How's the team now? Does it feel as though it's all a dream and normal life is resuming as before. Well, it isn't. It's not a dream. It happened and is a huge achievement which will have changed you all. Remember that, in the days ahead as you all move forward, and as you process the arduous weeks in flashes of memory. Margaret and Dick xx
margaret and #dick on 2010-05-04 18:52:24
Congratulations on an astonishing achievement. Now, can you do stand-up in a frock?
Stephen Gale-Batten, Gordonstoun 1969-71 on 2010-04-26 12:23:08
I can't believe you sat on your backside whilst the rest of us ran around London yesterday! I kept wondering if you were going to suddenly appear running the opposite way! Fantastic achievement by the whole team and you really must write a book about it inspire others. It's that gritty determination, relentlessly strict training regime and full-on pig-headed stubbornness that you need to do something like that which will inspire others to achieve their own goals (obviously not everyone is bonkers enough to do what you did!!!). I am in awe and will use your example to spur me on when I hit a bad patch in my marathons. Well done.
susie Hewer on 2010-04-26 09:36:43
Congratulations Hugh (or is that Hugo?!!!) Quite simply an amazing achievement, hope you get to have some time now to put your feet up, and relax with your family. Look forward to catching up sometime in the near future. Love Dix. x
Emma Dixon on 2010-04-25 21:40:59
Just watching the London Marathon which just makes us realise even more what an incredible feat you've achieved. But don't stop. We need a team like you. Think of other things to do, for others too. Let's keep this ball rolling.Please. xxxxx
margaret and dick on 2010-04-25 12:45:43
It was certainly a great finish and a great day! Many many congratulations on your avhievements so far and we all look forward to hearing your further plans. Great stuff altogether - just keep going!!
Tony Pain on 2010-04-24 20:04:40
Loved the wrap up. Yup, reckon this will be life changing stuff and so thrilled to hear it's the start - rather than the end of something. Marvellous, marvellous. xx
Kate on 2010-04-23 20:17:50
Tracy said it was on Drivetime , Radio 2, yeseterday. Goody. Mx
margaret and dick on 2010-04-23 16:25:16
Was just considering the gas oven option when you announced that you would keep up the blogs...brilliant! A final congratulations to Team Hugh and thanks for a great 50 days!
Nix on 2010-04-23 14:19:33
Wonderful 'finish' blog, Matt. You give a real sense of the occasion. And what an occasion. So glad there will be other blogs, other events, and so on... Much love to you all, Mum and Dick
margaret and dick on 2010-04-23 07:03:24
Now now Matt, you don't need to calm down - sober up maybe! What you've done, Hugh, is unbelievable, but to consume that much Guinness afterwards too? Incredible :-) We're all very, very proud of you, particularly Jo Jo who's managed to acquire a 'Go Hugh' hat and hasn't taken it off yet! (Think she just owes you the 21 pints now?) Anyway, if you'll excuse me I must have an internet shopping spree with Jonny PR's card - he left it behind the bar last night. Hee hee! xxx
Sue, Golden Lion on 2010-04-22 18:09:26
Well done Hugh! You need to visit the Middle House - I am sure Jon and Linz would love to stand you a well-earned drink! I wonder what you will think of next - keep us posted! xx
Margaret and Linz on 2010-04-22 15:14:38
Just cannot believe it is day 51, and you dont have to run a marathon! So hugely impressed by the incredible achievement. Cried with excitement most of yesterday - so, so very proud of you and the Team. Marathondog says when can she run again!! lol r c and s xxxxx
rosey on 2010-04-22 12:23:09
Well done Hugh, no doubt you are enjoying some relax time. Had hoped to see you over the finish line, but sadly couldn't make it, nevertheless, I was mentally willing you home. Take care old bean - love the facial hair!
Duncan Ellison on 2010-04-22 11:02:00
So fantastic to see you yesterday. What an incredible day - we were all still shaking our heads in disbelief at the achievement. I will miss logging on SO much. Hope your wind down isn't too laborious. Enjoy some feet up time Team Hugh! Much love, Kate and Mabel xxx
Kate on 2010-04-22 10:27:02
So how does it feel on day 51 and nowhere to run to (apart from chemist for paracetamol)?! Matt - please pen a blog for today; we're all waiting to know what life is like now that you've completed the challenge in such style. Fantastic achievement.
Chris S-B on 2010-04-22 09:26:31
Hugh well done you done it :-) such a amazing challenge and i was so proud to support you throughout. You had such fantastic support for a great end to 50in50, i had a great day being part of that :-) Thank you so much for all you have done for Marie Curie. Enjoy your family and friends now they have been fantastic throughout too. Take care and keep in touch xx
Sarah Richardson on 2010-04-22 08:59:12
Fantastic achievement Hugh. Well done! Love from Tracey, Tony, James, Lucy and Harry at Leppington x x x
Tracey Kendall on 2010-04-22 06:47:07
An honour to run with you yesterday and to complete our first marathon. Our respect for you have rocketed having grinded out the distance. Amazing acheivement Hugh. Enjoy your rest.

Ieuan Watkins on 2010-04-21 23:45:18
Well done Hugh, what a fantastic achievement, i really do not know how you did this challenge both phsically and mentally! You are a real inspiration to all and have raised a fantastic amount for a wonderful charity. Well done you, now go have a good rest xx
natasha on 2010-04-21 20:20:38
Waiting to read your report of the final day. Loved the bit about Albert running with you. He once squeezed a lovely wet sponge down my back at the Bewl 15!
susie Hewer on 2010-04-21 19:23:02
I have just seen your amazing achievement on the local news - many many congratulations. I'm an ultra runner so know what it takes to undertake such an extra-ordinary challenge and for a wonderful Charity - a huge inspiration, thank you.
Mimi Anderson on 2010-04-21 18:08:06
Hugh (and team) you are amazing. I was at Trafalgar Square today to see you come home and it was hard to beieve you had just finished your 50th Marathon. I hope Freddie is ok he looked a little bemused by it all.
CB on 2010-04-21 17:36:59
Kate phoned us to tell us of your successful and moving finish. Oh, we're so so proud of you all. Enjoy this evening and think often of all you've all achieved. Tons of love to you all. Margaret and Dickxxxx
margaret and dick on 2010-04-21 16:36:43
Good luck for the final furlong. What an achievement!
Graham Keal on 2010-04-21 15:59:48
Well done Hugh. Really thrilled. Espectáculo pá!!!!! Am sorry I couldn't make it over for today. It was still in my plans till Monday evening, but eyjafjallajoekull (…the volcano with the silly name) put paid to that. I always told the doubters you'd make it ...stubborn old mule that you are! Um abraço from base camp in Lisbon
Iain on 2010-04-21 15:56:51
You have been in my thoughts today Hugh , sorry that I could not come today ,but you have my utmost respect for even attempting this marathon , I always knew you would do it .Well done xxxxx
WENDY CARPENTER on 2010-04-21 15:07:52
We wish that we could have been in london to see you finish. Words cannot describe how much we admire what you have manage to achieve. CONGRATULATIONS
nina and roy coopard on 2010-04-21 14:23:53
GO HUGH. Good luck on the final days.
Tommy on 2010-04-21 13:39:16
Hugh, Fantastic work - shame on me for not turning up and running a short mile or two with you. That's an amazing achievement
Jeremy Doyle on 2010-04-21 12:07:32
With you in spirit all the way to the finish line. Don't trip over Stripper!
Debbie Loftus and Pan the dog on 2010-04-21 11:30:46

Debbie Loftus and Pan the dog on 2010-04-21 11:29:55
Big disapointment being stuck in Portugal! But we are with you in spirit to day... What a special day! A GREAT achievement. WELL DONE Hugh and to your amazing team. Look forward to seeing you and the family next week.
Iain and Babette on 2010-04-21 11:04:03
Well done Hugh! What a great achievement! Congratulations to Matt and Samia too! Sorry not to live closer on occasions like this. Hope you get masses of DONATIONS. xx K
Karyn on 2010-04-21 10:59:50
You'll be sad to finish?! We'll all be sad not to read the blogs. Enjoy this last day. It's the most fantastic achievement for you all and you'll never do anything like it again. The memory will keep you warm for the rest of your lives. There won't be a dy eye in the house for any of us when you finally reach Trafalgar Square. We'll be there in spirit, but the boss is away and I'm covering... darn it. Phone me when you have a minute Matt. Love from us both to all of you. You are truly amazing. xxxxx
margaret and dick on 2010-04-21 08:31:33
Hugh, that's just unthinkable what you've done. Am stuck in Spain due to flight chaos and NOT thinking of running home. I can't wait to see you at the club or wherever. Amazing, well done.
Paddy Wills on 2010-04-21 08:19:20
Many congratulations Hugh - its a FANTASTIC achievement. Really wanted to be with you today but am there in spirit whilst stuck in a meeting!! As always, Guy xxx
Guy on 2010-04-21 06:40:24

