Final preparations for the race are proving costly - blowing almost £100 on nutrition at least makes me feel more like an athlete! A bit of publicity in the Oldham Chronicle was nice - you would have had to buy a copy of the paper however to witness the buffon hair-do as I jogged across Oldham Edge looking, at the photographer's request, 'gritty'. TeamWebb is meeting tonight to discuss the final particulars (vital stuff like whose bringing the custard creams etc.) and then we're good to go. The next post will be via Blackberry courtesy of Clare who assures me that this blog will be kept updated throughout the race...I bet you can't wait...
Lying in bed with the laptop on the blog webb-page we're right with you all (well, in spirit ...). Kate has cramp already; we understand it's sympathetic pain which shows how deeply she longs to be running alongside her son-in-law. Martin's fine and will limit exercise to walking the dog in Longdendale (unless a wedding prohibits). Heard the weather forecast and are concerned it may not be cool enough or wet enough to keep the lad fresh. Anyway, allez les bleus ... les bleus-chemises, that is!! We won't be looking at the retirements section of the blog, of course. We have every confidence ... Much love, from the Haughton Green Supporters Network.
