My preparations for the 12 hour race are continuing.  I covered 40km on Saturday, about 10km on Sunday, and 16 on Monday by walking to and from work which I will likely to again tomorrow.  I am also trying to get used to running and walking in intervals of 5 to 1.

The first two donations have come in, one from the step mother of an ex-girlfriend and one from the first girl who was ever described as my girlfriend (not by me, but by a mutual friend of ours.)  Others are also promising to donate a small sum for every km I complete.  There is plenty of impetus for me to do well.

It also looks as though a support crew is starting to take shape.  Between parents and collegues and friends from a few sources including one who is coming down from Sydney for the weekend, I still hope to be able to put together a team of people that will enable me to go the whole distance without being alone.  I suspect I will need moral support especially towards the later stages when I go further than I have ever gone and possibly get close to my own personal edge.

It seems as though my recovery from Saturday's long walk to visit [livejournal.com profile] bakerypenguin has been pretty quick.  I felt almost good as new yesterday, and today the slight ache across the front of my left ankle was gone.  I still think I will consult a physio about that particular ache, as it has happened twice in the same place now.  Also, the twinge in my back is still stubbornly hanging around.  I wouldn't normall bother with a physio, but when things don't get better on their own, it's time to call in a professional.
