Only 8 weeks to go

That IS a scary thought. We are both amazingly laid back in our preparations but something little is happening all the time. The route is done, we have got house sitters, we have a list of all the stuff we want to bring (and need to purchase). A couple of days ago I even found a 20 week training plan for people who want to complete a walking marathon............. spot the problem??

I just ignore the fact that we are planning to walk a half marathon every day for 60 days and hope the tips on how to avoid and later deal with the inevitable blisters are good. We will report back.

Here is Gary during one of his finely tuned workouts:

Gary and I have a ‘thing’ for stationary. We both LOVE nice stationary shops and my best present this Christmas was a beautiful ink pen and lots of ink in the most beautiful colours. Anyway – he thinks he found the walkers equivalent. A Northface shop in town! My intuition tells me that we will be spending lots of money there. Wellllllll it is his 50^th birthday on Tuesday next week…………. a little indulgence or ten are called for.
