About time I started this I guess.

Now only 2 more training weekends left until we depart for Lands End and begin what still seems like 14 days of sheer hell.  Nevertheless I'm determined to enjoy what will be my first 2 full weeks away from the business since I got involved with Pete and Concept some 11 years ago.

This extended weekend has seen me cover almost 150 miles across three runs. Thanks to the Royal Wedding and a further Bank Holiday there's another 4 training days ahead, after which I'm just leaving things to fate.  Shheesh if I'm not ready now I never will be!

Still much to be sorted - the Scottish routes for one, plus I have a ton of cycle gear to get sussed.  More to follow.

I promise to try and keep this Blog reasonably updated prior to leaving (once we are actually doing the trip, it shouldn't be a problem because what the hell else will there be to do once the days exertions have been completed?)

So now to bed, a bit tired but pleased to report that my recovery rate is exactly as I hoped it would be by this stage of my training schedule.

Oh and by the way, anyone that hasn't dropped a tenner into the sponsorship page, really should do - you'll get your money's worth of Bowes blood sweat and tears...I promise!
