So this week was mainly spent in the gym. A little drowning in aqua fit, a little kicking and torture in boxercise and then a couple of gym sessions.
The original plan to attempt Edale again was once more ruined by horrendous weather forecast. So rather than do nothing we did a 9 mile circular walk around Carsington. It rained but was more sheltered than the tor!
Not happy to get a blister on my toe hmmm, better concentrate on the foot toughening!
Final injections now done and presciptions sent off. 4 weeks on weds, it will fly!
People are being amazing in their support with sponsors. Strangers and friends are all so generous and already I find it emotional when they send such lovely messages of support.
I asked Lucy how emotional she found it up Kili and she said its intensified, all these kind messages and sponsors are remembered as you climb.
I've hit and changed my target for Teenage Cancer, originally it was £500 but currently I have £660 on line and Bowel Cancer UK is up to £1210 with a target of £1500. Off line I have nearly £400 in sponsors so this trip, which I always knew it would be, is very very worth while. Some cynics have said why not just donate the cost of the trip but that would never happen and people wouldn't dig deep without such a personal challenge. I can't wait (yet am starting to get nervous!)
Team hats are now out!! not sure about me in mine!!!
