The 39-year-old long-distance runner has now completed over 600 miles of the ultra-tough event. And on her website, Sharon, who is asthmatic, revealed how she was coping with the six-week long slog. She wrote last week: "521 miles now done. Was a lot milder last night which helped my breathing and am thinking of getting a face mask to combat the car exhaust fumes. "We had champagne and cake at the 500 mile mark followed by a meal. "It was a busy day all round with medicals and drug testing taking up most of our time, but it was a good landmark to reach." Former bus driver Sharon, who competes for Teesside's New Marske Harriers, started the Flora 1000 Miles event on March 2 along with five other competitors, and will finish the challenge by running the London Marathon. They are snatching what sleep they can in a converted London bus which is following their progress. Sharon wrote yesterday: "Looking forward to a roast beef dinner on my return." You can catch
up on how Sharon is doing on www.1000milechallenge.com.
