It’s just over two months now until the Dales Walk and I’m kicking things up a notch in both my fundraising and my training. I’m aiming to get out and walk at least three or four miles every single day from now until we set off, which is going to eat into my free time quite significantly. As a result I’m probably not going to be around as much both here and on your own blogs. But don’t cry for me Blogosphere , the truth is I never left you. All through my wild days, my mad existence, I kept my promise. Don’t keep your distance.
God I hate that song.
I’m still going to throw a couple of posts out a week though. In fact you probably won’t notice any difference. And all you buggers who have promised me a guest post still have to do them too. Don’t think you can weasel out of it that easily.

Good luck with the training. I’ll have my podcast ready for you next week, finally. Just think how motivated you’ll be to walk, no, RUN down the trail when you hear my voice in your ears! If you’re like most people I know, you won’t be able to get away from it fast enough. Be thankful I’m keeping my talking to a minimum on the podcast.
My kids and I have been getting out more and more now that warm weather is here, and I completely forgot how good it feels to just walk. It must feel doubly good to know you’re walking for a higher purpose!

Good luck with training, fund raising, all of it. I admire anyone who can do this sort of thing, I will happily cheer from the side lines ;o)

” I’m aiming to get out and walk at least three or four miles every single day from now until we set off, which is going to eat into my free time quite significantly.” – WHAT THE FUCK!!
You need to be doing much more than that. You’ll literally die during the walk proper if you aren’t used to the distances we are planning.

you’re better of doing three walks a week of 10, 12 and 14 miles dude.

That should total 8-9 miles per day, which sadly means getting up an hour earlier, and not being able to eat until an hour later than normal (or leaving work at a sensible hour to get home at the same time as usual).
I too have upped the pace, and added various strings to my fundraising bow. Persistent mentions on my community website (www.thesinner.net) and a Facebook “give me money please” banner (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=37100713)
Please note Dan, I’m not trying to steal your thunder; it’s just that if I’m to raise more money than you, I’ll stop at nothing to catch up with your £852 head start!

Couldn’t find a nicer place to walk than the Dales though. Are you taking your camera with you?
