Some distressing news last night from home concerning Carole, my sister-in-law (still) - but it's not all doom & gloom. She's a fighter and there's the PET scan to come yet. My thoughts and prayers are with her.
Overnighted in RV at Sefton Park and had quiet night apart from the sound of the rain hammering on the roof during the early hours!
What elegant crockery!
Porridge for breakfast but guess who broke all of the bowls yesterday - need to get replacements as soon as practical!Andy started promptly at 09.00hrs, sent on his way by Andy Reid, a triple amputee and an amazing and resilient man.
Andy Reid and Andy Mac!!
Under starter's orders!!
One other runner joined Andy at the start but I suspect that he will have plenty of company throughout the day judging from the general level of activity in the park.
Really desperate to top up on fresh water but Jerry Can was damaged in my absence. However, kindly cafe manager is supplying us with 5 litre containers of water as they become available - should keep us going throughout the day.
Gosh! - it's quiet . . . . I wonder where everyone is?
Andy doing well and now has completed about 12 miles - he certainly looks comfortable.
And look what I'm missing at home!!!
I did go out for a run today but not for long and even then I got lost! Managed to eke out the water but really need to top up completely and dump waste when we get to Manchester tonight.
Seems like he's found a fairly consistent, comfortable pace. Tomorrow may be interesting though - Heaton Park is quite a hilly course!!
Managed to extricate ourselves from Liverpool and the run to Manchester was pretty easy - mostly motorway and fine and sunny all the way.
Heaton Park is beautiful and the RV is now parked up and will stay here for both the Manchester and Salford marathons. Due to access difficulties in Salford, Andy will be supported by Sophie from the Yeti and the RV will next be located at Preston on Monday, courtesy of Kevin who is covering for me whilst I enjoy the World Snooker Finals in Sheffield on Sunday!
So, RV now parked pretty and all serviced - full of fuel and water, empty of waste and generator all topped up.
Here's some statistics for you - Since he started his challenge, Andy has now covered some 1,398 miles in a total time of 305 hours and pacing some 2.25million steps!!! Incredible!!
So train times to sort out for the Snooker and will blog more tomorrow - 'Nite all. XX

Missing you little man.
Hope you haven't lost any more teeth since I started my adventure again. I'll have to check when I get home.
I've been in Liverpool today and am in Manchester, tonight so you will have to stick flags 45 and 46 in your map. There must be lots of different flags in it by now!
Mummy tells me that you're having a sleepover at Grandma's tomorrow - I know that you'll look after her.
Take care my son - love you millions.
See you soon.
Daddy.
