Seven Marathons in seven days

I ran again today, a slow 10km, easing myself back from illness to fitness. Much of my run was in Centennial Park and I enjoyed myself, trotting along the tree lined paths. Also enjoying the warm, fresh Autumn morning was Dave Heeley. Dave, a 50 year old Briton was running a marathon, one of seven marathons he plans to run in seven days on seven continents. Dave is blind and is partnered on his epic quest by Malcolm Carr.
A small number of walkers and runners accompanied Dave today, among them members of Sydney's remarkable Achilles Running Club.
Dave is raising funds and awareness for the Guide Dogs Association.
