Home on the Heath - 10 Days to go!!!!!!


What a georgous weekend. The knee is feeling on the edge of doing something nasty so the training on the extended weekend was restircted to mainly running around squidgy Petersfield heath by my Mum's house. Lovely to just run around and around the lake, up past the quaint cricket ground, into the copse, past the old barrows and round the big dog leg corner to start another lap.


All in all probably 11 2km laps, a bit on a running machine and a couple of scrappy rounds of golf was not a bad return - AND THE KNEE HELD!!

Back to the grindstone that is work and tonight I managed a 10km. It is really weird. With so little time to the big day, a stark reduction in socialising to avoid the drink and the lass I spend my life with away, life seems to be on hold. Having to work this weekend, so all there is ahead is work and then the BIG DAY - it is clear what is the shining light in that scenario - I can not wait!!

The mall is within sight - metaphorically speaking!

From there 2 sets of progress. Firstly, presuming the knee holds, a target time of 3:45 (so to try and go under 4:00). Secondly, and far more importantly, major progress on the fundraising front. Thanks to some great friends the rough totals are as follows:

Circa:
460km
$1000
