Day 38 Carmarthen to Mumbles

Today was the perfect day for running, cool, misty rain that freshen you up and keeps you awake. The 49 mile run to mumbles was set to be a good one, and not too hard.


Again I traveled through beautiful lanes but there was something missing from the area and as hard as I tried just couldn't get excited, I passed strange places that made me do strange things to stay sane, like here in Kidwelly, I balanced my camera some 25 meters away and saw if I could get to pose before the shutter closed in a 10 sec time frame. (Seems like it worked)


All jokes aside, after meeting Tricia for something to bite, I made my way down towards Mumbles when I could feel the distinct feeling of blisters just under both my big toes. Ans as you may know, once you've realized something it becomes incredibly hard to forget it, however, in this game you have to go on.

                                                                                                                   Finally made it to Mumbles and also in good time, meaning, there is still daylight around but have to admit that it was a rather uneventful journey.













                                                                                                                       This does bring us to the county and city of Swansea and also brings the the distance covered to 3259 miles and an estimated 916 miles remaining to cover before 20th October.

The question remains, can he do it........?
