We're heading for Venus !!
Ok so we're not heading for Venus but very soon the 13 Gladiators tackling the 10 in 10 will be heading off on day one of the 10 marathon challenge in the lake district.
Just 2 days to go before I can rekindle my love affair with Britains largest & most beautiful lake.
this time tomorrow i will spend 3 & half hours riding on a Virgin :) the train folks - what were you thinking ?!! smutty minds :)
This time will be different, last year I vaguely knew a few of the guys having met them for a few minutes at races earlier in the year. This time round I know most of the guys, 5 of whom are returning to the 10 in 10 for the second,third or even fourth time & "Charlie's Angels" (Naomi,Anna & Heather are at just about every marathon i do !)
The build up to this & the training has not been ideal due to injuries but once stood on the start line in Clappersgate that will all be forgotten as I head off in search of the Steam train & pub at Newby bridge at 12 miles before the turn for home through Bowness, past the waters Edge pub & this time remembering to turn left at the Rugby club (note to Heather !!) for the half a mile grind up the hill to the finish.
I now have to pack for every possible weather condition - shorts & t-shirts or snow shoes & ice axe ? - after coming home in hail the first 3 days & getting sunburnt on day 4 last year anything can happen ?!!!
I'm now just £100 short of my £2000 fundraising goal & if anyone "got any spare change mister ?" can help i would be most grateful.
