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.

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.
