And then it begins......

Okay, so Christmas and New year has past and it's only 120 days (4 months approx) to our mammoth challenge. The whole Great Glen in 24 hours, OUCH! That's 73 miles in a day, my muscles ache at the thought of it. So far the team consists of Me and Ricky, brother and sister. There are two other possibilities Alan and Stuart. There is also the important task of bike transport driver and smelly sock collectors i.e. the support team and this so far consists of Mum and Dad at the moment.

So it's time to think about getting fit, now that i've spent the last week munching all the chocolates and cakes from Christmas, obviously to avoid temptation at later stages in the diet/fitness regime, ha ha ha ha.

The possibilities for fitness during the darkest month of the year are limited for a gymophobic, outdoor type like me. Ricky on the other hand is leaving for two weeks offshore and when he gets time off from working too hard he doesn't have far to go with all facitlities provided on the rig! He assures me he will be cycling the 30 miles and doing other types of gym things to start preparing. My choices are going to have to be swimming and core workouts during the week and hiking and biking at the weekend. (excuse me while I say a little prayer for dry weather)

Over the next few months on the run up to the event i'll keep this blog up to date on the progress being made and the ups and downs of getting ready for the MONSTER!!!

Thanks for reading and enjoy, Lorna x