maureen cody on 2010-04-21 05:33:33
A fantastic achievement which leaves us speechless! Have loved following your progress. Wishing you the best day tomorrow.
Graham & Barbara White on 2010-04-20 22:05:08
I forgot to say, I'd love to join you in London but I have to work but I'll be watching for you on TV later.
susie Hewer on 2010-04-20 22:03:04
Heard you on the radio this morning with your rolled up Telegraph! Have a wonderful day tomorrow and bask in the glory of what you have achieved.
susie Hewer on 2010-04-20 21:55:38
Bonza. Enjoy tomorrow.
Giles T on 2010-04-20 21:47:34
Wow! You're nearly finished. You must be so excited. I can imagine you wanting to sprint this final race. Even if you don't make it tomorrow, 49 is pretty good. haha. good luck! Also, Happy Birthday to Freddy. Josemaria AKA Ze
Josemaria AKA Ze on 2010-04-20 21:44:38
Woo hoo - less than 24 hours to go. Yay! I'll be cheering you in at Trafalgar Square! xx
Kate on 2010-04-20 20:28:30
Hugh ... I am speechless and in awe. Wishing you so much luck for tomorrow. Flora x
Flora Harvey on 2010-04-20 20:23:35
Congratulations Hugh & best of luck for tomorrow, we'll be thinking of you. Michael tells me you're coming to Hawkshead for some r&r...there'll be a pint or two behind the bar for you! Cheers!!
Ed@The Kings Arms on 2010-04-20 19:23:25
Woooo!!! Well done for getting dad round it today. Can't believe you've only got one to go. Its just so amazing! Good luck tomorrow and see you in the pub. X
Emily Bridge on 2010-04-20 19:05:52
Nearly there indeed. Terrific effort Hugh and team. Very well done, see you in London tomorrow!!
Tony Pain on 2010-04-20 18:44:04
Following you on Twitter and thinking you are doing an amazing job - keep it up!
365PetProducts on 2010-04-20 17:45:34
p.s Yacky, I was just wondering when you were going to put your slinky shorts on? I am assuming you car broke down to explain your absence today.
James Preece on 2010-04-20 17:00:43
H, sad as I am to leave a grovelling blog, given that running for 9 miles with you today up and down those wretched hills (what idiot put them there?) nearly wiped me out, I can only marvel and wonder at the fact you ran another 18 (and another bloody 48 marathons before that). Great to catch up with the team, nifty navigating Matt and still waiting for my rub down Samia. As for the unofficial member Georgie, thanks for pouring all the red vino down me last night mate, that really helped today (not). Many congratulations to Guy-you proved it's not just a young man's game, but I hope you can walk again soon. I'm now off to pursue a media career after the performance on radio 2 this morning. If you need me again, contact my agent. In the meantime, just one more (as Fartz used to say in the Ship).
James Preece on 2010-04-20 16:48:43
Geat honour to join your penultimate day in the East Sussex Alps (surprisingly hilly), and a pleasure to meet the team that have made this possible and kept us all entertained with the blogs. And thanks for the Garmin-glitch Hugh that meant I had to join you for the extra 700m! Great day & respectable time. Enjoy NUMBER 50 (!!) and hopefully see you tmrw night. I'll be hobblin' and only done a measly 27(!) miles. Makes me appreciate quite what you have achieved. Right, where's the bar...
Chris S-B on 2010-04-20 16:38:41
It must be so strange to be having to fill in the miles when your heart tells you all you're home. But nearly there now. Nonie told me Hugh was on Chris Evans. That must surely help to reach the charity target. How wonderful that will be.
margaret and dick on 2010-04-20 16:37:32
Great to see you in the village and looking so goooood. We are still collecting at Woodhill, nobody gets out withouht something donated. Can't wait to put up the sheet that says you have completed your 50in50 then we can ask for more!! Bloody well done
jon on 2010-04-20 16:19:05
Well done Hugh. I bet you're looking a bit lighter than Toby Marden. You must be smaller than his arse on its own now.
IAN GUY on 2010-04-20 15:16:15
cant wait to tug you over the finishing line - hope you can keep up with me! woof woof
marathondog on 2010-04-20 15:06:21
Well done! You should be a good bet for the London Marathon on Sunday after all that training. Sorry not to be there tomorrow.
Babette and Iain on 2010-04-20 14:43:32
H you amazing man!!!! By the time you read this you will be 49 down and only the last, emotional London one to go. I can't tell you how proud I feel about all that you have achieved. Thinking back to those drunken conversations about 50 marathons it just didn't seem possible! But of course you have achieved it with ease and with a smile on your face (if you can see it through the beard)!! I managed to get booked on the first flight back from Cape Town tonight so I was going to come straight to Trafalgar Square....but it has just been cancelled. So I definitely won't be there to cheer you on. But please know I will be cheering you on from here! So, so sorry I won't be there. Well done and enjoy the thoroughly deserved party! xxx
Siany on 2010-04-20 13:35:30
I would love to have seen Freddie and the twins little faces when they saw you yesterday. Cant believe you are nearly finished you are returning a hero. lots of love Emily x
Emily Foden on 2010-04-20 12:03:04
Quite brilliant mate. See you tomorrow.
Will Dickins on 2010-04-20 08:19:06
I cannot put into words how impressed I am. Well done. Have a blast doing these last 2 on home soil with friends & dog.
Cathy on 2010-04-20 08:10:44
Congratulations to you all reaching Mayfield in one piece yesterday. Good luck with the hills today! SO nearly there!. XX
Jo on 2010-04-20 08:03:45
Great megaphone slot on the breakfast show! Did you really start the LM in the wrong direction?? Between you and Matt I am amazed you made it back to the UK! Have a good run today. Roads should at least be pretty quiet around the Gatwick area... Unbelievable achievement guys - I am SO impressed.
Nonie on 2010-04-20 07:56:21
Two to go....................and who better to run with today than James. Just wondering who is going to get to the pheasant sandwich at lunch? Have a great day and see you tomorrow.xx
S and D on 2010-04-20 07:16:51
Just heard you on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Radio 2. Just two more to go... Love from everyone here
Gloria on 2010-04-20 07:16:19
Hi H. Yacky and I looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday. Have a good evening at Coggins Mill. Happy 4th the tensBirthday to Freddie tomorrow! Good luck with the final 2!! Cant believe you're nearly there! xxx PS Well done 'little Charlie'!
Nix on 2010-04-19 21:13:36
Mr Boombastic: fantastic to see that you are peaking in time for Wednesday. I am of course referring to the Guinness. Race you to the bar.....
Phil H on 2010-04-19 21:03:25
My sister tells me she felt quite emotional reading your blog tonight - infact she felt like crying - so crikey am not sure you intended it but not only do you look like some argentinian polo player with your weathered good looks and toned thighs but you have got women sobbing around the country. Have advised her not to cry but make a donation. Go safely and see you Wednesday NesXxx
Ness on 2010-04-19 21:01:28
Great stuff yesterday and a fantastic time too, have fab run tommorow and cya in Hyde Park Wednesday
Pete G on 2010-04-19 20:44:27
Wow Hughie, what you're doing is amazing. Hope you're well and enjoying it as much as humanely possible. You're so nearly there! PS James is, of course, very impressed
Beth Lobban on 2010-04-19 20:23:01
What can I say but you are an inspiration to us all! Best Wishes, Helen & Colin friends of Diana Boulter
Helen Hitchcock on 2010-04-19 19:13:46
Go Hugh go, really rooting for you down here in Dorset. Glad to here Tripod can be responsible sometimes!! Enjoy your final two days, what an achievement. Love bec, jim, flora and JJ xxxx
Bec Hill on 2010-04-19 18:45:02
WOW! You are such a superstar. You know I wanted to be there but BA cancelled my flight from NYC this morning. You have no idea how bummed I am. I will of course still be there in spirit. You are truly amazing. XO, Chrissy D
Christina on 2010-04-19 18:40:18
Wonderful blog. And how, after running a marathon, you manage to do this I do not know. STunning times but I agree with Dad, Matt. Take it steady but I refuse to consider myself an old crock. He may if he wishes! Keep running, and ENJOY this last little bit. It is the effort of a lifetime and you must all remember every moment, but especially the last few days. Mumxxx
margaret and dick on 2010-04-19 17:33:32
What a fanatastic feat and an inspiration to us all! All the best, Claire, Diana Boulter's friend & accountant!
Claire Firth on 2010-04-19 16:39:34
Wow pulled all the stops out for the official marathon but please do take it easy on the last couple of days.Where are you running in Hyde Park?Is there an official meeting place? I will never doubt anything you say again as I did wonder if you had taken on too much with this challenge back in Oct when I first heard about it.So glad you proved me wrong in stunning form!! Look forward to seeing you in London on Weds. Ros Woolf
Ros Woolf on 2010-04-19 15:57:00
H how on earth did you manage that time yesterday? Fantastic! Do think you all missed out on the drag shows though, they would have loved you! I hope it was lovely to have a night at Coggins Mill and to be a celebrity in Mayfield. Only two days left....I can't believe how easy you have made it look!! I am still stuck on a farm in Cape Town with no signs of leaving soon. It breaks my heart to say that I don't think I will be there on Wednesday :( I will stay in touch with Soph though and let her know. Go Team Hugh!!!! Lots of love and best wishes for last 2 xxx
Siany on 2010-04-19 13:31:31
Hi Hugh - thought you'd like to know that I got an enquiry for you today for a paid speaking job wehn you finish 50in50. See you at the finishing line! Diana at DBA Speakers
Diana Boulter on 2010-04-19 13:30:30
We are with you all the way. You are TRULY AMAZING!!!!! Everyone should know what you are about to achieve. We wish we had one hundredth of your commitment and dedication. Love T and G x
Tallulah and Gloria Stacey on 2010-04-19 13:06:23
Keep going Hugh and keep thinking of the finish line!!
simon stacey on 2010-04-19 12:56:55
Just thinking of you and all those marathons makes us feel tired - so we get the same results as Hugh without having to run. Thanks for doing the work for us! Don't forget that many an old crock has broken down on the return run from Brighton. So take it steady and keep on running!
Tony Pain on 2010-04-19 12:55:12
Great to see you all yesterday, fantastic time given the heat....not to mention the small matter of a previous 46 marathons! Mind you, I guess your used to sunnier climates these days! Best of luck on the home straight. We're really grateful for every step you're making. x
Jenni Thompson - MCCC Events Team on 2010-04-19 11:34:28
What a great big show-off! How on earth did you pull that time out of the bag after all those marathons? A super-human performance! I only wish I could run the last one with you but quite frankly it would kill me off so I'll give it a miss. I expect to see you plastered across the papers/TV on Wednesday (did you see the Kent & East Sussex Courier this week? it made me smile as there was a photo of you near to one of some silly middle-aged woman doing her knitting whilst running!!!)
susie Hewer on 2010-04-19 10:33:01
Well done Hugh . You should of gone in Legends , I agree with your mate , one look at you in the Lycra and we would of gone way over the target ! Love Wendy x
Wendy Carpenter on 2010-04-19 09:52:43
Great to see team 50in50 at Brighton yesterday - excellent VIP Guinness! Hugh - you really do have the knarly, tanned and bearded adventurer look down to a tee - and you seemed rather relaxed after posting a time for a marathon that would have most mortals coughing up their lungs! Matt - I don't agree about the drag queen show at legends - with you boys in your lycra you would have drummed-up support for 50in50 from a whole new kind of fan base! Looking forward to seeing you in London on Wednesday, Cheers, Vincent.
Vincent on 2010-04-19 09:48:35
Hugh well done for yesterday, it was fantastic to be able to be there and watch you in your mad quest of 50 in 50! You achieved a great time yesterday and you still have more to go :-) Great job Hugh keep running, will see you on wednesday for the big 50th run :-) xx
Sarah Richardson on 2010-04-19 09:09:52
Amazing, amazing. I'm sat at desk yet again silently screaming you on. I love the sound of Rosie! My facebook page has become a satellite site for Team Hugh. Comments received today include: Susan Godfrey: Inspiring Chantal Borciani: They are so amazing Alex McMillan: unreal xxx It will be fun running through Mayfield! Three days and counting! x
Kate and Mabel on 2010-04-19 08:07:02
Well done in the Brighton marathon and in a good time after all the others you have run! Brilliant effort, perhaps you can take it a little easier today!
Tony Pain on 2010-04-19 05:32:06
Unbelievable time, unbelievably proud of you H and Team H. What a day. Go carefully and try to enjoy the last days. So exciting. Love and Hugs S and D xx

