I have completed LEJOG4 in 17 weeks and 6 days in position 82.

874 miles ran and walked with Buddy.

I've loved every minute of this challenge and I'm sure it was just what I needed.

So I'm virtually hugging RunaroundSue right now as we reached John O Groats today and I want to thank her for telling us about the challenge and her weekly post. Can you tell I'm just a bit emotional right now and I will admit I had a tear in my eye at the end of my run today. Just imagining actually running and reaching that finish line.

Happy running all πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

I am so glad that I got the problem of getting no replies or any emails from Healthunlocked fixed, I think it was a fault somewhere in their system which affected some users of this site, among other things I am glad it was fixed last night, otherwise I couldn't have congratulated you or RunaroundSue on this forum on completing Lejog.
