I have had a great week!

John & I have both had our entries into the Nijmegen Marches accepted. 49,352 people applied to participate; the limit for the ‘Four Day Marches’ is 45,000, so we are well chuffed! We will be marching 50km (31miles) for 4 consecutive days. On the official web site it mentions that some competitors do this in wooden shoes … not us!  We have booked our accommodation with a local family and agreed to share a bed (with each other!) The serious training is starting. I am now up at 6.00am most days to fit in a longer walk before driving the kids to the school bus and work. This also has the added benefit that I get into work earlier …. ho hum.

I have two long walks this weekend, 26 miles along the Test Way on Saturday with Rosie and Lucy to ensure we are ready for the MoonWalk in mid May. We should receive our bras for decoration soon – all design ideas welcome! On Sunday Paula and I are walking 26 miles in the South Downs Marathon. It will be nice to walk some different countryside. I am hoping to see lots of blue bells!

Britax have kindly donated 2 car seats to use for raising sponsorship funds. If you are in need of a new child seat and fancy one from the current Britax range, then contact me with an offer!

For those of you who like gadgets and stats, I down loaded my pedometer tonight and I have now walked over a million steps since the end of January 2010! The sunshine is meant to last until after the weekend with temperatures of 20 degrees – enjoy!
