A bit like #NUFC, day 66 of 365 started well then faded. The miles have caught up with me today. PS Does anyone know anything about the last image?

Day 66 of 365 underway with a run to the #nufc match. There are less than 300 half marathons left to do this year! 299 to be precise.

Day 64 of 365 done. Only 301 half marathons to go. Tonight was awfully slow with heavy backpack. The dark conditions with no path late on added some mild peril.

Knocked a minute and 46 seconds off this years best for a half marathon on day 59. Today’s 02:48:43 is a massive 39 minutes quicker than this years average time.

What a difference running in daylight makes!

Thanks to those kind folk who have made a donation at www.justgiving.com/page/rungeor....

Run Geordie Run 365 Help Mark Allison raise money to support St Benedict's Hospice, Sunderland

Day 58 of 365 was finished late last night (again) on the treadmill. Today’s half marathon is a run to the match. The earliest run for quite some time.

Thank you for the continued much needed donations to St. Benedict’s Hospice at www.justgiving.com/page/rungeor....

One donor’s comment is hard to disagree with “Gan canny Mark. You are both inspirational and mad as a box of frogs. Good luck.”.

So thank you to Em Gettins and an anonymous sponsor for kind donations to St. Benedict’s Hospice via www.justgiving.com/page/rungeor... tonight.

Sometimes, it’s difficult to make sense of why I’m running around Northumberland in complete darkness late at night. With the hat and gloves, I look like a burglar!! Add in my head torch and I could be a safe cracker!

I tell you what though, the donations to St. Benedict’s Hospice aren’t half making a difference. The two tonight really helped to give the effort some purpose and meaning.

Day 57 of 365 done. That was tough! They all are. I must try and shift my schedule to earlier in the day. Setting off at 8pm most nights this week has see some difficult last few miles. My legs are saying that I should be in bed at that time!

It’s yet another late start on day 57 of 365. The battle against fatigue is a substantial one now.

In other news, I’ve now ran over 700 miles so far during this campaign. Only 4070 odd to go!

If you can spare a few quid in aid of St. Benedict’s Hospice then it’ll make this madness worthwhile. Any donation would be gratefully received at www.justgiving.com/page/rungeor....

Day 54 of 365 done. Zero quality but at least I got round. Absolutely soaked at the end.

The rest of the week presents some logistical issues. By that, I mean not enough available hours in the day to run. I suspect more late runs, risking going over midnight will be called for.

Day 54 is underway. It’s a late one and a dark one. I’m thankfully still in 1 piece no thanks to a car that didn’t see me on a zebra crossing. This will be a late finish close to the midnight cutoff.

Day 53 of 365 done. Nothing left in the tank after the toughest week so far. Lots of travel and a lack of sleep. So pleased to have made it through reasonably unscathed.

I can cope with the aching legs and I’m very pleased to report that, after 694.3 miles, my feet are holding up well.

Day 53 of 365 - After getting home from the #nufc match at 0300, I’m a bit tired today. Still looking good to finish in daylight for once. Much needed donations would be most welcome at www.justgiving.com/page/rungeor...

Day 50 of 365 done. I’ve been from Pegswood to Paris and now Birtley to Baku.

Time for the 0400 flight to Edinburgh via Istanbul. Then it’s a run from Edinburgh airport to the train station. That’s going to be tough. Hopefully, I won’t fall asleep during the run.
