Marathon Day 53, Saturday 7th May, 2011 - NI, Lisburn

Another beautiful day boding well for continuation of  the gardening chores - Oh, joy!!!

Breakfast with my lovely family then straight into the weeding  - and then just for a change decided to cut the front lawn with the small mower.  Oh bugger - the self propel drive isn't  working - wish people would tell you when things break so that you can get them repaired. Hey Ho - job done anyway.

Andy finished in 6hrs 48mins - a bit of a hilly run but he reports "no problems!"

An update on stats:

To date he has run 1,647 miles in a total time of 370 hours. That's an average pace of 13.5mins per mile, pretty well on target considering the injuries he's suffered!

Just 404 miles to go now and then it's all over - I wonder how he'll feel when he crosses the finishing line in York!

Sadly, a very dear old friend of ours, Grandad Charlie,  passed away on Friday and Ellie is going to the funeral which is in Dublin on Monday. So, there has been considerable rescheduling and juggling of plans which means that Ellie will be flying into Glasgow from Dublin on Monday afternoon instead of driving there with me from home.

Tomorrow night, Sunday I'll be at home with Benji and Ellie will be away! Don't like it - can't imagine how these 2 months have been for her!

So travel plans made, packing well in  progress  I prepared early dinner for Ellie and settled for a bit of facebooking / TV catch up.
