Well its mid way through June and on 30th I will be in the Gobi desert in Mongolia on the starting line for my marathon a day for 6 days race. Hopefully by then my pack will not feel so heavy and my bottles will not be swinging!!. I am nearly ready.. I am as fit as I can be..well put it this way..there is nothing I can do to improve it now..what is that saying.."if you can't go in trained..go in rested!!" I have all my kit and can just about fit it into my pack..I have to carry my sleeping bag, sleeping mat , first aid and wash kit and all my food for 6 days! I have been wearing my desert shoes complete with bright orange gaiters in my training in the Cotswold hills..yes I am that funny looking person wobbling accross the common!!
I am exceedingly grateful to the support of my office colleagues (without their firm support and back up my participation in this event would not be possible) and my wonderful clients and friends whose very generous donations will keep going and make all my blisters (and there will be many) worth while.
