11 Pipers Piping

Post Type

11 days down, only 1 to go! 53.4 miles down, only 6.6 to go!

 

I can’t believe I only have one day left to run. Today’s was a lovely 2.5 miles from my home to the pipe stall in Durham Market. My support today was Ross, Val and my mate Miller. Thanks again guys! Chris (Miller) had planned to run the 2.5 miles on the 7th day but was ill so I was over the moon he could make it today.

 

Chris will openly admit he’s no runner so I’m delighted he wanted to get involved in my challenge. Both him and Lynne have been really supportive with my challenge so thanks. Chris had done 4 or 5 runs in December to prepare himself for it. I feel really proud of Chris, it would have been easy for him to stay at home and remind himself he’s no runner. So I want to say a special thank-you to him for taking part.

 

Thanks also to the mystery beeper on the way past Framwellgate Moor! Every beep helps, trust me. Could you also believe that the lady who owned the market stall next to the pipe shop, her son went to Percy Hedley a few years ago. She was delighted to see we were out supporting them today.

 

Tomorrow is 12 Drummers Drumming and it’s my last day! I’ll be running 6.6 miles from the Drum Industrial Estate to my home. I hope some of you can make it.

 

Thanks again for the support,

Paul
