Okay, so I’m signed up to this and my wife is too. It’s just the goal I need to get into shape and challenge myself.
But reality is slowly starting to hit. Did I really say we’d run the whole way? Can we walk? And do it in two weeks? Can we drive some of the way?
Crap. I’ve got to get fit. Properly fit.
I went for a “test run” this morning to the shops for some milk and to see what sort of shape I was in. I took the long way round so it was, ooh, half a mile and I was knackered. Worse than that was the fact that it was mentally hard! As soon as I started I’m fighting the voice in my head saying, just walk, go on you don’t need to run, you’ve plenty of time to get fit…
I was pleased that I fought on for my half a mile and didn’t stop. That’s good news I guess. The bad news is that I’ll need to be able to run 52 times that far, every day for 6 days.
Shit!
