We are training … hard!!!

It is amazing to think that in four weeks' time we will be on the trail. As we write this note there is an element of excitement, allegory and trepidation about the event. Excitement, because 12 months later, we are about to return to the event having a sense of destiny and having past experience of being in the trail. Allegory, because we had a film night in the company of good friends… We raised $315! Thank you kindly for the support… sorry the film was a bit slow! Trepidation, because we have not trained on the track at all this time. Have no fear; we are more determined than ever to succeed. We have concentrated our training efforts running along the Coastal Path (from Brighton to Mordialloc) and the Capital Trail (concentrating on the hills around Clifton Hill, Kew). We are beginning to like the bends around the Yarra! Pic: The team before the start of the event in 2009.

We are back and determined to excel in the 2010 Oxfam Trailwalker! As we prepare for our third consecutive trailwalker we have a sense of confidence in raising to the challenge. / / / Oxfam Trailwalker is an excellent vehicle to show our spirit of solidarity to support development in impoverished countries. We would like to encourage others to support a good cause by pledging a donation to Oxfam Australia. We have faith and believe in the work that Oxfam Australia is doing in the Asia-Pacific region. / / / Our 2010 team Oxfam Trailwalker comprise one change in the team composition. Virginia Neill (above, Melbourne Marathon October 2009) is replacing Jane Lennon. Welcome Gin!! / / / Finally, our training is progressing well so far… hmm, well, we are confident we will be to improve or maintain our 2009 performance when we completed the event in 16h22mins.
