The story so far....

Well, to bring you all up to speed, as I write this it is now 29th Jan 07 and in a little over 7 weeks time my bid to test myself against some of the harshest terrain in the world and all that Nature can throw at me in the Sahara Desert will become real.
I will be on the outbound flight to Morocco full of adrenaline, excitement, anticipation and most of all a healthy respect for the distance and the demands that I will be asking my body to deliver as I compete in the "Toughest Foot Race in The World" the Marathon des Sables. But hey,... if it was easy... if everyone was doing it... it wouldn't be a challenge, and that's exactly why you'll find me there, for the challenge. That, and of course the fact that I'm not exactly in the league of those with the bank balance that allows them to become Space Tourists, so the Sahara it is.

Most importantly the reason I have created this Blog is to help me share with you my latest progress, trials and successes, and to let you know that I really do value your encouragement, and support as the training window erodes and the start line approaches
Oh... and lets not forget the sponsorship either, that helps too.

So over the next day or two I'll bring you up to speed on my training so far, the good, the bad, and the ugly bits.... bet you can't wait.
See you again soon
