Stoptober Day 15 - Stratford-upon-Avon - Clutch - Electric Worry

800 up at Stratford-upon-Avon Racecourse
'I get satisfaction, everywhere I go, where I lay my head that's where I call home' - Clutch.

This played on my MP3 at my 20 mile point today and if you've never heard the song, I urge you to YouTube it and then you'll know just how uplifting this foot-stomper really is.

I'm not sure if I needed uplifting that much as I'd already been the special guest at Broad Street School's morning assembly AND been met local celeb, Cyril Bennis on the way to meeting Richard Howarth at the Stratford Herald, where he's a reporter.

My 28 mile route encompassed all my fledgling running routes of 1994 - some 800 marathons ago.

Tonight I am going to savour the celebration of passing that 800 marathon barrier and tomorrow I make a dent into the LAST 200 marathons to notch up for that magic 1000 marathon target.

Day 16 beckons and its been a long day.

More tomorrow...

  2. Rory, you're a god amongst men! 800 marathons - a huge achievement, and daily proof that you don't just talk the talk, you walk it as well (or run it in your case). Congratulations. (Ben Wilson, Outdoor Fitness magazine journalist)
