13 Weeks, 4 Days, 9 Hours, 42 Minutes to Marathon Des Sables 2013...toughest footrace on earth

Sitting here on the 1st January 2013, with less than 13 1/2 weeks to go until the start of the toughest footrace  on earth...

I have signed up to do this event to: 1. complete this amazing personal challenge and 2. to raise money for the great work Mencap does in supporting individuals with learning disabilities to live the lives they want to live.

Over the coming weeks and months I will share my training experiences - both good and bad...the highs and the lows!  Today was the first days of 2013 training, which started with a great 4 mile muddy hike with the kids - fighting through brambles to collect golf balls from the local course to add to their collection.  This was followed by a steady 6 mile run down to and round Newbold Comyn in in Leamington Spa.

The body feels good following some Christmas overindulgence...bring on 2013...family...work...and training for the greatest footrace on earth - MDS 2013!
