Challenge complete! In 31 days I managed to keep up and ran a half every day including a very early start on Christmas Day. It seemed such a good idea at first, but cold, wet, dark mornings soon filled me with dread. But there was nothing for it, I said I'd do it. Massive thanks to my wonderful support crew, my wife Nicky and two young boys as well as friends and family. All the runs are logged at the Facebook page below.
