Hi I'm Andy Knight and this is my blog about a crazy year long challenge I have set myself.
By doing a different endurance challenge each month I hope to raise awareness and money for Springboard Opportunity Group who do

Day 4 - I can almost see Stratford

Well that's the forth day completed and my last one on my own.

It's been a lonely 4 days and I've come to the conclusion I've got a rubbish taste in music!

But I'm here and all being well I will reach Stratford upon Avon by tomorrow afternoon.

I made a strategic change to the start point this morning which meant that I didn't have to run more than I needed to and I reached Middleton Cheney (26.2 miles) in 5hrs 5mins.

The weather was certainly a lot kinder to me today, it was cooler and I even manage to dodge the rain although I did get caught in one hailstone shower!

Thanks again to my brother for putting up with me, last night I was pretty knackered and was in bed by 7.

I'm now at the great B&B that is the Gate house in Middleton Cheney and I've just selected my breakfast for the morning, a cheeky fry up! Why not I have burnt over 18,000 calories in four days.

I looking forward to getting a massage letter and I'm so pleased that my legs have held up so well so far they deserve a rub down!

Surprisingly too my feet are not in too bad a state. Only today I have what I think is my first blister.

So on to tomorrow, I'm joined by Andrew a LEJOG buddy from 2 years ago who will be cycling along side me and dragging me in to Stratford where I will get to see my lovely wife and kids who I've not seen since Wednesday.

I cant believe I'm nearly there with only 2 days to go!!!!!