Welcome back to Britain. I think a shave before Mayfield would be a thought - the bairns won't recognise their dad!
Julia Odie on 2010-04-18 16:34:34
Very best wishes, and hoping and prayingb that all goes well on this last lap. Amazing times you are keeping. Looking forward to seeing you again soon in Mayfield - that is if you will still have time for some of us lesser mortals after your great achievemnt!
Stephen Reynolds on 2010-04-18 14:44:27
Have emailed Matt re joining you at some stage on your "last leg"! Hope it feels good to be back on British soil. Keep going hun, only a few more to go!! Emma Jane
Emma Jane Wheatley on 2010-04-18 10:46:37
whatg a fantastic few days we had with you. Even more proud of you having seen what it all entails. Glad you liked our clapping and cheering - the French workers standing leaning on their shovels thought we were mad. Can't wait to have another game of poo-sticks! See you in Hyde Park lol r c and s xxxx
rosey on 2010-04-18 08:59:44
Just to welcome you back home and wish you all the very best in Brighton today!!
Tony Pain on 2010-04-18 07:53:05
Thanks for a great couple of days. Experiencing the shear mental strain of running just one marathon (although a little untrained) really makes me appreciate the difficulty of the whole thing. Watching you fly off the next day while I could scarcely hobble put things in a fresh perspective (the picture shows it all). It was fantastic to discover the style of life you guys have been living the past weeks, I'm sure you'll nail the last four runs (PB tomorrow for sure). See you on Wednesday if Guinness hasn't claimed you.
Charlie on 2010-04-17 22:11:15
Well done Hugh I had faith in you from the beginning and knew you would do it , the days have passed so quickly , maybe not for you ! but you sound as if you have had a few laughs on the way , keep it up you are almost there , Love Wendy xx
Wendy Carpenter on 2010-04-17 21:29:12
4 to go - amazing. Take it easy in the Brighton Marathon and no sub-4hr time! And can you slow down afterwards too; I'll never keep up on Tues.
Chris S-B on 2010-04-17 20:42:34
Don't worry Fatrz I'm drinking her share. Guess what, just been to a lunch where one of the auction bids was a day at the Plas for 2!! Would have bid but blown all my cash sponsoring Pheasant Sandwich.
Johnny Two Guns on 2010-04-17 19:48:02
4hr 14?! oh my, that's so fast. remember you still have a few days to go. i'm worrying about you going too fast! i'll be at trafalgar square on weds before 3 to soak up the excitement. xx
Kate on 2010-04-17 19:46:24
outrageous. HP I don't have the words. However as a Welsh chuffer you should push on through to Llangefli. .. Little H is really worried about your bottom. ps Bell s off the booze. What should 2 guns do?
fartz and little H on 2010-04-17 18:56:22
England her you come. So nearly there H, just dig those heels in and go for it now. Can't wait to see you on Wednesday. Big hugs and may the sun be on your back all the way.xxx
S D and B on 2010-04-17 18:49:29
Hugh you are truly a well 'ard now. Well done so far. Awesome. I will try and get to Parliament Square. Alex x
Alex Kerr-Wilson on 2010-04-17 18:23:34
What an amazing time at this stage of the game. Not long now, and sunshine on your back for much of it (fingers crossed) Thank heavens you're not flying over the channel. Looking forward to the blog when you have a mo, Matt. Nice photo. The beards are growing on us.
margaret and dick on 2010-04-17 16:24:00
Chatted to Kim via Facebook last night. In case the ransom for marathon dog's toes doesn't work, I am doing a series of cake bakes to bring in some more dosh. (WILD crazy Surrey behaviour.) I've begged and pleaded and am now resorting to fat, flour and eggs. xx
Kate on 2010-04-17 12:30:32
I'm doing the Cholmondeley run tomorrow and I may say that unlike some I have no website, support crew, PR dollies, sponsored shoes or beard. OK, it's only 10k but there's always a chance of being chased by one of Lady C's long horned cattle. Donations to my account at the Cholmondeley Arms gratefully accepted. Keep going H and see you Monday.
James Preece on 2010-04-17 10:18:15
Hugh...finally able to get to the internet to send you a message. Looks like you are still doing a fantastic job and Soph says you are OK. I am stranded in Cape Town due to the volcanic ash...never thought I would be saying that! Anyway am keeping everything crossed that I get home in time to see you on Wednesday. Good luck H, am thinking of you! xxxx
Siany on 2010-04-17 09:29:09
It's a beautiful day here and I hope it's the same with you! What could be nicer than a run in the countryside with the wind in your hair, the sun on your back and a trusty pair of shoes on your feet? Maybe by this stage the novelty has worn off a bit but you are still doing a wonderful job and getting ever closer to your goal!! Just keep on running!
Tony Pain on 2010-04-17 07:44:21
If you add up your online, offline and gift aid donations it comes to £29,946.28 for Marie Curie! Wow!
Julia Odie on 2010-04-16 21:21:35
Attention. If a donation of at least £5 is not paid to Marie Curie from the person reading this message I'm afraid to say that Marathondog will not be running with Hugh on the 21st April. If you have already donated please disregard this ransom demand ( and thank you). However if you haven't donated please be aware that as each day goes by a toe from marathondog will be removed.
Kidnappers on 2010-04-16 21:11:49
Nearly there now - just as well you're not due to fly across the channel or that would be another chapter in the tale! Just one step at a time and you'll be there in no time.
Julia Odie on 2010-04-16 19:41:00
You are amazing H we are all bursting with pride and admiration . Cant wait to see you run through that final bit on Wednesday. Love Emily Farts Maddy and little H x
emily Foden on 2010-04-16 17:45:39
Keep at it, you are inspiring the globe, no pressure! A truly remarkable push for cancer research, well done! Very proud that there are people as amazing as you out there.
Stephen Broadhurst on 2010-04-16 15:34:12
Keep smiling, Hugh - not far now! You are a superstar. And just think, it could be worse - you could be stuck at a desk while it's sunny outside! Love from us all at the DBA office - see you on Wednesday (we're closing the office so we can see you at the finish!
Diana Boulter on 2010-04-16 14:38:38
Hugh i have said it before but you are doing a fantastic job and i am very proud to be the Marie Curie nurse to support you in such a amazing challenge. Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday in Brighton really not long now :-) keep going and see yopu soon xx
Sarah Richardson on 2010-04-16 12:59:28
Thank heavens the weather is fair for you all. I'm surprised you had no offers at the market. A couple of fit blokes should surely have brought in some offers. Ah well. Keep at it. So close now. But be good and do as Samia says.
margaret and dick on 2010-04-16 06:44:31
I will never look at a farmers' market in the same way. Six days and counting... xx
Kate on 2010-04-15 23:08:22
Amazing, absolutely amazing. No, not the fact that you've done 43 marathons in 43 days but that now even my step-father is managing to post on this forum with his tech skills. Steady as she goes for the last week. Best of luck and enjoy it.
Giles T on 2010-04-15 22:01:03
L.O.M. safely home and so happy he has seen you in action and met the team. Full of admiration for you and everyone involved. Nearly on the home strait now, keep gritting those teeth. I am sure Rosey and Charles will inspire you with their energetic cheering! Can't wait to see you in 6 days xxxxx
S and D on 2010-04-15 20:58:13
I totally agree with Tony. Tomorrow is another day and a morning start will make you feel far more the ticket. And running through Somme country will reinforce your already indomitable courage and endurance, Keep at it, all of you. A wonderful team, a wonderful marathon runner.
margaret and dick on 2010-04-15 19:44:02
A few early miles under your belts tomorrow and your spirits will rise! Not so far for you now on these more northerly roads and maybe it's even getting warmer. Lovely seafood ahead and what about some crepes instead of pasta for a change? You're doing a wonderful job so keep going as youm are!!
Tony Pain on 2010-04-15 19:31:13
The long drives will be worth it. It will be so inspirational to run through the Somme. You should be exceptionally proud of all you have achieved. Love you Matt. xxxx
Annie on 2010-04-15 19:26:01
........ just CONTEMPLATION! ............
Karyn on 2010-04-15 19:21:44
Unbelievable achievement so far Hugh! Looking forward to seeing you at the finishing line.
Ginny Hopes on 2010-04-15 18:28:03
no stamina (...Muscadet! ...really)
Iain on 2010-04-15 16:37:43
Hello Hugh, looking forward to seeing you back in Blighty. You and Stripper are extreme athletes. Lord only knows what you're going to do with all that energy once you've stopped running. I hope your amazing achievement will encourage everyone to donate to Marie Curie Cancer Care. You've done a fantastic job so far and we are all cheering you on. Superhuman effort Hugh. Amazing . Will Rosie and Charlie be running a full marathon with you tomorrow ? :) xx
Kim Team Hugh on 2010-04-15 16:17:38
Well done Hugh, we're all rooting for you in the salon and wish you all the luck in the world for the final leg.
Anna Ramsey (The Big Scissor Company) on 2010-04-15 16:15:18
Argh! I hate starting late too but you still managed to pull a decent time out of the bag. I really hope I do get to see you in Brighton.
susie Hewer on 2010-04-15 16:05:30
Human Hugh, I've been kidnapped. Please Please Please tell my Mum. It's dreadful here, I have to sit and stay BEFORE I'm given food and I AM NOT ALLOWED ON THE FURNITURE. It's HELL !!!!!!! Pay the ransom. Get me out of here. Oh well done Hugh blah blah woof
Stripper Marathondog on 2010-04-15 15:34:27
Don't make Charlie run too fast tomorrow. On the other hand don't try to keep up with the Kenyans/Ethiopians in Brighton! Keep going; the Middle Hopuse is in sight (almost).
Iain and Babette on 2010-04-15 15:17:52
Only a week to go... Amazing achievement Hugh. Keep doing what you are doing - it is incredible.
Nonie on 2010-04-15 13:08:03
I reckon not even Volcanic Ash can stop you now! Just amaziing what you're achieving. Abraços from Lis and me. Nick
Nick Reynolds on 2010-04-15 11:47:23
I ran 9 miles with James around Cholmondeley Park 2 weeks ago and he was hung over and moaned the whole way round! I strained a tendon in my shin! Good Luck Hugh for the last stretch.
Peter Shone on 2010-04-15 11:38:23
Keep it up Hugh!!!!! Having run with you in person and seen for myself just how great a feat you are undertaking, I can honestly say that it was a true privilege to have met you and your inspiring team. Bring on the 21st and good few laps of Hyde Park! All the very best of luck for the final trek...
Tanya and all at WSM on 2010-04-15 10:49:37
Dad and I really enjoyed our trip and we hope gave you some encouragement. Don't try any more fast times and do as Samia tells you ! We had a good trip home and Dad has gone back to Yorkshire this a.m. We both send you lots of love and very very best wishes for the rest of your journey. Please give our regards also to the rest of the team.
Uncle Arthur ! on 2010-04-15 10:39:51
Hi Hugh - I'm working on our "celebrity list" for your finish day. Hope to have aworld star with you. See you at the finish! Diana, Lyn, Sharon and the DBA team
Diana Boulter on 2010-04-15 10:37:30
Message from the little one: Why's Hugh running - oh no, is he lost? We must find him, mummy. x
Mabel on 2010-04-15 10:33:42
I love this picture. Such focus. Wow. Just the last week now Team Hugh. You can do this. One day at a time. You are nearly there. So very, very incredible. xx
Kate on 2010-04-15 10:32:16
Totally inspirational.... what your doing is legendary!! KEEP GOING!!
Toby on 2010-04-15 10:28:48
You are an amazing person Hugh. We are sure all at Marie Curie are cheering you on - as are we! That beard must be slowing you down now though! xx
Margaret and Linz on 2010-04-15 07:59:12
Hugh, thought you were amazing when I first contacted you.. you are more than bloody amazing! Well done! See you in Brighton Sunday!
Tracy Bliss on 2010-04-14 22:25:50
At last some mention of serious sport. So are you free to play on 7th May Hugh?
Phil H on 2010-04-14 21:13:25
NEARLY AT THE END HUGH! KEEP GOING! beetle would be proud! lots of love from a very rainy mouchao xxx
Anty and Gus on 2010-04-14 20:42:02
Flipping heck you were a bit of a racing snake today! The likelihood of me keeping up with you in Brighton is a great big NO! Your achievement is amazing. Dig deep and keep churning out those miles.
susie Hewer on 2010-04-14 19:31:39
Go on Huge you are stark raving bonkers. Is Beetle with you?
Peter Davies on 2010-04-14 18:48:14
what a brilliant day - are you sure you are not wearing roller skates! See you to-morrow - have got the porridge! lol r c and s xxx
rosey on 2010-04-14 17:22:46
WEll done, Team Hugh, nearly there. Just a few more days, and a lot of miles so don't go mad and rush it. Hi Uncle Matt. xx
Megan and Josie on 2010-04-14 17:14:25
H,just a few left now which is miles more than most of us will ever achieve. Is it pure coincidence that the wind was bad when Dad and Patrick were with you?!Saw Freddie and twins yesterday,all on good form.Go brother go.
Ros Woolf on 2010-04-14 15:19:53
Hugh - you are truly amazing, to think that the most energetic thing we used to do was head down to the pub at lunch time! You are a legend fella - I hope all is good, keep going and speak soon. Look me up when you get back... Duncs
Duncan Ellison on 2010-04-14 15:15:44
Curious to know whether Pedro Pinto's on the job, Hugh?
Iain on 2010-04-14 13:11:58
Congratulations for coming this far with the end so near in sight. Considering all the injuries you started with, it was always more a question of weather you should take on this challenge at all, rather then how far you’d get with a very slim chance of reaching the finish line at all. What a brilliant example of mind over matter, I have never been so pleased to be proven wrong. All the best for the last few days of your incredible journey from Coretta and the rest of the PhysioEdge team
Coretta Hart on 2010-04-14 10:29:30
Such an impressive effort mate! Running into the history books...
Rufus on 2010-04-14 09:12:11
Pretty incredible and very inspirational - keep it going! Plus I like the wine quips - help me choose my next holiday!
Tim - just a blog follower on 2010-04-14 08:11:24
You are brilliant little brother ! we are all so so proud of you. Cannot believe you only have 8 to go. We are so excited about next week, Maddy will be there but sadly little H back at school. X
emily foden on 2010-04-14 07:44:38
France must be gutted that they're to be spared My Way from Matt at the Karaoke bar! Glad the wind is down and that today was a good day. Fingers crossed for more like this. Keep going team.
margaret and dick on 2010-04-14 06:25:29
The look of determination sais it all. Lets hope the wind will help to push you home. Good Job Team H and well done to l.o.m. for walking the last mile today......must have been a big help H! xx
steppie on 2010-04-13 21:13:31
Keep trucking guys. Hopefully the wind will stop and the sun will start shining. There's always a sweet rendition of 'danny boy' if things get tough. Much love. X
Annie and Kris on 2010-04-13 20:35:02
Sorry about the northerly wind chaps, it passed by here and we tried to stop it but our break was not high enough//the poles broke/the ropes snapped! Anyway in the end we left it to you - sorry. Despite all this you keep going Hero Hugh to our constant admiration. We know you couldn't do it without support so congratulations to you and your impressive team!
Tony Pain on 2010-04-13 20:00:43
After a disapproving tut from you and all here on the eve of your departure when offered a dirty glass of jug red down the local tasca in Belém (Lisbon), I'm now told you've succumbed ...in Muscadet country of all places! ...lack of stamina is a bit disappointing really
Iain on 2010-04-13 19:36:21
Hugh am just SO impressed, can't believe you are now in single numbers but take it steady we don't want any last leg injuries. Have emailed my contact list with your website - i only mention this because it produced a couple of donations and others might do likewise (sorry you probably all already have but i'm a little slow on bright ideas). take care
Nx on 2010-04-13 17:54:01
can hardly believe that you are now in single figures, and that we will be seeing you in a couple of days, on Thursday - if we find our way!! Hope your father and uncle are behaving themselves and are not leading you all astray! Is it true that your father was going to do some of the marathon with you? lol r c and s xxxx
rosey on 2010-04-13 17:53:45
Have missed you on the tennis court here at Mouchao - but we are all now holed up inside avoiding an almighty rain and thunderstorm. Back to Mayfield tomorrow. You are so nearly there! Incredible! Keep running. Love from all here.XX
Jo on 2010-04-13 17:27:23
Nearly in your final week - incredible. I'll be there next week to see you pull in! xx
Kate on 2010-04-13 16:29:30
Phenomenal effort but it looks like you are neglecting your male grooming Hugh. More moisturiser NOW.......
Phil H on 2010-04-13 16:16:48
Hugh, ask George how he described your facial hair to James in a text! I think the beard suits you! All the best for the remaining 8 marathons. x
Juliet Biggart on 2010-04-13 15:58:17
Hola chicos, Nos alegramos de que sigais adelante. Nos gustaria estar en London cuando llegaseis. ANIMO TEMA HUGH!!! Saudos desde Galicia
Jose Ramon - Finca O Bizarro on 2010-04-13 14:38:58
Stop running like a wuss and pick up the pace! ....seriously, great stuff getting through the 40+ barrier with consistency. You can now do the final countdown 10,9,8 to the (finish-dont contemplate the F word yet though) ..just keep focussed every day.
Gav on 2010-04-13 12:53:36
H - bumped into Jodie Kidd outside our offices yesterday on a photo shoot for Goodwood. She was very sorry not to have been able to join you but has a hip injury and has a doctors off games note (a bit lame I thought). She will be in Chile next week so asked me to give you a snog on her behalf when you cross the line. Sadly she was reluctant to give me a bit of tuition in her technique! But dont worry, will warm the tonsils up at home in preparation..... Keep going Hugh - phenomenal effort from you all.
tripod on 2010-04-13 08:55:16
Hopefully the last stinker of the trip. Grinding out is tedious but I guess you get used to it. Just hold the thought that you will be back in time for the party leaders' debate. No, no, come back! Well done, what a very very long day you all have. Lots of sleep on your return. WEll done yet again and now you're into the 40s...
margaret and dick on 2010-04-13 06:15:16
You are a total inspiration to all who know what you are doing. My two children are amazed at your achievements 'you're better than that famous man'!!! Stay strong and keep well. From a dear friend of Jude's and your father's toy girl (he'll know who I am!!) x
Liz Prideaux-Hirst on 2010-04-12 20:22:46
Hi Hugh, I've been following your fantastic progress for all of your journey and I'm in awe. You have ignited my imagination for my own personal endurance event. But before all of that lets see if I can complete my first Marathon at Brighton. I hope to see you come in - after me! Best of luck with the rest of your epic jouney. David.
David Groom on 2010-04-12 20:07:24
Watching your progress from Mouchao. Truly fantastic. Well done H and team. See you on the 21st! Hope the shins hold out for the next 8 days! Keep going!!! xxx
Nix on 2010-04-12 18:10:51
Incredible Hugh. Your rosolve is a great for many people. Well Done. God be with you.
Daniel Andemichael on 2010-04-12 17:51:23
Amazing H, you are now in single figures, you look revoltingly halthy for someone who has now run over 1000 miles. Is this what we have to do to look good! You really will do it now..keep wombling on.xxx
Steppie on 2010-04-12 17:40:57
Wow, what an achievement. As a junior runner you are quite an idol. well done. keeps me going when i get worn out doing 4 miles. :)

