Good determination and guts
Anyone notice that he turns his right foot out as he runs, with his left foot going vaguely straight?

Yes I did notice that, its truly amazing a serious leg injury hasn't put him out
He's can't be as fragile as some of us!

So what did you all think of Episode 2 then??
I was really glued to It... as It showed Eddie running through the worst weather conditions being faced with at Castle Douglas which Is just 50 Miles away from my hometown of Stranraer in Dumfries And Galloway! Then It showed him on the "Notorious" A75 Newton-Stewart To Stranraer road which Is one of the worst roads in the UK for Traffic-Accidents and being conjested with Lorrys/Tractors etc! On a terible road!! He had to get a Police Escort... I have Run that full distance before at 3am In pitch black -9 Temperatures and no light or an Aid of an escort before! Made me proud that I actually managed that now....!!!
He then arrived in Stranraer(My Town!) then he Run through the Stenaline Ferry Car-Park(MY WORK!!!) and straight onto the boat that I work on, 'The Stena HSS Voyager' to sail over to Belfast where he then headed for Bangor first.
I was actually working Onboard that day on the Ferry In the 1ST Class Lounge (Stena + ) And I served Eddie a nice double burger for good Protein into his Diet!
His Camera Crew had Filmed a bit around the boat though shame they didn't add all of It, or me speaking to Eddie about Running!
Im Loving It every Thursday and roll on Next Thurs now again to we see him on his Final Journey around the UK!
P.S, I loved It when It showed him running side by side with the two neds! LOL, I was expexting a bottle of buckfast In one of there hands!!
Good Stuff Eddie, You have def Inspired me....
Rossco.

Started watching it this morning and only saw the first 2 marathons of this episode... his toe is looking pretty damn manky  I'm suprised they have tried taping the toes to prevent friction (as this is obviously what's causing the problem).
