Wow what an awesome weekend - celebrating my friend & Client Dario's 12 Marathons in 12 Months!

We ran together for the first time on the 23th July last year, it was a 6 hour timed event & Dario's 4th Marathon (he actually ran 50k that day) - but I remember we were chatting & somehow as you do got on to the subject of goals and what we would both like to achieve from our running. I had just complete the GBC 10 marathons in 10 days and was planning my 100th Marathon in the November.

I suggested to Dario that I add him as a member of the 100 Marathon Club aspiring members - well he looked at me like I was completely mad - I'm used to that look! But...............

So this weekend in exhausting temperatures Dario completed 12 Marathons in 12 Months (lifetime total #15)

For most ordinary people completing one lifetime marathon is an awesome achievement and it is!

But, for some of us - well we go beyond ordinary, beyond sensible, beyond easy - we do what once would have seemed extraordinary, impossible even.

To Dario, and all those other extraordinary, inspirational endurance runners I know & have yet to meet - you are my heroes
