Well, if we’ve made it to today then we have almost completed the dream of running 7 Marathons in 7 Days.
My posts have been automated prior to the challenge and I hope and pray we have kept our health and sanity and the team and support team/crew are all safe.
Today will be the toughest of marathons as it’s actually an Ultra Marathon Cross Country over the Mendip hills and after our arduous attempt to run our previous 6 days we shall hope to be in a half decent state.
The Mendip Challenge is an open event that allows others to take on the challenge of 30 miles, 20 miles, 10 or 5 miles.
We are asking friends and family along with anyone who would like to see us cross the finish line at Westhaven School sometime during Sunday afternoon/evening to meet us and cheer every participant across the finish line.
For me and the 7x7x7 team Gareth Starr, Darren Abbotts and Rachel Smith it will have been the challenge of a lifetime, pushing boundaries like never before, emotions, pain, sweat and tears but we all know it’s in aid of 7 amazing UK Charities that need our and your support. Our Challenge has been for those we have lost and to those that need the support and medical care.
The Miracle isn’t that “We knew we would finish the 7 Marathons in 7 Days but that we were willing to take on the Challenge itself”
