I can feel the pain Andy how did you survive this? You are amazing amd Catherine sounds the same! What a thing to put yourself through!
And to complete. I hope the frog survived too! I forgot to say that in your blog abotu the peak district run I had to smile about your meeting with the cows! I had alweays thought they were gentle creatures that just 'stood and stared'! Obviously not! What a feat these runs are? Another one soon??!!
inspirational This isi as inspirational as your blog about the peak district! Everything I said about that and more! Up and down bloody mountains and all in French!!! Cordelia
I am SO impressed Andy I had not thought of the weather or the timing when you told me about your 100mile run. I am so amazed and impessed! I am also so impressed that you bother with little(!) old people like me when you do such an incredible feat! So thank you for sharing this and saying good things about me at the gym! Of course I am very interested! You could not go higher in my estimation and with your studies too! What did the mothers in Australia have to say afterwards?! My mum would probably have said and so? why only 100 miles what about the second hundred??!! All best wishes and so well done from Cordelia I did enjoy the session and I will never moan at you again!!
far out Doobs, ya nut.
came across this whils looking for away to contact old band members to see if they had any photo's of band days.
Well done. Seems like you never stopped running. I'm short of breath just thinking about it.
happy smile is good to see.
What you doing beside running round the world.
I'm now a haemo dialysis nurse and a father of an 8 month old boy called clancy to a wondreful woman called rachel, still living in Darwin

I am left speachless! What an amazing achievement Andy ( and of course Catherine for looking after you so well during that gruelling race!). I am left feeling completely in awe of you both, and for once in my life I am lost for words! The experience you descibe sounds very scary to me, and a huge strain on the body, and must take immense courage, physical and mental strength and determination, and sheer guts and will power! Congratulations...what a fantastic achievement. Karen
Congratulations Andrew! Wow what an achievement. I am so impressed (but glad it was you and not me)... I'm still shivering after reading your vivid description about the cold...
Impressive as usual! I don't know how (or why!) you keep doing this to yourself but well done. Next time why not try visiting a nice pub and parking yourself on front of the fire with a pint of ale or three???
Foil-tastic! Good grief! And I though you were just nipping up to the peak district for spot of sight-seeing. Genuinely inspiring stuff, and many, many congratulations on picking up the pot. I'll be seeing you for my training tomorrow, I hope I'll be getting an easier ride than this...
INSPIRING Andy, your tenacity is amazing. I could not imagine how it felt but your fantastic descriptions of the conditions brought it all to life!
Hey, have you thought that maybe the field of cows, wasn't all "cows"?? Glad you survived it though! Congrats to you Andy on finishing the race, winning and breaking the record. Well Done!!So glad your support team is doing well too!
When are you home next? Hope life in London is treating you both well.
Love Kristin
Yip ya! What a read! You are certainly crazy in the coconut, but what an inspiration. I especially loved the twitchy cows and five foot fence at the end. Good thinking on the foil thing mate! Very resourceful. Onya! x
Tres bien! Bravo Catherine! I can see that you are still running and well done for your performance! What about Andy, no marathon??? Or are you up to something impossible again? In July I'm off with friends from Adelaide to the High Route in the Pyrennees, from Lescun to Gavarni. I think that you have done it already! If yes tell me a little abour it!Can I still see it on travelblog?
Hope you are both well and thank you for those news.
Big hug and a tres bientot!

camels What fun. Saturday I got on a camel at Partridge House Glenelg at the Palindrome festival for a very sedate ride around the grounds. Decided it was time for a new experience at 66. Glad to read more of your adventures. Love Mum and Dad M.
I have always wanted to see a rugby match at the Millenium Stadium - very jealous! Whether Australia won or lost it would still have been a fantastic experience.
proud family Proud of you we all are Andrew and for your next venture we think the City to Bay in Adelaide would be the way to go. What a relaxing race for Catherine to watch and we wouldnt be stressed. Think about it!! Love the family
We thought a six-month trip around the world in 2001 would cure our travel bug, but alas it only made it worse! So many more places to see and things to do. So we are leaving the sunny skies of Australia for a stint living and working in London. When the time comes we will make the journey home travelling overland from Casablanca to Kathmandu (visiting as many places as possible in between) and a few months volunteer work in Nepal.... full info
