Really??? Is there only 4 weeks left. Actually, checking out the calendar about 3 and a half now. All of a sudden the room seems a little warmer. Are we fit enough??? Will our legs take the pain of 700km combined kilometers between us?? How about our knees?? Will our campsites be there ready and waiting for us?? Will the days be hot? Or cold? What if our running track is blocked?
The list goes on. Chances are, lets be honest, things will go wrong. It seems unlikely that we can set ourselves a rather ambitious goal like this and not have a thing or two not go our way. Flat tyres, language barriers, etc... it will happen. This is of course, all part of the challenge... and possibly very fun, but also very tiring! The more ambitious the target, the more likely it is to bring home the fact that the people we do this for have many challenges themselves. Many of these struggles we do not personally understand. The challenge to find somewhere to sleep every night. The challenge of finding some food to eat. The challenge of appearing vaguely respectable for even the most mundane of jobs.
The homeless are the ultimate beneficiaries of our little run over Italy. We, as Team Run, need to remember this.
