What a load of old bullion

Salut Bloggeuses and Bloggeurs

A good week training-wise - well there had to be at least one! Total distance of 29km covered, in three runs, which according to Wise Uncle Tom (yes, the same Wise Uncle Tom who said "wanna do the Great North Run?") that should be enough to enable us to get round all the way, like.

Its a beautiful day in Geneva today, which was handy as we had earmarked today for the big push (or more accurately s**t or bust). Christina and I did just over 15km, in 2 hours 7sec at a steady pace. (The 7 seconds were very important to Christina, for reasons best known to her...)I reckon if we can repeat that on race day we should get round the course, which will do me just fine thanks very much. This was a great achievement for Christina in particular as she only got the green light to train again 3 weeks ago after a month off due to a ligament injury. Luckily, we had built a good foundation before her foot went bang, so we weren't starting from zero with three weeks to go.

If we can just arrange it so that the weather is nice and sunny next week, that would be canny.

This week, I will be mostly stretching and trying not to think about the run too much. I'm getting nervous about it - the last time I was anywhere near 55,000 people it was probably at a music festival, so next weekend is going to be way different. I'm made up we did the 10 grand for the RNLI - great work everyone, lets see where we end up with the fundraising. I reckon some of my Swiss banking colleagues must have some gold bullion stashed away somewhere thats not doing anything....

Hang in there Team Atko, nearly there.
