Brathay 10 in 10 – from
Kate McIntyre
Greetings fellow
Valley Striders! I've recently been accepted to do the Brathay Windermere Ten
in Ten. I.e. to run 10 marathons in 10 consecutive days!!! If you would like to
find out a bit more about my journey, do have a look at my blog: http://www.brathaywindermeremarathon.org.uk/blog/kate-mcintyre/2014/11/food-glorious-foodor-how-to-eat-an-extra-5000-calories.aspx I hope you
like it - do share it with other runners if you do. I'll see you at the Abbey
Dash on Sunday (it will be the middle section of my 20 mile LSR!!) See you
soon. Kate
