We're over 200 kilometres south of Lima, and I'm running 90-plus
kilometres a day. I break the distance up into ive-hour chunks, run-
ning 15 hours a day. Add meal breaks and media obligations onto

night. I've been on an emotional downer after talking to Mum and
the family. The only thing brightening my outlook is the arrival of my
children next month.
