Nine weeks to go...

Rob Starbuck is counting the days.

9 weeks to go and all is well – we hope that is the cry from all the runners!! I noticed it was 9 weeks this morning and a mixture of nerves and excitement surged through my veins.

Project 65 represents a unique challenge, regular runners mixed with those who have an emotional link with the events of 1944 alongside those who feel compelled to stand up and meet the challenge head on.

9 weeks to go so by now we all should be able to do a 40 mile training run. Yeah, right, hands up those that are there yet?!? I plan to do a 5 – 6 hour training session this Sunday. Just now a case of working out the route and deciding if I can run with a ruck-sack full of food and drink!

Oh, the joys of a long distance runner !
