Countdown. 9 weeks

It's a busy place is Team Run Towers.

The training has been stepped up. Graeme Kirkpatrick, has been backing up his talking abilities with plenty of running. He leads the Team Run training log with a massive 160 kms over the past 3 weeks. That, without a doubt, is a fine effort. Still, 100 kms within 5 days is the goal. Some way to go yet!

On the organisation front, Adam Graham, has taken his poster boy good looks down to the map shop and failed at buying us maps. He will be back though, with all the determination of Rocky climbing those stairs. He apparently was distracted by a girl luring him into the cinema. This sort of distraction is not easily tolerated in Team Run, and we expect better next time.

Team Run has a facebook. Resident computer geek S.McKenzie has set up a group. Some may think this is as self-indulgent as a Chocolate Sundae on a drug binge, but this is not the case. In fact, it's all about raising awareness, as we want this event to be successful, and we want £5,000 of money benefitting the homeless people we run for. If you are of the facebook persuasion, please join the group. It's called Team Run - Vatican to Monaco.

Finally, if ever you have a note, comment, complement, insult, or you just want to know who is Richard Tipping and what is he doing to my dog, then drop us an email at teamrun@uk.rlb.com. We may well reply!
