And I'm off

The Mark Beaumont Castle to Keep Challenge started at 08:56 this morning. It was a lovely sunny start to the day but still a little on the chilly side.

I'm largely unsupported today so I'm running with a backpack full of water and energy bars.

Melrose is the target today. I'm currently 5.5 miles into the 36 mile route.