Emilia:) 12 on 2010-04-12 15:52:03
Hi Hugh and Team, Hope all's going well as you carry on up through France. Was great fun to come over and join you all for a few drinks and a bit of running! I had an absolutely brilliant time and was amazed that you were all in such high spirits (I would even go as far as to say you were on top comedy form!) despite the grueling road trip. Can't wait to catch up with you all in London. Good luck with all the running till then! xxx
Julie Concrete Slab on 2010-04-12 15:27:38
Am simply blown away and lost for words (a first!) for your incredible achievement - all overwhelmingly amazing for such a wee chap! Keep going and see you on the 21st...
Giblet on 2010-04-12 11:49:24
Love hearing your daily updates via local radio what a positive way to start the day I am so encouraged by what you are achieveing! More power to those legs of yours, well done Hugh!
June in Brighton on 2010-04-12 09:38:39
Hugh an incredible achievement keep it going what you are doing is inspiring.
Martin Johnson on 2010-04-12 09:34:07

emily Foden on 2010-04-12 07:14:56
You have now run your age in marathons. I can just about do my shoe size in miles. Do you have the Wombles on your ipod to keep you going or is it Paul Potts? p.s Peach, stop faffing around and get your running shorts on you floppy haired slacker.
Two Guns on 2010-04-11 21:57:12
Terrific achievement - jusgt keep going! Glad you enjoyed Saumur, one of the loveliest Loire towns in my view. Just a bit further, day by day and you'll soon be there!
Tony Pain on 2010-04-11 20:16:11
Sick children - all fine now - so just caught up. You are all doing so well - WELL DONE. Saw Tim last night, apparently Tripod needs to run alongside with microphone in Brighton which will be worth filming in itself ! Nx
Ness on 2010-04-11 19:26:07
Hugh and team!! Really good to see you in France! Thanks for all your efforts with the phography and will send through pics as soon as we get them. See you in Brighton! X

susie Hewer on 2010-04-11 10:44:03
Have just sent you an email which hope you receive but also just to say we are thinking of you and full of admiration. It's easy enough for us to say but keep going! All love Mark and Lois
Lois and Mark Gilbert on 2010-04-11 10:39:16
My neighbour's wife sadly but peacefully died last week whilst in the amazing loving care of our local Marie Curie hospice/nurses. Without people like you raising such crucial funds and awareness for Marie Curie to support people in this way, who knows how hard and miserable her final days could have been... My neighbour asked me to thank you from the bottom of his heart. Good luck with the final few runs!
Sarah Wormwell on 2010-04-11 09:41:23
Tired this morning Hugh ? Aw diddumms. What's wrong with you man ?! Imagine me biting at your ankles if you need to pick up a bit of energy and speed. How can you possibly feel a 'little tired' you've only run 39 and a bit marathons. I don't know, humans these days. No stamina ! Look forward to racing you on the 50th :)
marathondog on 2010-04-11 09:30:51
1000 miles!! It's incredible. And a wonderful day to celebrate - and a good night's sleep. How anyone can develop a relaxed style is beyond me after so many days of effort, but it just goes to show how incredible Hugh is. Well done and keep at it, carefully and steadily. Home soon. What will you all do with your time?!
margaret and dick on 2010-04-11 06:59:29
one thing that has been worrying 2 guns and me after all these miles - how's you bum?
captain fartz on 2010-04-10 21:05:51
Had your father telling me all about your marvelous efforts Hugh whist he was having a bacon sandwich!!! He is looking forward to seeing u in France soon. What a fantastic thing it is you are doing keep it up for all who have & have had cancer. Regards Kim
kim on 2010-04-10 21:04:05
What are we all going to do when you've finished and we have no blogs to read, and no rivetting progress to absorb. Totally fantastic effort, Hugh. Keep it up. Nice to see the dosh target is within reach.
margaret and dick on 2010-04-10 20:45:27
Matt, quit chatting up the l-a-dies! Gees, this is a hard slog. Hugh, you're looking so slight. Rest assured (poor choice of words) we all know this is a challenge of an epic, inconceivable, size. You're incredible to still be going.
K and M on 2010-04-10 20:35:49

Keep those little legs going H. Nearly out of the thirties and counting down fast. Still in awe of your momentous efforts xxx

