Jamaica was the scene for today's running scene re-enactment. I didn’t have a push cart to hand so had to make do with a shopping trolley. Travelling at speed with a two wheeled shopping trolley was surprisingly difficult with the wheels having a mind of there own as they bumped over the gravelly pathway.

Today's running scene takes me to Tegg's Nose for my replication of the 'Going on an adventure' run from the Hobbit. 

The third of the running scenes takes me to Tatton Park for the steps outside Tatton Hall. These are for the re-enactment of the 'Rocky Steps' scene with the 72 stone steps leading up to the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The filming of this scene was done on the second attempt after making my way down to the Tatton Park gardens the week earlier only to find that they had closed up 20 minutes earlier.

For the re-enactment of the 'Chariots of Fire' running scene I headed down to Southport beach. While the sunset looks fantastic, the weather conditions were somewhat different. A barefoot run in icy cold waters at the start of January wasn't the smartest thing I did today, and that's not mentioning the blustery winds and the running on shells that pierced into my feet as I strode across the beach. While I was absolutely frozen by the time the filming was completed, it was a great day and Lexi (my pooch) loved the day out to the beach too.

The Forest Gump scene was chosen as I thought that it was an iconic running scene that started an Epic run. I'm not sure I will match the 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours that Forest Gump ran for, but the road ahead is long for me and I have one hell of a distance to cover to complete my challenge.
