Week 2!

It's week 2 with our 3 planned walks completed last week.  Mags ditched me on Thursday evening as she'd had a better offer ....dinner with friends....who can blame her!  Anyway, at least she completed her 3 miles before she went!  So roped my pal, Mandy May in, and we did our walk with lots of chatting on the way catching up with all the biz.  Another outing on Saturday morning completed Week 1.

Starting now to think of a few fundraising ideas and have set a target of raising £1,000, a lot of money I know but guess it's better to aim high.  I realise that it may be more difficult in the current economic climate but if everyone that I know gives a small donation then it'd be a good start.  I'd like to have an event every month from now until the big day and am considering a Yummy P1 Mummies coffee morning for the mums in Ellie's (my daughter) class in February, a Night at the Races in The Primrose (some free advertising for my Dad for the best bar and restaurant in Ballynahinch!) in March, a Wine and Cheese Night for neighbours in April and a BBQ for friends and family in May.  Can't let the guys in work off the hook so I'll be organising a few things for them to contribute - don't want them to feel left out!  If anyone out there has any other bright ideas, PLEASE PLEASE pass them on!

Anyway, tomorrow night it's back to the training programme - need to do 4 miles in 70 mins 3 times this week.  If anyone fancies joining us for the training, craic or just to get some fresh air, just get in touch - we'll be happy to see new faces!  Training times will be Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings!

So far, so good but I know it's a long way to go!  Mags and I are both enjoying it so far and can't wait to up the miles.