Well done Hugh,keep it up.13 more days - thats all,you can do it
Megan on 2010-04-10 08:07:13
Loving the blogs, and blown away by what team Hugh are acheiving. Keep going all - and great to see you getting some runs in Matt. Don't let it distract you from chef duties though!
Nonie, Megan and Josie on 2010-04-10 08:02:03
Keep going Hugh - your Father has just knocked on our door to tell us about your impossible journey. London beckons and a deserved rest. Marie Curie will appreciate your support and , we hope , your considerable sponsorship donation.
Tony and Anne Denness of Leppington on 2010-04-09 18:16:13
It was good seeing you at Mouchao last month, Hugh(with the puppies!) We are amazed and full of admiration at what you are achieving. Good luck with the final part of the journey.!
Pat and Ian S. on 2010-04-09 16:27:47
Do hope the weather doesn't get too hot. Temperature rising here. So glad all is going well. Keep going, Team Hugh
margaret and dick on 2010-04-09 16:23:49
Had lovely chast to Sophie this adternoon, whyo sounded on excellent form. Canh't think why, but she is looking forward to you coming home! Johnny and Farts familys came to dinner and guess what, we talked about you alot!Getting so excited about next week - keep those legs pumping - not too fast! lol r c and s xxxxx
rosey on 2010-04-09 16:23:24
Hi all Fantastic effort all round. Would love to be back with you but look forward to catching up in 10 days time! Love to you all Toby Ness and the girls (who are still keen on their naked running)
toby on 2010-04-09 11:44:03
H, we are absolutely astounded at your amazing efforts, you are getting better by the day and the team are obviously facilitating this.....quite superb. Can't wait to greet you all back on the 21st. In the meantime, the two l.o.m.'s are polishing their running shoes and stretching the lycra ready for next week. xxxxxx
S D and B on 2010-04-08 18:39:10
As Director of Sport at the Dragon School, Oxford, and somoneone who finds himself stranded in Southern France because of the rail strike, I can only look upon your feat with amazement at your powers of endurance and jealousy that you are working your way across the country faster on foot than I am by rail. I hope that the 8 young Dragons that join you in Hyde Park on the 21st do themselves justice and keep up with you. All the best for the final push.
Gareth Jones on 2010-04-08 13:10:16
Nothing Disney about it Matt, though you're a natural with the blogs. I've watched the first half of Eddie's challenge and, goodness, it's gritty. He was nearly in tears in the ice bath and his feet were a mess. How are Hugh's holding up? I am part excited/part nervous about logging on every day as I just can't get my head around what Hugh is achieving. He was a hero weeks ago in my book. x
Little Painer on 2010-04-08 10:38:49
Jorg, what an absolute legend you are! You & the Team are just breaking barriers left, right & centre! Wish I had a magic carpet to come & join you all on your epic adventure & cheer you on in person! Will be there on the 21st to welcome you home! WOW! Just speechless really...
Sophles on 2010-04-07 21:13:18
Amazing. Simply amazing.
susie Hewer on 2010-04-07 19:27:41
HUGE LUCK, though I'm sure its nothing to do with luck. Mental and physical stuborness I expect.
Laura on 2010-04-07 17:36:55
Just go for the sun on your back and forget Dad's navigation! It all sounds idyllic but underneath there's serious work being done. The Loire will welcome you with some nice wines. So proud of you all. Not long now. And guess what, home in time for the election!
Margaret and dick on 2010-04-07 17:15:50
Just off to Mouchao with Guy and the boys. Charlie is hoping to join you in France when we get back and Guy is still sporting the lycra leggings in preparation for the Mayfield leg. Lots of love, admiration and encouragement. JoX
the Bridges on 2010-04-07 10:13:12
You're a funny man Matt. My chuckles are now turning into stifled snorts. Must. Not. Let. The. Workies. Know. I'm. Reading... Fab job team. Give Hugh some tuck shop money and Samia a pair of bins. Happy days. x
Mini Painer on 2010-04-07 09:25:47
Hey, that should have been right shoulder! You see how difficult this is!!
Tony Pain on 2010-04-07 08:07:51
It's been great to hear of your smooth and rapid progress over the last few days and that you are in such good shape Hugh (even if you do have to put up with Matt alongside you for a few miles). I'm a bit concerned about the navigation now. When all you had to do was keep the sea on you left that was OK, but now that will no longer do. So long as the sun is somewhere on your back or left shoulder at midday, that ought to be about right. Continue the great work.
Tony Pain on 2010-04-07 08:00:02
Still following your progress - this is awesome! Words fail me on your achievement thus far. I want to be in London to cheer you in. Well done, amazing, marvellous and all the other superlatives I can think of.
Sher Kent on 2010-04-06 22:13:33
Well done so far! Unbelievable what you have done, You're a nutter! Would love to try and come along and see you on 21st.
Charley Boorman on 2010-04-06 19:58:53
It's all sounding rather relaxing (if you forget the marathon distances). Well done Team Hugh - sweet 16 to go! x
Kate on 2010-04-06 19:58:11
Well done Hugh, Leppington is cheering you on!
James from Leppington on 2010-04-06 14:14:18

Ros Woolf on 2010-04-05 20:01:25
Keep going Hugh, you are truly amazing. Training for one is bad enough, you are such an inspiration. Happy Easter and keep going... :-)
Penny G on 2010-04-05 18:59:21
You have more in common with Eddie Izzard than I'd realised. Does Johnny have another two man-bags on order? Great for storing leg warmers. It's incredible to have such a fantastic sense of humour at this stage. If this is all about attitude, you guys will fly. xx
Kate and Mabel on 2010-04-05 18:48:38

Hope you have had as many Easter Eggs as Charlie!n He says he is in training for our visit! Marathon dog has eaten 2 cashmere gloves, half a jacket pocket and a bag of dog treats as she says it makes her go faster!! I hadn't the heart to tell her off! See you VERY SOON. Just keep those twinkly little leg going! lol r c and s xxxxx
rosey on 2010-04-05 16:38:04
Ballet class on your return! Great stuff. WE bought some wonderful cognac a few years ago. I think I gave you a bottle, Matt. Yes, you're not home yet, but darned close. Keep at it.
margaret and Dick on 2010-04-05 13:36:32
Oh team of three, no doubt by the time you read this another 26.2 will be under your feet! Glad you had a bit of fun to celebrate Easter. Have heard Darcy Bussel was impressed by your dance, such diversity of skills you do ;possess. Brilliant job so far , keep going Hugh and I hope it will not be long before more company joins you along the way.
Tony Pain on 2010-04-05 13:20:07
End of life care is everyones right , to have provided for them ,when I see Hugh in his blogs always smiling always cheerful it makes me feel so proud that he is doing this for Marie Curie , enabling Sarah and I to visit more patients and to be able to give them the care they need at the end of their life . Hugh you are an amazing man with a big heart x
Wendy Carpenter on 2010-04-04 20:29:11
It looks to me suspiciously like you have shaved your legs. Also I am becoming increasingly concerned that you may have developed an unnatural fondness for lycra. Farts and I will be taking you away for lager and chips re-hab when you get back.
Johnny Boy on 2010-04-04 19:56:59
Happy Easter! I got a lightning mcqueen cup and chocolate egg from aunty Lucy. I got stickers in a chocolate egg too. Miss you

Sally Bull on 2010-04-03 09:39:13
H, the fact is I have myself to thank for your prodigious efforts. If I had not sent you off as walking gun in the bog at the Plas over the years you would never have had the stamina. Sadly the blogs so far do not seem to have accorded me the recognition I deserve. Cymru am byth

There is a video youc an watch too! ;-) He has another though so all is not lost! It's really interesting reading the blogs and seeing how your trip is going, keep up the good work!
Julia Odie on 2010-04-02 21:12:32

Fascinating blog today, Matt. Thank you. Do hope Samia is well on the way to recovery. As you say, this is a journey in more ways than one for you all. One that you will never forget and which will add to your lives. Roll on Bordeaux. So proud of you all. xxx
margaret and dick on 2010-04-02 09:03:09

Stephen on 2010-04-01 14:53:29
What an experience! What a man! First I would like to thank team Hugh for letting me join them on this epic adventure. It was an experience I will not forget! Just Imagine how it must feel day in day out to wake up knowing you have to hit the road for yet another marathon whatever the weather or the terrain. The determination and courage (plus a bit of madness thrown in) to do this is huge. This is exactly what he needed on the day I joined Team Hugh (day 28). We set off running in horizontal rain and strong gusts of wind which was not what I was expecting when planning a trip to the South of France! As if the pain of running mile after mile was not bad enough it then started to hail on us! Hugh did not bat an eye lid and just carried on as nothing had happened. He remained totally focused and as always kept on running with a smile on his face. My legs eventually gave way after 16 miles and Hugh put his head down and ran off into the horizon. Team Hugh picked me off the side of the road and did their magic! I was shattered and I could barely move my legs.The next day I was so stiff I couldn't get out of bed! I can't say enough how much admiration I have for what Hugh is doing, it is amazing. Also he would not be where he is today without the sterling support of Mat, Samia & Jonny I know Hugh enjoyed the company so if anyone else wishes to join him on the road just contact Team Hugh. Hugh, The Media Tree team are with you every step of the way and look forward to seeing you on 21st.
Jamie Griffiths ( Friend, sponsor & fellow runner) on 2010-04-01 14:37:23
Thank heavens for a flat course. The number of people oohing and ahhing in their lunch hours is growing back here! Matt, Mabel asked if you had a headache (she saw the wine). And she's worried about your beard (she think it's a 'bug'). So sorry to hear about your achilles; but you are still managing to do an exceptional job. We're in awe. xx
K and M on 2010-04-01 12:52:30
Way to go! Scuse the American pun. See you in Mayfield very soon. Brilliant.

Mmm, sounds like Davy Crockett headgear! But good grief, let's have a few calm days for you all. You are going to do this, no probs. We just know it. And great to have friends arriving to cheer you on.
margaret and Dick on 2010-04-01 07:14:09
Glad to hear things are going more smoothly with time even for a little fancy dress and girl company for Samia. Sorry your Achilles tendon is preventing you from running too Matt, but we are all enjoying the blog. Great stuff, keep it up.
Tony Pain on 2010-04-01 06:58:49
Flipping nora! Having eaten my nails down to the quick waiting for the blogs, now that they have arrived, may have to start on the toe-nails! How you have all coped with such dramas I just dont know. Please, please try and get an earlier night - AnAn talking here! I really hope that to-morrow is a more peaceful day. To say I am getting prouder and prouder each day is an understatement! lol R C and S xxxxx

Jo on 2010-03-31 09:37:01
I found even walkikng in Battersea Park tjhis morning in cold and wind nearly impossible, so how you are coping I just dont understand! Mind you, with that Preece blood coursing through the old legs nI can see why you are so brilliant! Can't wait for the last few days bloggs to hear what has been happening. reat to hear you on the phone yesterday morning sounding so perky! lol r c and s xxx
rosey on 2010-03-31 09:31:46
The terrain and the weather leave much to be desired, but you can do it. Quite phenominal mental strength being shown by you and you WILL do it. We just hope that snow doesn't become a huge problem. Crazy wonderful bloke.
MARGARET AND DIC K on 2010-03-31 09:05:05
I am a friend of Jonny Hills and Matt having swum with them in Finland. What an amazing achievement - each day being a milestone... literally. Have looked on the blog frequently. I would like to run 10 k with a friend on the final route from Richmond park with Hugh. Well done Love to J & M Caroline
Caroline Wright on 2010-03-31 09:03:27
Have a good run today H. The last of the 20's - another milestone in your amazing journey. KEEP GOING!!

Hugh, I can't believe what you are doing. Quite amazing. I was just in the pub last night with some marathon runners, some who have done the iron man and so on. We were just shaking our heads. Good luck!!! :)
Jeremy Doyle on 2010-03-31 07:44:11
It must be really tough in the mountains but you're doing a great job. Easier running and better weather ahead. We are all cheering you on, just keep on running!

