One down, 5 stages to go




We made it! After 4:43h through sand dunes, rocky planes and dried river beds. One blister each that has been expertly self treated (with needles by ourselves...) we are relaxing with our feet up and re hydrating. 

Tomorrow has a section of 13km sand dunes which sounds painful. Let's see how our stamina compares after the run today. 

We are delighted with how today went, huffled and puffled alongside each other for the duration and are still thoroughly enjoying each other's company!

Dear family, friends and all you other [lovely!] people -  So.  If you have seen us during the past 6-12 months then you know (and we promise to shut up about it SOON(ish) so you can soon(ish) stop avoiding us…) We're doing Marathon des Sables. 250km over 7 days across the Saharan Desert – that translates to 6 marathons plus 10km …since they give us one rest day in between they require us to do 80+km on one day. We're going to be tired. And very very hot. Bothered…?? We'll get back to you on that one… We leave on 5 April. AAAAAARGH! Here's what you can do to help us (if you believe we can still be helped): If you want to know how we are (more or less live) check in here from time to time. We will have patchy reception and can only send one email per day We can  RECEIVE as many encouragement emails  as you can write. So please please please  write  to us. To encourage us (or remind us we are mad). Put Wednesday 10 April in your calendar now
