Strange things are happening amongst Team Coliseum M&S! Members who, until now, have not wanted too much information about the event, are suddenly hungry - indeed, ravenous - for any titbit of info they can find!
On breaks together at work we talk solely about Trailwalker. In our texts to each other, there is no other topic and we delight in sharing any new piece of "knowledge" gleaned from any source, even if it is about blisters, chafing or other similar unsavoury subjects! (On that note, its been agreed, what is witnessed on the walk, stays on the walk!!! A very sensible ground rule, we think!)
Last minute prep is being stepped up - I personally have never bought so many socks in so short a period of time in my whole life! We've become obsessed with having between us every possible combination of painkillers, energy drinks and snacking items, not to mention the variety of kit we now possess. Scary really thinking back just a short 6 months when the chosen form of weekend attire couldn't have been further from the current waterproof trousers, wicking base layers and 1000 mile socks.
The fundraising target is all but reached, which is fantastic, and we still have a final bag pack scheduled at work next weekend, plus our family & close friends who are now being hounded for their promised donations.
Team walks have stopped now, just down to light individual training. We are all going out for a "team meal" next Sunday night (8th) with our support crew too - team bonding, you know! Very important.
So, Saturday 14th July can't come quick enough now. "A little less conversation, a little more action".
Bring it on!
