6 dry weeks

Team Run enjoy a beer. We make no secret of this. However, when a challenge of this magnitude is taken on Team Run must ask itself... Is it right to consume large amounts of alcohol before attempting to run 700km over hills and in very un-english heat? We have to say no, it isn't. So, we have resolved that after this weekend our beer consumption will be reduced considerably. That's going to be circa 6 weeks with limited alcohol consumption. This may be as big a challenge as the run itself.

Enough talk of beer - it's making me thirsty. You need to know what's been going on in Team Run Towers this week.

Adam Graham - some will remember from earlier posts he is the poster boy of the group. Unfortuneatley his poster boy good looks get him in trouble when he has seemingly simple tasks to do, like, for example, buying maps. Attempt no. 1 ended in a trip to the cinema with a random - reportedly a girl of whom he fancied. Attempt no. 2 ended a little more successively. We have maps, a highlighter and eagerness to boot. The route is now being mapped and the accommodation being booked. Several Italian campsites, and some French ones too, will be graced by the presence of Team Run. If you happen to be in the area around 12-20 September, drop us a line. You can come and enjoy in the Team Run fun & frivolity.
