It's been a while too

Like Martin, it's been a while since I last updated our blog. I've been lurching from one minor niggle to another over the last few months. I think that running 50K in February did more damage than I acknowledged at the time. Chances of lasting 100K....? Um....

This last week has proved my most consistent and productive for some time. I've walked 29 miles and run 36.5 over the last 7 days:

Mon - walk 11 miles

Tue - walk 8 miles, run 5 miles

Wed - walk 10 miles

Thu - run 6.5 miles

Fri - run 10.5 miles

Sat - run 7.5 miles

Sun - run 7 miles

I think the training is the relatively "easy" bit of Trailwalker though. We have had fantastic support on the fundraising front recently, so thank you very much to everyone who has sponsored the team. We still have a number of logistical challenges to resolve, such as who is actually on the support team, when are we starting, where are we staying prior to the start, and just what time do the pubs close in Brighton on a Saturday night?

More to follow soon.... thanks again for all your support.

been a while since the last one...

Training has taken a slight back-seat during 3 weeks holiday, unless you count walking up Cumbrian hills with a 2 year old on your back, which I probably should.
Back in the gym/ running to the office from Kings Cross is back on the agenda now though, and I'm in the mid-20s miles a week at the moment.
Michael did a route recce last week and ran the first leg out and back, I do hope he's not expecting us to run when we've got a good 20/ 18 hours ahead of us...!

Many thanks to all who have sponsored us, we're up to £415 at the last count before gift aid, against a £2000 target. We're getting there!
