Perhaps next year we could all run a marathon every day of Lent? No? OK then, how about something more manageable - maybe not losing it with the family or the friends or the workmates?

You're right Eileen. It was absolutely amazing. The first week I was thinking "If he can do it there's hope for the rest of us." The last two weeks I've not been so sure as we've watched Eddie take ice baths for 15 minutes EVERY day, and seen the sheer pain he has worked through. He is a very determined and motivated man. As well as the motivation provided by raising money for Sports Relief he also seemd to be concerned not to let down his friends and public. For me it has shed a whole new light on Hebrews 12:1:
