done 401 days of running a minimum of 5km per day and it is with tears of sadness and regret that I'm retiring from this challenge to allow my hip injuries to finally heal up before I start my marathon and ultra marathon training in January.
During the challenge I've managed: 2,706.72km = 1682.24 miles = 29.51 miles per week = 4.20 miles per day = 64.21 marathons = 401 days of running = 2 sore hips + sore knee = sore legs = time for a break
I have also made some wonderful, if not slightly crazy, new friends on this challenge and I will never forget the camaraderie that is shown amongst all those involved.
Never fear as you haven't seen or heard the last of me as I intend to return to the challenge on Saturday 5th January (BUPA Great Winter 5k Run) but in the meantime I shall keep reading the blog and make the occasional comment or simply be here to give some help and encouragement.
Keep on running :)
