Origins of The Marathon Snail

The name of my blog originated from Ben Nimmo's book, Pilgrim Snail: a truly inspiring, moving story of a young man driven by personal tragedy to walk from Canterbury to Santiago de Compostela. He raised a significant amount for charity by busking with his trombone along the way. This marathon journey, accompanied by many blisters, has stayed with me over the years and I truly recommend reading it, at once.*

* Disclaimer: this book may cause severe itchiness of the feet and an uncontrollable urge to travel. It is not recommended for non-passport holders or heavily pregnant women.

P.S. I have not been updating my blog, because I have been busy running. I am a runner, after all.