Jeremy Doyle on 2010-03-30 22:40:30
Congrats on reaching the halfway mark, it's cold wet and raining again here in London but hoping it warms up a little before you arrive. Good luck for the next 25 and remember, "Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible."
Peter Grant on 2010-03-30 21:44:26
I've gathered a little team from work - me and two boys (like my style?) - to help 'run you in' when you get to London. And I'm on the hunt for more... The boys think they can run a marathon no probs (tis funny as you doing so many has made others think, 'I can easily do one' when before they'd never dreamed of it.) We're with you every step of the way.
Kate on 2010-03-30 20:12:07
congratulations on half way, what an achievment, will cheer you through the village on your penultimate leg in Mayfield. From all the team @ Jasons

Your times are fantasitc Hugh - and the discipline in keeping your last 2 miles as a walk is SO impressive. Go team!
Nonie on 2010-03-30 07:35:11
Go Hughey! Over half way, and still going strong, legendary achievement. Well done! Keep well, keep it up, take care and sending love.
Will Gethin on 2010-03-30 07:27:20
We have been to Spain and to France and can't work out how anyone can run that far. Uncle Matt has a beard and we can't imagine him with a beard either. We think what you are doing is brilliant. When we grow up perhaps we can run as far but I don't think so. I don't think Grandma and Grandpa can either!
Megan and Josie on 2010-03-30 06:51:03
A very large congratulatory slap on the back Hugh. An awsome effort. - you're into France and looking good. After reading more about your superhuman effort I felt that I really shouldn't moan when I twisted a knee today whilst reaching for a fat boy pie at Tesco! Wishing you the best of luck with the long run up through France.
Vincent Farrow on 2010-03-29 23:07:42
Remember mate - pain is just weakness leaving the body! ...... Ohhhh, I deserve a slap! I respect the running, but the camera work is definitely ropey! Keep going son! Charles
Charles Wild on 2010-03-29 21:07:35
London team here , expecting snow ! As far as I can see there are three fit , capable, young-ish men out there who ought to be massaging Samia's back in shifts. That poor girl must be exhausted keeping you lot on the road. Can we have video evidence of Matt and Jonny running please. Do you think if I sneaked over Jamie would notice ? I understand that Marathondog's training schedule is moving along at a cracking pace, she can't wait to join you on the 21st. Enjoy the sunshine. I'm sure Hugh is solar powered !
Kim on 2010-03-29 19:13:19
Otti hurt her toe today - very minor but it may as well have been amputated the fuss that was made. I told her to calm down and think of uncle Hugh and how must his toes feel after all that running. She was pretty unimpressed. Have just popped her to bed and asked whether there was anything she wanted to say if I emailed Daddy and Hugh - she said 'tell him i've hurt my toe'. Made me laugh! Hear this morning was tough so get some rest.
ness on 2010-03-29 18:47:10
Sorry to hear of Samia's lower back injury. Lots of sleep for all of you is a good idea. Ever onwards and the finishing line getting closer.
margaret and Dick on 2010-03-29 16:27:19
I think you are amazing what you are doing. .I cant wait to hear you everyday on the radio..I m so glad when you say everthing is going well. I know you will complete it. I ,ll look for you in Brighton Marathon.
gloria on 2010-03-29 15:31:03
Congrats on reaching the half way point.
Morgana on 2010-03-29 15:23:31
Hey Ho you crazy welshman! Hope things are ticking over nicely in Frogland - went for a cheeky 4 mile run this morning and feel like death in the office right now so can only imagine what your going through having just passed the 655 mile halfway point!!! anways best of luck with the remaining 23 and I expect to hear of more hand-gesturing hilarity as will no doubt be necessary as you work your way through France! All the best and keep going! x
Benny on 2010-03-29 13:09:08
I feel so emotional reading this now. Simply incredible. It defies words. xx
Kate and Mabel on 2010-03-29 13:05:07
Well done Hughie but please be careful with Tobs - he tells me he did a whole two miles with you, he must be exhausted and probably has hurty knee. He will have to lean on Tims tripod. lol ness
ness on 2010-03-29 11:46:20
Hugh, I'm in awe... Lots & lots of luck with the second half of your challenge.
Sue Heady on 2010-03-29 09:25:12
Now you know you can really do the whole thing! What a boost tom your spirits and what a great achievement to have come this far. Keep up the good work!!
Tony Pain on 2010-03-29 09:12:23
Fantastic effort Hugh - we love reading about your experiences and are behind you all the way. Can we have a demo of the spiderman jump when you get back please?! LOL
ALL AT WOODHILL on 2010-03-29 07:51:29
Brilliant! You're definitely on the homeward stretch now! x
annie emmerson on 2010-03-29 07:42:47
Fantastic... Half way... Well done... Loving the daily blogs.
Belinda on 2010-03-29 07:39:07
Well done - you are over half way which is a fantastic achievement. Love the beard! Guy xxx
Guy on 2010-03-29 07:12:27
Hugh, well done on getting half way - a great job and I hope the second half is as much fun. Best wishes, Adrian & Natasha.
Adrian Bridge on 2010-03-29 05:36:14
I know you are only half way through but I don't want any excuses you can't swing an Iron after this....stick at it and all downhill now
Guy on 2010-03-28 20:55:27
Just back from Norfolk and Alec and Ems send masses of love and huge praise for what you have attained and are doing. I think Patrick has actually managed to send you an e-mail - these old Preece men and there computers, honestly! To say we are impressed is the understatement of the year! lol r c and s xxx
rosey on 2010-03-28 18:58:27
I did 9 miles this morning and it was bloody agony-don't know how you keep going like you do. Only a mere 24 to go now-no worries. Easier than a leg wrestle with Clements.
Johnny Two Guns on 2010-03-28 17:03:21
Hey little buddy, you're doing so well!! I'm really proud of you!! You have motivated me to start running as well, so far though I'm only running to the park and back but hey it's a start. You are an inspiration and I'm wishing all God's speed on your journey.
Samantha on 2010-03-28 16:27:00
You've made it! Half way. Excellent. An amazing feat in itself and soon the 50 will be under your belt. Wonderful, inspiring. Keep going.
margaret and dick on 2010-03-28 15:51:42
You are amazing and I am humbled by your achievement. Well done to the whole team.
Susie Hewer on 2010-03-28 15:43:41
Well done Hugh- half way!!! Amazing work Samia and Matt too. I am off to Cape Town so might not be online much, but wil be thinking of you the whole time. Keep up the great work. Loving the beard!!! xxx
Siany D on 2010-03-28 12:22:29
Great running Hugh. Hang on in there, you are nearly over the hump. Loving the blogs, Matt, and Samia, you deserve a medal for your skill with blue and pink tape... well done team
Nonie Pain on 2010-03-28 08:07:58
On the eve of 25th day! How brilliantly you've all done, and now - well, you'll be eating up the miles. The money deserves to be pouring in for Marie Curie. Let's all do our best to get the message out there. So proud of Hugh and the team. Margaret and Dick
margaret and Dick on 2010-03-28 07:04:43
Congratulations Hugh and Team for making the magical halfway mark. Superb running. Superb blogs. Superb beards.
Mark Hodgson on 2010-03-28 06:53:09
Not sure what is more astonishing, that a cigar puffing beer swiller is still going strong when most normal people would have been locked up for their own good by now, or that Dad actually seems to have used a computer. As soon as you cross the border into France suggest you have Le Pheasant Sandwich-that'll keep you going. Great blogs Matt.
James Preece on 2010-03-27 18:32:33
BRILLIANT! Half way now. Cant wait to see you on the Somme. Charlie is thinking of going into training to-morrow - trouble is, it is always to-morrow! lol r c and s xxx
rosey on 2010-03-27 17:37:58
Hugh I've been keeping up to date via twitter. Your task is unbelievable your cheeriness extraordinary your achievement, even so far, unimaginable. Now you KNOW you can do it and you WILL. People don't believe me when I tell them about you. Best wishes for the rest of your extraordinary journey. Wish I had something like this to tell the Grandchildren !
phillip taylor on 2010-03-27 17:26:40
Watching avidly for news and it arrived........Congratulations Hugh and team, brilliant work all round, half way yipeeeeeeee. Champagne all round. You can start to count down now and remember the pints at the end! Be safe. Lots of lovexxxx
S D and B on 2010-03-27 17:06:49
By the time you read this you will be half way home, well - closer actually as you have to run past home to get to London! I get shaking heads when I tell people what you are doing, can't think why! Safe home Hugh!
Julia Odie on 2010-03-27 12:51:07
WELL DONE hUGH ALMOST HALF WAY XXX
WENDY CARPENTER on 2010-03-27 11:13:27

Big day HP. Look forward to hearing abou t it later..
GP on 2010-03-27 10:16:53
Just catching up with you. What an achievement! Terrific performance Hugh, Samia and Matt. They say there's no gain without pain so you should gain plenty. Just keep on running.
Tony Pain on 2010-03-27 09:27:38
Congratulations! Downhill from here on. The staff here are following the trip (and learning English at the same time). look forward to seeing youand whoever else arriving in London.
iain and Babette at Mouchão on 2010-03-27 08:30:28
The new hirsute you, eh, Matt. Like it and saves time in the morning we reckon. Don't get on the plane, Hugh. Just keep on doing as you're doing. You're a star.
Margaret and Dick on 2010-03-27 07:52:00
Sophie and Matthew say that uncle H is a true life super hero!
Ros Woolf on 2010-03-26 21:20:54

Ness on 2010-03-26 20:16:33
Golly Hugh, we have just listened to you talking to Steve Ovett. Aunt Rosey and Charlie are here. lots of love
Pat and Janie on 2010-03-26 19:49:42
Well done mate, you are doing an amazing job! Looking forward to meeting up with you and the team next week and joining you for a little run on Tuesday.
Jamie G on 2010-03-26 16:52:43
Nearly half way H, keep going you are doing so well even on the 'grey days'. Samia and Matt you are doing a wonderful job keeping Hugh on the straight and narrow, keep it up. Bestest love xxx
S D and B on 2010-03-26 16:32:55
Hugh - you're almost halfway! from then on its easy! Keep up the routine ...and I'll see you on Wednesday!
Gavin on 2010-03-26 15:33:33
Weel Done hugh! It really is incredible that you are at the half way point, although I have to say that I am not at all surprised as you are the most motivated and inspirational person I have ever met!
Katie Nicholls on 2010-03-26 12:46:32
Is that a Beard??? I almost thought i was looking at the wrong site! Glad to see and read you are soldiering on and making great progress. You're almost half way now! xx
MrsB on 2010-03-26 11:07:31
It is the last day of term today and we have been catching up with your blog. We don't fancy an ice bath much! You are nearly half way - just keep going. We know you will make it. Love from Mrs Bridge and 3JOB
3JOB on 2010-03-26 09:10:38
I was in Waterloo today and there were Marie Curie girls handing out daffs. I couldn't resist going over and talking to them - and they knew about you! What you are doing is dropping jaws everywhere (I am talking about the running not the al fresco weeing.) You are making history. x
Kate and Mabel on 2010-03-25 21:14:57
Go Hugh! We look forward to hearing what's been happening each evening. Well done on today's jog! Charles, Erin, Ursula & Edith.
Charles Wild on 2010-03-25 21:04:54
I do hope you've got rid of those broken biscuits...you have no idea how much we're all willing you to keep going. In fact I'm willing you so hard I may just burst a vein. Matt, and Samia keep on doing what you're doing - great team work. keep it up guys! xxx
Nix on 2010-03-25 19:33:52
You know the saying Hugh, "When the going gets tough ......". Be strong mate. Legions of support here and the Blue Peter style £-o-meter is looking very very good.
Phil H on 2010-03-25 19:04:33
I am so amazed at your dedication. Keep on running
Albert Kemp on 2010-03-25 18:37:07

