Its OK itss just another walk in the park

Calmed down about the beacons ultra. here is the link to the ultra web site: http://www.beaconsultra.com/ On it I discover some pictures of the beacon exercises when I got lost: http://www.beaconsultra.com/training_weekend.html

The route map and profile is here: http://www.beaconsultra.com/route_details.html

I took Joshua with me for a walk today. The boy amazed me, only 5 years and he stuck with me all the time though hedges, mud, cold and wet. did not complain once. we did just over 4 miles (6.4km) in the countryside

The Beacons Ultra 2008

I just opened the brown envelope with my name on, out came my number, the map and a couple of safety pins. I am sh*&&*ng myself. Suddenly this is very real. in 17 days from today I am to do the 42 mile (67km) beacons ultra. This is the middle of the winter, it is pissing outside the wind is howling and mountain rescue is on standby. I hope the bring some big blokes, I am still 130kg and woe the man who wish to carry me on a stretcher



What the hell is the matter with me?
