Training is continuing apace

Round trip to Dulwich Village yesterday - roughly 8km in total. Not bad for a skinny legged freak who only started jogging again three weeks ago. Starting to believe I can do this. Not so sure about my fellow 'team mates' though; of the five of us, I would say our chances of making it to the starting line are thus:

Me: 95% (barring injury or other catastrophe)
Euan: 95% (as above)
Coco: 90% (he's got the added effort of travelling from Aberdeen for the pleasure, but he's a determined wee bastard)
Andy: 70% (keen to prove that cycling not only negates a committed smoking habit, but also that he's fitter / harder / stronger / more creative than the rest of us saps)
Craig: 40% (full of great intentions, but has not inconsiderable 'previous' when it comes to accidentally getting wasted 48 hours before the race and failing to show up)
Murray: 25% (again, signed up for all the right reasons, but is the most dedicated to his career of anyone I know, which entails 14 hour days most of the week. Not entirely conducive to a balanced training regime. Neither is an even more impressed fag habit than Andy).


The signs from Nikeplus are not encouraging, as the current results on the challenge I set up for Murray, Craig and I ('most kilometres run in a month') will testify....
