Yesterday children ran scared through the streets of Trail’s Edge (my neighborhood) from the Halloween ghosts and ghouls that will haunt their dreams for weeks to come. Similarly, with only sixty days remaining YOU should be walking, biking, and running terrified through the streets of The Cotswold’s as failure stalks your every move…
| Remaining | Per Day | |
| Tom | 289 | 4.8 |
| Matt | 204 | 3.4 |
| Johnny | 538 | 8.9 |
| Dave | 225 | 3.7 |
| Carlin | 619 | 10.3 |
Keep it up Lyne Road Runners, or should that be Lyne Road Road Runners?

It’s been a quiet week with little more than 25 miles covered between the remaining participants. It must be BBQ and beer garden season. So I’ll keep this short. Here are the latest totals:
Let’s pick up the pace for the last 135 days!
220 days, 122 runs, a lost toenail, plus one marathon later and Chris completes the challenge. Chris is the only participant to maintain a 100% running record (notably Johnny has only recorded walks).
Congratulations!
