Welcome to a collection of blogs that will hopefully give you a bit of an insight into what it is like to run across Africa.  I am going to break them down into sections of approximately 10 days at a time.  I am most definitely not an author or blogger or any kind of English language expert.  So please be kind to me if there are spelling or grammar mistakes, I try my best but am just a mere human.

Every night on my run I would try to write in my diary as I lay down to go to sleep.  All the information in the blog is taken from my diary.  Sometimes my eyes shut before I could finish one sentence, those days will be brief.  Sometimes there was so much sweat dripping from my forehead that the ink wouldn't stick to the paper I was writing on, those days will be brief too!  Day 1 to day 11...

When I began my run across Africa I was convinced that I wouldn't have any blisters, as I have never really suffered from them at all.  I had a single blister when I ran across South Africa (which I nicknamed 'Peanut') and assumed that it was a one off.  Well... I was wrong!  From the first week in Namibia, I suffered with blisters and all kinds of feet/toe problems.  I have put together two videos to give you a little insight into what your feet go through when running multiple marathons.  One video per foot.
