Don't ask me how, but I'm running much better and quicker this morning. Having Dave and Mark back on the team running alongside me in shifts has given me a huge lift at this oh so critical stage of the run.

"Our mam was the heart of our family. She was the strong one. Even at the end. She lived a hard life. Born in Gateshead. 1919. Absent father. Poverty beyond anything we can comprehend now. Childhood sweetheart and husband of two weeks killed in Tobruk in '41. But a good life. Another husband. 2 children. 6 grandchildren. But even she couldn't beat cancer. Maybe we can. In her memory. And the memory of others. Run Geordie! Run! Run until we've won!".
