where has all the time gone?

It seems only the day before yesterday that Michael was calling me to ask if I'd do Trailwalker with him, and did I know anyone else daft enough to make a team of 4?

Now it's only one week to go before we assemble at the Queen Elizabeth Country Park ready for a 6AM blast-off on Saturday 16th.

Just 100km then stands between us and our goal, and I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to the finish line at Brighton racecourse.

I don't doubt that there's a fair amount of pain to go through first, of course, although there are a few things that will keep us going:

• there's the 490 km that I've covered in training since mid-February (and I don't doubt that my team-mates have put in more!)

• we've got a great team - the 4 run/walkers plus our support crew -  who have bonded very well over recent months, in spite of limited time together

• And most importantly there's the support - both sponsorship and encouragement - that all of you have given. You've now raised  £1,922 with every chance of hitting the £2,000 target before we start.

So huge thanks to everyone, especially the anonymous givers who we haven't been able to thank personally.

I'm intending to tweet (battery and coverage permitting) so you can follow our progress. Updates will probably be about which checkpoint we're arriving at and of course a stream of updates on injuries sustained to date.
If you really want to follow us my twitter id is Martw00 - and of course encouragement via twitter in return will be much appreciated, especially in the small hours!

Thanks for reading, for support, for donations.

Post-event update to follow, meantime we've got some work to do....
