Its two weeks since I ran my Marathon and still my legs are sore, very sore. I wake up in the night with a burning sensation under my knees and cramps that seem to go on and on. The sides of my legs feel tight and if I hadn't had these sensations before I would be worried that I had done some permanent damage. One of the problems with being here is that the environment is always with you, to get anywhere you have to walk on a physically demanding surface and your body never gets a chance to recover. The job I have been doing is also physically quite demanding with long hours and no days rest since the run. However ...tonight I leave! Yes today is the day, the last day of the season and tonight I board a ship to set sail towards South America. Finally I will get the rest I have been waiting for and hopefully the recovery that my body is craving. This wont be my last post as I still have a month of traveling, but this is my last post from Halley and on that note it was a good time to post the audio I recorded at mile 25.2. The quality is rubbish because I had the microphone away from my mouth but you can just about make out what I was saying. All that leaves me to say is thanks to everyone who gave me shouts encouragement, those of you sponsored me for the charity (Raised just under 1700 pounds for British Heart Foundation ) and those of you who have indulged me in this whole Adventure in Runderland...Thank You :-)!
