Clean clothes

Here's a pic of our clean clothes that we'll be reunited with in Gregynog...

Bag test

2 days to go...

Last to do list...

Taking care of the last few restaurant bookings etc...

Just a few days to go

Everything is ready, we're leaving in 3 days. I went on my last run (a short 5k) this am and we're both very excited :)

Scouting the run

Last weekend Zoë and I drove from Cardiff to Gregynog to scout the run. The difficulty level decreased in Zoë's mind as she thought it was hillier then it is...

On the other hand, the difficulty level has definitely increased in my mind! I can't believe how hilly Wales is!!! This whole run is definitely not the smartest idea I've been involved in... Oh well...

Here are some photos from the route including some awesome wild (?) horses we saw in the National Park.

Stepping up training

Zoë and I went on another long run with packs today (we have more or less bought all the gear we're going to be taking now). It was raining pretty bad which definitely add to the difficulty level.

I felt pretty good but it was after a full weekend of rest, Zoë was on her feet all day Saturday and spent yesterday pm training with the Welsh touch rugby squad. She was really stiff and her groin's acting up but she powered through the pain which is awesome cause it's shown her what levels she can cope with...

Here's some photos of us at Castell Coch:

Injury Update

Yesterday we both went to the AMAZING Ben Goffen(http://www.precision-chiropractic.co.uk/) who had a look at our injuries and gave us some excellent treatment and advice.

So last night we further iced our respective injuries and then this morning we could both be found in the gym undertaking rehab exercises. . . Vince on the hamstring curl and myself on the Bosu Board. I have also been doing ice/heat treatment today in the office, 3 rounds completed! Fingers crossed all will be back to normal very soon :)