Ros Woolf(sister) on 2010-03-25 16:41:50
Keep it up Hugh. Everyones in ore of this huge feat, you are truly mad. Watching every day. Olly and Emma.
Olly Dumas on 2010-03-25 14:07:23
Keep Going Hugh!!! Your are nearly halfway now - Freddie has made a little calendar and is marking off the days til you get home! I saw the end of Eddie Izzards marathons on TV and he was not doing great, unlike you - he didnt want to stay in ice bath for 15mins, after about 4 mins said he would get out but the camera was filming him so he wouldnt, you make an ice bath seem like a pleasant thing in your last video blog!! Well done and good luck!
Kirsty Odie on 2010-03-25 13:54:37
fancy a quick round?
captain fartz on 2010-03-25 13:51:59
I know I sound like your grandmother, but please will you try and getg more sleep - remember the hours before midnight are better than the hours after - apparently! We are just SO impressed by whast you are achieving, and thank you again to Matt and Samia for their enourmous contribtion. lol r, c and s xxx
rosey on 2010-03-25 12:45:48
You are doing so fantastic, thinking of you all the time with so much love and hope for your success. roy and nina
nina and roy coppard on 2010-03-25 11:36:45
We read your blogs every day - almost like being there (note the key word). Keep going - well done team - you are doing a fantastic job. Inspiring ! When in France you are on the home run. Keep going....
John & Gail Lees on 2010-03-25 09:51:14
Please dont consider the 20s as 'grey'. They are a celebration of what has already been achieved. Live each day in the present. Ups and downs! If you dont have the downs, the ups wouldnt seem like ups. Each day is first day of the rest of your life (as they say) YAAAAAAY! :-)
Karyn on 2010-03-25 08:36:39
Cannot believe that you have got so far and so still look so happy!! It is amazing. Keep going keep going keep going!! xx
Emily Bridge on 2010-03-25 08:29:56
Your morning routine sounds exhausting enough let alone the daily 26.2 miles! Keep gritting those teeth and push on. All so proud of you and the entire village is behind you......all 54 of them!! Lots of love S D and B xxx
Steppie, Dad and Bertie on 2010-03-25 08:27:53
Watched Eddie Izzard on TV and you put him to shame. His ice bath looked agony cant bare that you have to do that every day.! We are so so proud of you little brother and everyone is so impressed with what you are doing. Lots of Love Emily and Farts M and H xxx
emily Foden on 2010-03-25 08:11:02
I had my salsa class last night, so let's consider that a David Shepherd jig, and we'll be doing one in our minds off and on all day. Soon be out of the grey 20s and into the jaunty 30s. Well done, well done.
margaret and dick on 2010-03-25 07:53:01
Still in awe. Still in Melbourne. I've gone nowhere, you've gone 572 miles. Keep it up step-cousin.
Giles T on 2010-03-25 05:40:58
YOU ARE THE REAL SPECIAL ONE.
Jose Mourinho on 2010-03-24 21:38:55
GO HUGH. I heard about that strange "Jose Maria" character trying to tail you around Europe, but don't worry I'm sure you've shaken him from your path by now. Good luck for the second half (plus 3).
Tommy (NEPHEW) on 2010-03-24 21:12:13
£1 per marathon seems little enough, so looking forward to donating £50 in due course. If you make it, it will be PHENOMENOL effort. Been waqtching Eddie Izzard on his runs on the TV - the pain he put himself through! Good Luck Hugh! Rick and Carol ...... from Mayfield!
Rick and Carol Wotton on 2010-03-24 20:37:24
Wow - you are doing sooo well! I think of you when I run my 8kms in the gym every other day - you make me keep running as it seems so pathetic compared to your distance - keep going - fantastic achievement. Nearly half way now.
Emma Scholfield on 2010-03-24 20:10:20
It was great to catch up with Soph for lunch and to hear that all was going well on the road. Several enquiries after you in the village today too so please don't burn yourself out before you get here! XX
Jo on 2010-03-24 19:24:27
Incredible stuff. In addition to birth, death and paying tax, you running another marathon has just joined the list of lifes certainties! See you Saturday.

cyclists, motor cyclists and a marathon runner. Spain must be gob smacked. Go, Hugh, go.
margaret and dick on 2010-03-24 07:57:37
Hey! You're still going? Wow seems like ages since you were in Porto. Keep going! I never actually thanked you, Matt and Samia for the time I spent with you. I enjoyed it alot. only 30 more to go. Go Hugh! Josemaria (AKA Ze) (hope you recognize my name this time haha)
Josemaria AKA Ze on 2010-03-24 01:19:24
Hugh - checking your daily updates and I can say that all of St James's is full of admiration. However, it IS all starting to look, may be, a bit comfortable - you even made the ice bath look like a Jacuzzi in the last blog! Good luck sticking to the one beer a night regime with Toby and TIm joining the support crew this weekend. Hope to get out to see you en route soon. Really pleased to hear that the legs are taking the strain. All the best from Vincent.
Vincent on 2010-03-24 00:27:16
may i, on behalf of all Jack Russells, and in particularly the one that chased you, apologise for chasing you! He was obviously having a bad day - we are very friendly really, as you know! woofs and tailwag from your pal marathon dog
mawrathon dog on 2010-03-23 23:45:44
You are nearly half way - this is incredible. We are BURSTING with pride and everyone is behind you. I'm going to wear a daffodil every day from now on till day 50. xx
Kate and Mabel on 2010-03-23 20:12:29
I have run 6 London Marathons but never one after the other! I can't imagine what you are going through but KEEP GOING! I think it is an awesome challenge! You should feel really proud of what you are doing! also, all the very best to the support team!!!!
Nick Rose on 2010-03-23 14:34:41
We're wearing our daffodills today. Had to tell the lass selling them all about you. Not far now. Can't wait for next blog with news of today's doings.

You are doing a challenge that has our support and admeration but you are mad it must be so painful and those ice baths look terrible. Keep running we are there with you via computer. Look forward to a few pints together soon maybe in the Rose and Crown. Love and best wishes Roy and Nina
Nina and Roy Coppard on 2010-03-22 14:09:05
Hugh Preece Yma!! Incredibly proud of you, your legs are nearly as good as mine!! (Bertie) Keep running in the right direction maybe some map reading practice required! Lots of love x x
Dad and Bertie on 2010-03-22 12:02:41

Matt Foden on 2010-03-22 10:52:57
H, i think what your doing is wonderfully inspiring, as do so many people, i wish i could say that i could do it, but i simply couldn't, it takes someone very special, crazy, but special to take on board such a task. Keep going! Hope the wheathers fine. Much support and energy from the MacMullen crew! Paddy.
Patrick MacMullen on 2010-03-22 10:33:27
KEEP GOING UNCLE H!! practically half way now! you're doing amazingly! i've got your 50in50 card hanging proudly on my door at school! all the girls in my house wish you luck! you're a right nutter! lots of love, daisy p xxxxx
Daisy P on 2010-03-21 22:46:20
can hardly believe that you are now out of the teens and starting a new decade tomorrow - so incredibly proud of you - my main topic of conversation is your exploits , even to strangers in the Park! Matt and Samia, you are doing a fantastic supporting job. xxx
r cand s on 2010-03-21 22:41:32
H, there you are-you only went out for a pint of milk. What happened? The photos look suspiciously like North Wales. Are you actually abroad?
Johnny two guns on 2010-03-21 22:40:29
Simply awesome Hughbert. Just back from Chamonix where tales of your exploits raised more then the usual gallic shrug from some hardened ultra-endurance mountain types. Many bon mots and toasts your way. Allez Hugh!!
Phil H on 2010-03-21 21:45:09
I can't believe you're still going! Following your blogs with much interest. Good luck with day 20. Proud of you boy even tho your Welsh.

We popped to Weymouth this morning for a walk along the Esplanade and there they all were, lots of roller bladers. Now that's an idea for next time, Hugh and the team. Well done, keep going, even though it's a bad day. Easy enough for us to say...
margaret and Dick on 2010-03-21 13:53:11
Fab job again today. Claira has donated. Marie Curie helped her Dad when he was poorly. What you are doing is bettering lives. x
Kate and Mabel on 2010-03-21 13:49:26
Dear Matt and Hugh and Samia You are all doing such an amazing Fund Raising effort for Marie Curie. A local friend very sadly died last night from Cancer but the family were wonderfully helped by the local MC nurse during these last very difficult days. The nurses do an amazing un-sung job everywhere. Keep up the hard physical slog!!
Hilary Richards on 2010-03-21 11:03:38
Hi Hugh, I hope that you are doing well, I will call you early next week for a chat, hope the injury lelts up, i know you can do it mate, just keep thinking about why your doing all of this and all the people you are helping by doing it, amazing mate, talk soon, Mark
Mark Cooper on 2010-03-21 10:12:41
Hi Hugh, I did a three Hour Bile Ride to Hells Gate in Kenya today- then a two hour walk in the Gorge- nothing cmapared to your chakkenge- hope the trip to the Doctor was positive- keep going- Ciaran
Ciaran Beary on 2010-03-20 19:12:56
glad to see you eating abit of lunch! Stripper tried to emulate you while we were out by finding her food supply and eating through most of it - she now looks 10 months pregnant and not at all like marathon dog! No food for her to-night, but masses for you I hope xxxx
rosey on 2010-03-20 16:30:16
I am so proud to have you as a Godfather. I am running 3 miles tomorrow for Sports Relief so sort of knowing what you are going through... if I am struggling to run it I will just think of you and how fantastically well you are doing... keep going... Love Archie
Archie Attfield on 2010-03-20 13:14:46
Hi Hugh , I was busy spreading the word about you , on Ladies Day at Cheltenham on Thursday , again, people think that it is wonderful of you to attempt this challenge for Marie Curie As I drove through Brighton this morning ,I saw loads of people jogging getting in practice for the marathon .which will be four days before you finish , its a nice flat route , and you will finish Hugh , I am sure, be strong x Wendy
wENDY CARPENTER on 2010-03-20 12:44:13
So glad it was a good day. Hope the 'sort of' injury is responding to Samia's tender care. Keep going, it's so worthwhile and a real example of guts and giving.
margaret and Dick on 2010-03-20 11:14:16
Heard about your amazing feat from Jonny, Phil and Rupert who are here for the weekend. Well done. Keep running! Will now follow the blog with much interest.

