Hurt2Help are running the TransAlpineRun 2010!

This September our husband and wife team will retrace the footsteps of Hannibal:

296km - 8 Days - 17700m Ascent - Across Germany, Austria and Italy.

All in aid of Facing Africa, a little-known British charity concerned with the prevention and cure of the merciless disease Noma.

Their surgical rehabilitation of survivors is heartbreakingly wonderful and more than worthy of buckets of our sweat in the hope of filling buckets with your donations!

We are Shelley and Gav Phillips. Follow our journey ..

Runnin' laps of TGV ..

First run of this 3 day weekend all done and dusted for me before the heat of the day really whacked up to unbearable.


25km round and round the compound went surprisingly quickly with a little Michel Thomas going on via my rather sweaty iPod.


Luckily I am now done.


My boy is not so lucky as his is yet to do post work and the mercury in Tabuk is at 44°C and still rising .. ouch!


PS Super pikelets with Missie Jodster were perfect carbo-reloading for me .. ready to run again tomorrow!



Go here for a great video trailer of our adventure!
