Welcome to my blog charting my progress towards the Marathon des Sables 2014: a 155 mile stage race over 6 days in the Sahara desert. Competitors must be self-sufficient save for a daily water ration for the duration of the race. Temperatures can range from 50C to -5C. Think I'm crazy? You're not the only one! This blog records my experiences and thoughts, and reflect, though I hope it will provide an interesting insight to my friends and family and maybe other MdS competitors.

Christmas Morning Running
One of my favorite runs of the year is my Christmas morning run - nothing too extreme just a relaxed potter. It is just so quiet, very few people are out and about before 9 am and so there are no cars on the roads - nothing to get run over by or disturb the peaceful morning atmosphere. This is the third year I have got out for an early run and it wasn't any different this year, running along the top of the hill on a gorgeous (and pretty mild for December) morning. No rucksack, and a comfortable amount of clothes - no MdS focused things here, just fun for once!
