Finally, a chance to briefly update the blog having returned from a busy but very relaxing UK holiday with Rosie.
Despite being on 'holiday' last week, I still managed to get some all important training in:
Firstly, visiting an old favourite training ground of mine the Peak District- blasting around Kinder Scout before heading south (VERY south!) and exploring the beautiful countryside of Kent, finally meeting up with Adam for him to prove he is in great shape by pushing me hard over a three hour run in the undulating Downs.
The week was capped off with a lovely evening with Adam's friends Paul and Sam - AKA "Team Hampshire Hobblers". With four of the five people around the dinner table very much looking forward to being on the start line in 3 weeks time, it is fair to say Rosie had to endure a lot of TransAlpine related conversation!
I have been inspired by the London Olympics and having experienced the incredible atmosphere and insane pedigree of athletes first hand at the mens Marathon, I now cannot wait for our own adventure to start!
Final plans are coming together, the last hard training sessions are imminent and the excitement is most certainly building.
With less than three weeks to go the TransAlpine Run now seems very real... Bring it on!
