We did it!!!!!!!

Left to right....Pat, Rita, Joanne, Julie, Lynn, Gwen, Rene and Marianne.........Marian and Bob were long gone and had already got their medals at this point. A lovely day was had by all......and we're doing it all again next year!

Lovely district nurses....

A big thank you to the district nurses at Waldron for sponsoring us........just off now to help them save their lists!

Offline sponsors from Joanne

Thank you to Eve Cannon, Lesley Ackland, Chris Keeping , David Muffett and Mary Cox for their offline promises to donate!

It's been such a long time.....

.....since I last wrote on here, I'm almost ashamed.

Things have been going well, training has been mixed but fruitful across the board, weather reports have been checked out and the money trickling in slowly but surely. There's so many of us at work that are doing it this year that we've all decided to pick one person and just sponsor them but every single penny raised is worth loads so please dig deep people!

Thanks to June and Ron and Glenn and Karen for their sponsorship - Lynn tells me that she's "not sure how much I've got cos the form's gone all over the building and passed around left right and centre".

We're ready. T-shirts to be done next, carb intake to be upped and pray for: good weather, nice breeze, not too hot, no rain or wasp stings. Thank you!!!

More news from the Front

We've got another addition to our team in the shape of Rita Kibble - welcome Rita!

More online sponsors to thank: Jenny Stephens, Marian's mum, Chris Parkinson and Steve and Nicola! Two months to go people.......

Diary mutterings of Gwen....part two

Welcome to the plus two members of our team - I quite like the "seven plus two go mad in Blackheath" title. Am not sulking any more, 10 May 2008 my race pack arrived in the post. Really love my "walk correctly" trainers after the initial ache in my legs, they are soooo comfy. I'm in danger of wearing them out and having to buy another pair for July.

I have my "all weather" outfit: white T-shirt, garish pink cropped trousers, blue trainers, sedate beige (with pink ribbon) sun hat, keep cool navy scarf and last but not least a sky blue poncho mac that folds up to the size of a credit card holder. Have I forgotten anything Seven (plus two) team? Apart from my colour co-ordination that is!

Went for a trial walk round Dulwich Park, nice rhododenrons out at the moment, had my camera. Now, did I allow for the stopping and taking of photographs in my time slot? Getting better on my time, hope to improve on the original timing. How is everyone else in our team training? Only nine weeks to go!

Going to walk round park once a week for the next four weeks then step up to twice a week for 3 weeks and the last two weeks ease off, to just normal walking - that's without walking to the shops and labrador training of course. That I shall keep going. I cannot stand to see a labrador sulk - beats me at sulking that's for sure, I can't get the "look" right.

Sponsor Bob!
