6 months to go... and I've finally got an event!

So it's been a while since my last blog... but I guess I can use Christmas and a much needed holiday as an excuse for the lack of activity. Anyway it's a new year and the nagging feeling that I'm off in six months is looming ahead of me, so it's time for action!

I've been thinking about events and had a few ideas, and whilst some fall by the wayside when you start thinking about the practicalities of it (a film screening where tickets would have cost about 40 quid to break even, or a five-a-side tournament where renting the pitches would have cost double the money I could have raised) others are starting to form, finally.

So firstly I'm holding a Valentine's speed dating night in Clapham.. .yes it's cheesy, but secretly you know you'd love it , and i think it's going to be really fun. The lovely people at The Windmill, on Clapham Common have lent me their beautiful pub for free and I'll be playing host to 40 of the most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes come Valentine's Day. Have just sent the word out on Facebook so am nervously awaiting my first guests.

And apart from that, I guess I need to start training, ready for those 8 hour days of trekking. Admittedly I'm not the fittest and struggle to run (read jog.... very slowly) for about 20 minutes so it's time to start working on that. I did run home tonight (it's about two miles), but I definitely stopped at the traffic lights for much longer than necessary. Time to break out the training schedule.
