72 Hours and (H)I’ll be Hon my Whey!

Can you believe it? I can’t!

It is 5pm, on Sunday, the 28th of June which actually means that it is less than 72 hours until I set off – but there is so much to do still! Like get thin, get fit, get a larger seat for my bike, get Dave to fix the water bottle holder to the frame (which I have just found out, doesn't fit!), get another bag for the frame of my bike – these things all take time and I just don’t have any now!

Still – I have been doing as was suggested in the information day – I have still been training this week but I have been very careful about it all! I am not planning on going at all tomorrow (Monday) and I won’t have a chance on Tuesday and then 6-6.30 on Wednesday is registration on Blackheath ready for a 7am at the latest set off!

I am having mixed feelings about the whole thing now – they range between complete panic and a relaxed state of c’est la vie but as Penni said, when I get there the feeling of being on the ceiling will probably be with me for ever more and “I rode a bike from London to Paris” will replace “I have more letters after my name than in it” as my favourite thing to say!

Today I have been to the gym and done another hour of resistance training and I am toying with the idea of going on the sun bed for a few minutes as we have been promised 30˚ heat next week I think I should try and give my skin a fighting chance – and if it rains, I will be very annoyed! Although I probably won’t be too unhappy as I am stopping off in M&S on the way home tomorrow to buy a waterproof packable jacket – watch me spend £15 on that at the weather forecast be completely right – but then again, we know what will happen if I don’t!

The online donation page is looking really very good and is up to £3,660 and I have £166 to send in with one more collection box still out collecting but we still need more! Please keep spreading the word and thanks to everyone for their support!

So, until the next time; take great care and don't forget our fundraising page www.justgiving.com/joandpenni
