"Turning into a long 16-hour day. Out to Blue Lakes now and back. Feeling sore. Holding up. Had a lot of food at 70km.
"Thanks to Heather Andrews for chatting before. I better get moving. It's head lamp material I'm afraid. Felt awful at half way point though had to pull through. It's not easy as I've picked all the hilly parts."
The beach run on Sunday was difficult as Litt was not feeling well after such a late finish in Rotorua and blisters adding to her constant Achilles pain.
Soft sand and sore feet, plus large numbers of people on the beach enjoying the sweltering conditions, added to the drama. But she got through it and will need every ounce of her superior mental strength to push on to reach her target today.
Litt's goal is to raise $1000 for Shine, New Zealand's largest single domestic abuse organisation. After what she has put herself through it would be a travesty if not enough people supported her.
