‘The Man Who Died Twice’ by Richard Osman

Finally got round to reading the second book in the series.

Another good read – as good as the first one. If you want to read a good book that’s not taxing, you can do a lot worse than having a go of this one.

Next up: Rat

Done.

I ran 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hrs.

Noon. Beautiful day – bright sunshine and a little bit too warm if I’m honest.

This was the penultimate run. 4 miles. 41mins. Ran down to the river and around the field, that puts me on 44 miles.

That leaves just one to go and I’ll be very happy when the next one is done.

Next loop: 4pm

Legs felt a bit tired this morning.

It was a lovely morning – so a run down to the river was the plan.

By the time I was a mile into the run the legs had loosened up and were feeling a bit better. Although, the last mile was quite a struggle.

That’s 40 miles done over 10 runs – only a couple more to do.

Next loop: noon.

As I woke up with the 3.50am alarm it was the first time I thought to myself, ‘why am I doing this ridiculous thing’. The three hours kip seemed to whizz by and I was just feeling tired when I clambered out of bed and placed my feet on the floor.

Of course, this feeling soon changed when I got out running. It was a pretty fresh feeling morning, the sun was trying to pop it’s head over the horizon and all was good with the world.

Another 4 miles ticked off in about 42mins – about average for this challenge.

Just three more loops to go.

Next: 8am

That’s 32 miles done.

Glad that one is done – the dark makes it so much more difficult. Not sure if it’s the added mental effort to avoid falling off the road, or the just not being able to see and place yourself within the loop.

Four to go.

Next loop: 4am
