He notes the distance, the foggy and muddy conditions, his progress having just passed checkpoint three, and his determination to continue despite the discomfort, emphasizing that the effort is for a good cause.

So for those of you that know me, this is a bit of an unusual run. I don't really like getting myself muddy, but a friend of mine's doing a fundraiser this morning, 17k cross-country. I think she's doing 26 and some of her friends are doing 26, but that's too much for me. Anyway, so I'm doing the 17. I'm out here in the arse end of nowhere, and as you can see, I've got quite muddy. Tried to clean myself off on some grass, but I've given up on being a bit pretentious about that. So just thought I'd check in. It is glorious out here though, even though I can't actually see anything very much because it's so fucking foggy. But anyway, she's laid out a load of checkpoints. I've just done checkpoint 3. I've got a shedload more to do, so I shall now zip off and carry on with my little run. I'll see you later, but it's all for a good cause. Bye!
