Stepping up the pace

What have I noticed since my last message to you…my training seems to be on the increase. Not like ‘I could swear I was only here yesterday’ when in the gym, more like – my trainer seems to be under the impression I’m running to and up Kilimanjaro!
Goodness me, out of breath at my training most definitely. But there’s out of breath and then there’s out……of ……………….breath!

Having a different trainer for a week was good, challenging, at times the voice in my head said ‘you do know this isn’t physically possible’. To which I replied, ‘oh do shut up and get on with it’ which I did!

Five and half months till departure and we’re on track. In fact I received an email from the British Heart Foundation yesterday updating me on training, packing lists, training weekends etc. Yes the reality is setting in; when I think about the challenge ahead I think it’s safe to say it’s rather daunting. So, I don’t think about…just train and go day to day! 

Andy, deep breaths and prayers will get me through. Oh and thick socks and good boots!