3JOB on 2010-03-19 15:36:15
Hi Hugh just seen your last blog hope you are ok? You are doing so well thinking of you and keep us informed xx
sarah richardson on 2010-03-19 15:25:13
Come on Chap you are doing a superb job! There is no way that you can let a little inflamation scare you off completing this huge challenge. Time for yet another run for the team. Perhaps Matt can do a whole one for the team too?? Well Done Chaps !! Stirling effort all round.
Philip Richards on 2010-03-19 15:14:49
Keep going Hugh! I'm hoping to see you in London as Rufus & Emily think I should join you as they have to work! Mel (Rufus' cousin)
Melissa on 2010-03-19 14:57:45
Thank goodness its only inflammation. Go carefully.... but GO... don't stop! WELL DONE to Matt and Samia too for looking after Hugh so well. Am envious of not seeing those "random places". They sound idyllic.
Karyn on 2010-03-19 13:09:00
We've been following you today and hope your leg gets better. (Your sister-in- law is our teacher.) Don't give up! Aim high is our motto.
3NJF on 2010-03-19 11:43:28
Go H go. Have followed you avidly from the otherside of the world but back now and cheering hard. You are showing real welsh grit and determination!! So proud of you.You can do it. Loads of love xxxx
Steppie on 2010-03-19 11:07:40
Oh Hugh, you had us worried there, so glad that it's not a fracture. Just spoke to Soph and we agreed we are VERY proud of you!! You are truly amazing! Mum was listening to Chris Evans this morning and they were talking about Eddie Izzard's efforts and she was shouting at the radio..."But it's not 50 marathons in 50 days is it"!! Everyone is wishing you well. Loads of love xxx
Siany on 2010-03-19 10:29:25
Run Hugh Run! You can do it!
3SFS on 2010-03-19 10:29:07
Glad to see you didn't break your leg (not that that would have stopped you), hope you find out how to manage it.
Charlie Bridge on 2010-03-19 10:01:47

Kate Pain on 2010-03-18 22:05:09
Samia traduce a Hugh, por favor: Somos Diego y Marian de la tienda Movistar, dale animos a Hugh, la verdad es que lo que esta haciendo es propio de un loco o de un genio, ya llevais 15 dias y estais en Betanzos, desde Lisboa, es de locos... De verdad, que gran hazaña. La cosa va bien, pero que muy bien, animo, mucho animo y muchas fuerzas para el camino que te queda. Desde aqui os seguiremos con mucho cariño, un saludo a todos (y tendre que practicar mi ingles para que no tengas que traducirme, gracias Samia y animo a ti tambien). Venga que el 25 ya esta ahi!!
Diego y Marian From a Movistar Shop on 2010-03-18 22:03:30
Ola Guapo! Glad the drama today wasnt a drama in the end. I'm just astonished at your stamina. I went running for 20 mins yesterday and got shin splints and a torn upper quad muscle and crippling blisters and have coloured plasters all over my legs just like you and my physio told me to just take it easy and have a glass of wine so I did. x
nix on 2010-03-18 19:31:05
Lots of good luck from Leppington. Your Pa is getting more proud every day.
Sue Elsey on 2010-03-18 19:26:58
The ops room just gets better with all the updates. We're loving the saga. Looks like Jamie and I are coming to meet up with you on 29th March. What can we bring you from the UK? We are planning a massive party at fantastic venue by westminster, and have just designed some awesom caps to give out to people at the party... We're all behind you, Hugh, so proud of what you're achieving and proud to sponsor this adventure. But please, for X's sake, listen to Samia! Lxx
Laurence Borde on 2010-03-18 19:23:40
Human Hugh, you're doing brilliantly. You WILL succeed , your body is in the swing of things now . You're a little jack russell just like me, once you get your teeth into something God help it ! Lots of twitter & facebook friends worldwide loving what you're doing and in complete awe. Are Samia and Matt going to navigate and physio for me on the 50th ? All the best, woof ! x
Marathondog on 2010-03-18 18:47:54
well done little brother. we are all very proud of you. Looks like you need to eat more , your looking very thin in the face and 10 years younger not surprising with all those miles under your belt. E x
emily Foden on 2010-03-18 18:20:33
Hope you are looking after those teeth, We insist on a big smile as you cross that final line.Maybe even see you there!! Ohhhhmmm.

Stuart on 2010-03-18 16:30:23
Hugh, you are doing an amazing job and a real inspiration to those of us in the office training for the London Marathon. You've got more people following you than you probably realize! Keep going!
Patrick, WSM Sponsorship on 2010-03-18 14:29:52
Like Cesar we don't know how it's possible, but you are making it so. Think of all the people you are inspiring let alone all the dosh you are raising and know that all is well. Keep going, soon it will be over halfway and I daresay you'll be hoping it doesn't end. It's just such a huge thing to do that to end it will be very strange. Here, spring seems to have arrived. Margaret
margaret graham on 2010-03-18 14:15:16
Hugh you are doing a fantastic job and i really can't thank you enough , watching your reports daily you are offically mad and my scary countdown is dawning on me, Arghhh!!! can't wait to see to in brighton to show you our real support :-) keep running Hugh and thank you so much for supporting us xx

A very belated message of support - well done Team Hugh, we're avidly following your progress each day and most impressed by what you are achieving. Matt keep up the blogging - most entertaining. Well done on the navigational front too!
Anna and Rupert Cowling on 2010-03-18 12:04:30
So by now you must be thinking what a wonderful idea this was, no? As I'm not of the modern age of Twitter and Facebook, I am following your adventure by good old-fashioned internet. Go for it hun, you are doing such an amazing job and just think how your languages will be improving!!! Big hug from EJ and Matt xx
Emma Jane Wheatley on 2010-03-18 10:11:30
No surprise to hear you are directionally challenged! Looking forward to seeing you next week with the film crew. The girls are still running around naked at bath time - clearly you are an inspiration from the young to the not so young.
toby marden on 2010-03-18 08:24:23
You're doing so well. Well done. (poor demoralised cyclists though!!)

Kate Pain on 2010-03-16 10:17:15
Every morning i hear your voice on the radio with your update before you start a new day. You're an amazing man and have motivated me to go do and volunteer for MC. You've probably motivated many like me. Your passion shouts volumes..... Wher would people like me be without people like you ?.. Lead on my friend.
Trev H on 2010-03-16 09:35:18
Another day dawns, and you'll be off again. It defies imagination. It's a bit like writing a book. The beginning is OK and the end is great, but the middle is the problem! Page by page, and day by day for you. You're doing it. It's magnificent. Margaret and Dick
margaret and Dick on 2010-03-16 08:00:21
I bow to your supreme fitness and strength of character. Unbelievable challenge. Remarkable man. Following you and marathondog on Twitter and thoroughly enjoying doing so. Keep on doing what you're doing and I'm having what you're having. Best wishes to a true inspiration. Hope you raise lots of money for Marie Curie.

samantha griffiths on 2010-03-15 19:07:15
Bloody marvellous, and what an inspiration you have become to so many. Enjoy the Tapas on this stretch. The chorizo is Spain does wonders, they say, for muscle and tendon injuries! Keep going! A special salute - or equivalent - from another Hugh, born to daughter Juliet last Monday. Love from Lis and me.
Nick Reynolds on 2010-03-15 18:54:25
Hugh I am most impressed with your achievements so far. And here I am worried about climbing Kili! You are a real inspiration to all of us. I wish you every success with your challenge. Go for it you can do it.
Malcolm from Peugeot in Canterbury on 2010-03-15 18:50:22

rosey kingzett on 2010-03-15 17:39:34

rosey kingzett on 2010-03-15 17:37:02
This is serious ultra running - well done!
Sher Kent on 2010-03-15 14:53:16

Tracey Kendall on 2010-03-15 14:26:41
Hugh, you are an inspiration to all of us just starting out on the fundraising challenges, .....Amazing, !!!! x
Christine Vant on 2010-03-15 12:55:32

WENDY CARPENTER on 2010-03-13 10:33:20

Long days, as Matt says, but we're following you every step of the way. Glad the family are with you.

Lisa Corfield on 2010-03-12 17:52:31
Go Hugh! You're an inspiration - a bonkers one but still an inspiration! We're all rooting for you here at MCCC - it's making us all work that bit harder knowing there's people out there prepared to go to such lengths to support the work we do for people. Take care and good luck!

I think what you're doing is absolutely amazing and you're doing it for an fabulous charity. Good for you - keep going!
Mandy Johnson on 2010-03-12 16:48:33
I work at the referral centre for MCCC and speak to Patients/Familys daily, knowing that there are people like you out there to help us support these people in their hour of need is a pure inspiration, I did the Race for Life last year after sheading 3 stone and that was a huge achievment for me but you just blow that into insignificance. Keep up the excellant work you have inspired me to keep training and I will be doing the 20mile for MCCC in July again Nothing compared to this mamouth task you are doing. Well Done Again
Lynne Ivin on 2010-03-12 16:34:11
Good work fella! I did the London Marathon 5 years ago but that's nothing compared to what you're doing! I work for MCCC too and it's a great cause. All the best.

Hi Hughie - well done so far but mind those potholes. Tob being at peak fitness will be able to run ahead and mark them out for you. Otti and Georgie watched a video clip and ran around naked at bathtime shouting running running - apparently they were copying you but I am yet to find your naked blog. Off to make a cake love ness xx
Ness Marden on 2010-03-12 13:55:30
Dear Hugh, Great to hear you are going so well. Watched the opposition on tv last night - Eddie Izzard he was much slower than you!!. Tobs is just booking his flight, not sure he will be able to keep up with you. Thinking of you. Bec xxxx
Bec Hill & all at Northwest Farm on 2010-03-12 13:37:43
I am not sure what is happening to you Hugh but you look about 21 now ! What are you washing in ?

Pete G on 2010-03-11 15:17:43
Hugh, I am just back from the Sport Relief £1million cycle and was delighted to see how well you are dooing - it looks a little warmer in Portugal than it was up Glen Coe! Keep up the good work - you are an inspiration to all. Greg
Greg Whyte on 2010-03-11 13:57:10
Well, how do you do it. I had a long walk, and then another salsa lesson yesterday and feel like lying in a darkened room right now. I'm sad the 'morning vicar' look has gone, but am sure it's much better for you to progress to the lope of the long distance runner. I pass on the news to all friends, and they pass on their awestruck cheers for you. So on behalf of about 100 old ducks and drakes, keep going, we're with you in spirit. And it's certainly raised our exercise game. You're an example to us all. Margaret
margaret graham on 2010-03-11 13:16:58
HP - you're doing amazingly! Had a few beers in your honor last night.. Talk of the town

Hugh - I'm absolutely in awe of you. You've come so far since the days when the only marathons we did were drinking ones! Keep your pecker up and may the wind be always at your back. Thinking of you everyday mate.

Fantastic start Hugh. Inspiring stuff for us novices working towards 21/4. Keep the spirits up and the fluids down.
Phil Hopley on 2010-03-09 22:47:29
Your progress is discussed and dissected in disbelief as we stroll around Battersea Park with Marathondog. Keep up the good work. Don't hit that wall, leap over it.
Debbie Loftus on 2010-03-09 20:59:12
HUGH! hope day six has not dampened your spirits too much :) TBH though would u rather be running 26 miles a day or struggling to wake for your 3pm afternoon lecture :P much love Xx

Hugh- watching you every step of the way... and of course, hearing Samia's sideof the story!! Keep it up, and ignore the injuries - we can deal with them afterwards!!
Gillian Coates on 2010-03-09 17:40:24

Hugh you are doing well! I am hoping to run three legs with you in France! Hope to meet you soon and run with you. My warmest regards to all your lovely Team :-)
Nikos on 2010-03-09 13:14:42
I am logging on every day. Thinking of you all throughout. Even ran three days on the trot in your honour (all were a pathetically low distance). What you are doing defies belief. But if anyone can do it.... xx
Kate Pain on 2010-03-09 12:59:02
Hey Hugh and team! I'm an old friend of Samia's and have been looking at some of your blogs and watching your progress with great interest, namely because I hear someone has a worse sense of direction than Samia! I'm stoked that you are hitting your targets and making the magic happen- its an amazing thing you're doing. Warmest wishes and above all good luck!!! Sylvia
Sylvia Niemojewska on 2010-03-09 10:27:17

Just think of the time when the steaks really are steaks! Keep running towards that goal. Loving the blogs and videos. Makes me feel as though I should at least trot when walking the Westie so inspiring is this 50in50. Keep fit, please, both of you. Margaret

Jonny Hills on 2010-03-08 23:46:06
As a runner, I can't tell you how uplifting it is to have people cheering for us as we ran by and even more important to have family and friends out there wishing us well as we ran by. Good luck Hugh , you can do it . See you in London .

the bride, upon her engagement, went to her mother and said, "I've found a man just like father!" Her mother replied, "So what do you want from me, sympathy?"
