Hello, I thought that I would write this blog to give me and anyone else interested an insight into what will be a big challenge for me and Marky B and to see how this trip up a mountain & round an island develops and the training etc!!!! I haven't really got a clue what I'm doing blogwise so please ignore any rambling (boom boom!).
After a pretty hectic Christmas & New Year and visit from four uni mates I decide to knock the beer on the head and start the training on the day they left (6th January 2010). After only a week of training my body is already a wreck, I have a split toenail and I am starting to realise what a long road this is going to be towards June!!
I started my training by going up and down the Fleshwick hills for approx 5 hours on the 6th Jan, talk about running before I can walk (or should that be walking before I run?)!
Since then I have been a model of determination (!) walking home from Ballasalla (7 miles) after work, swimming a couple of miles on a Tuesday and going up and down Fleshwick as much as possible. The only break I have is playing football in the snow on Sundays and Wednesdays, good job I don't run too much at footy! I think I'm on the edge of a burnout and I have barely even started!
The plan for the next week is to join the gym at Mount Murray and outline a training regime with Mark that I can actually stick to! Am also in the process of fitting this all round moving into a new flat in Douglas so it is a hectic time to say the least! Unfortunately it is a ground floor flat so I don't even get the exercise of going up and down the stairs!
I read some other blogs on Kili and the Parish walk and have already started to think I've bitten off more than I can chew!
Dave.
