Well it's just over a week and a half to go and training is really peaking now. Last night I comfortably did just over 20 miles in under an hour and a half through Haresfield, Harescomb and Brookthorpe which incorpates some really steep terrain. In total I have done over 80 miles in the past 4 days and I feel fitter than I have since I was a teenager. With that in mind I'm confident I can go under 5 hours for the Jersey trip now.
Fundraising is going really well too. By the end of this week I should have crashed through the £1500 barrier as I have two large donations that should be in the coffers by then. One of them is my share of the profits from our Ska night which was an absolute blast. Ska'd were everything I had heard they would be and had the whole place skanking. Brilliant!! We made £920 profit on the night and, as posted here before, Dizzie's share will be going to Cancer Research. I have to thank Dizzie for all her hard work in organising this gig. She worked really hard and is a real star.
At home the reality that Charlie is starting school in September kicked in with the arrival of his new uniform. He looked very handsome. I also took him to see the Tweenies at the everyman on Friday and, I'm not ashamed to say, really enjoyed it. He was totally enthralled and had a whale of a time.
Harvey has learnt the art of retaliation and Charlie isn't finding it as much fun to push him around any more!! Harvey continues to astound us with his size though - he is sturdy to say the least!!
