My hero

Campbell decided he wanted to run the 5 barrier fun run today. Which involves running (or walking) from the mainland across the 4 Churchill barriers and back across the 4th one to finish in Burray.

All sorts of people did the 10km race, in aid of Amnesty International, from the serious sports runners to people walking with their dogs. I was most impressed with the kids, who all finished in good style.

Campbell, managed to finish in 1hr and 40 minutes. He had hoped to do better but he took a tumble at one point (losing his water bottle and emergency flapjack down a ditch), then had to change his shoes because they were hurting his feet. He's never done anything like this before and found it tough. He did walk a good part of the route but being pretty dugged there was no way was he giving in until the finish line.

I couldn't be prouder if he'd won a marathon!
