and so it begins.....

The challenge is being signed up to as we speak. 5km of power walking and puffing lungs is on the horizon. The clock is ticking and the blogs begin. Race for Life 2009 is now offically under way and I begin this momentus day with an evening of chinese and cider! Maybe i'll call Monday the first official day of training and put this weekend of naughtiness down to a fond farewell party for my fat and flab. Smoking is at a minimum but kitkat consumption is at a maximum, the two are not unrelated. So it's down the gym with religious gusto and a firm shake of the head to the kitkat cravings. This time it's serious, we're aiming for a better time round Holme Pierrepont (otherwise known as the Bowl of Hellfire) and to beat the pegleg. I hope we get the same level of support this year as we were truely humbled by the amount we raised in 2008. A big thanks again to everyone who helped us and Cancer Reasearch UK and we hope we'll do you proud again if you're so kind as cough up some cash this year. I'll be updating with training photos and progress reports asap!!

Just sprayed mouth full of cake (no, not cake...erm...health cake?) over keyboard laughing at your kitkat consumption comment!
We will survive the Bowl of Hellfire once again - although I think part of my training should be to start experiencing daylight again!

If last year was anything to go by you certainly need to start increasing your sun exposure so you can cope with the Bowl of Hellfire. Now that we know Holme Pierrepont is the closest point on the Earths surface to the sun we'll be better prepared for the radiation burns this year.
