Good day to you all
If you were expecting me in an 80's peroxide perm singing with a Swedish accent, I'm sorry to dissapoint you. you're humming the tune right now aren't you ?!!!
This is a different final countdown, this is the countdown to my "holiday" 12 days of sun & good times in the Lake District.
I did my final warm up marathon on Sunday @ the Shakespeare marathon in beautiful Stratford On Avon, I went cunningly disguised as the King, Elvis & ran with My "Fetchie" Friend Lorraine, it was a great day & I really enjoyed her company out there & managed to get some valuable training on my Elvis impersonating - there was alot of "Thank You very Much" & I even on request burst into a bit of suspcious minds, jailhouse rock & all shook up !!!
I did get some lovely comments as i ran round, One of the St Neots girls said "Aren't you hot ?" I thanked her for the compliment & commented "you don't look bad yourself love !"
In usual style accompanied by my "Co-pilot" Lorraine we flew across the finish line a fraction over 5 hours 30 mins, was a great day out & I got meet lots of friends, New "Fetchies" & even fellow 10 in 10 ers (TiT's as we are abbreviated to - which may be very apt ?!!)
Just a fraction over a week to go now & the training is easing down, running just once a day & eating whatever I can find !!!
Many thanks to everyone for their wonderful support both with the fundraising & the training.
A very special thanks has to go to my lovely wife Tracy, she has been a wonderful support as I have been out almost every night in 2009 pounding the streets & lovely lakes of Bletchley & Milton Keynes & allowing me to complete day 10 of the challenge on American mothers Day :) She'll be rewarded with plenty of Kendall mint cake :)
Best wishes
Foxy Davy :)
