Late last week I started to promote my sponsorship to do the Inca Trail Hike down at my East Cliff Cafe with my Info Board (see photo) which is working quite nicely with over 20 sponsors in the first couple of days..which has been a nice lift to get that "extra" training in.
Because its still about 8 weeks to the trek and the "credit crunch", I'm not actively asking my customers for sponsorship, I will get a little more active once I'm into the final countdown in April, as I don't want to be pestering people for the next 8 weeks!
However my family members are different!
Training is going along nicely, I've just popped my March training calendar on the wall and don't like the look of all these "red" 6/8 hour walks on my day off. Tomorrow looks like its going to be a rough day weather wise, so it might be an enforced day off to walk to Babbacombe..what's more perfect than a nice long walk in the rain, maybe a play on my new surfboard...my reasoning is that its still exercise..
One of the major advantages at the moment is the extra light in the mornings, the only problem is now I have to get up earlier for longer training walks... I want to try and make the most of the extra daylight before the clocks go forward as I will lose morning daylight then. Below is one morning out last week at the top of Exeter Road.
I've finally got around to converting my DVD of my Sky Dive from last July...So here it is in full glory...me falling to the ground while yelling!!!
