VMT?

As I’m stuck on an island in the Atlantic ocean where the biggest road circuit available is 4.6 miles (avoiding running through town that is!) I thought I would make things more interesting (primarily for me) by transferring that mileage and seeing if I could run the distance from Lands End to Broadstairs (furthest West to furthest East in the South of England). But to make it more ‘accessible’ for people following my progress I decided to wend my way left to right calling in on friends and family along the way.

 And on top of that I noticed that “I-Can”, the charity I am running the London marathon for, have affiliated schools across the country with clumps of them in Plymouth, Somerset, Kent and so on, so I decided to call in on them as well, wherever possible. Friends and Schools are red, Daily markers are white and Yellow markers are for the end of each week.

Progress has been good so far with over 60 friends and family having ‘virtual’ doors banged on and twelve schools called in on. I’ve made it through three counties am currently in Mid Somerset. If I’d taken the direct route, I’d be half way between Andover and Basingstoke!!!!! 

But where’s the fun in that!
