Of training, posts & marathons.

 Hi everybody, sorry the updates haven't been coming but there has been so much going on leaving limited time out to blog. Rest assured they will be regular & frequent once we get underway. I  managed to get a run in with David at the weekend which was great, a nice steady 15.5 miles with the backpack, 2 ltrs of fluids & various other trip related bits & pieces. We ran out around the country lanes in a circular route through Withersfield, Thurlow, Barnadiston, Chimney street and eventually back home via Kedington.
      We have got so much stuff to sort out as we have only 19 days and counting.... boy has that time gone fast!
     David & myself are running a marathon this Sunday 12th June, it’s called the “poppyline marathon” it is held in Norfolk with the start at Sheringham. It’s what we call a test run with all the kit that we expect to be running with when we go for real so don’t be expecting any record breaking times appearing anywhere soon! It’s actually a LDWA (long distance walkers association) route but they are more than happy for runners to take part. Rumour has it that we get hot and cold drinks on route and even home baked cake at the end! what more can you ask for the tiny entry fee of £6?

That’s it for today....promise to be back very soon.
