I think girls out training are maybe a little different from guys - for one thing, a good chunk of our conversation at the start of each training session is about our families, who's been left with a car, who has things they need to get kids to, and largely how quickly we can get back to them. Because, simply, we wouldn't and couldn't be doing this event without the support of our families. Especially the blokes. We are deeply grateful for their encouragement, their enthusiasm, and the fact they are solo parents for at least one day each weekend. In fact a hint for doing a big event like Oxfam is to write your families names on your arm so when the going gets tough, you dedicate a few kms or whatever you need to get through a bad patch to someone in your family..."I'm walking this next 5 kms for...". That will be one of our priorities on the day when we're getting ourselves prepared - get that pen ready!
So, we'd like to take a moment to say a big BIG THANKYOU to:
Vic and Evey
Ben, Jack, Luke and Olivia
Alan, Sam and Joel
John, Will, Rafe and Smith.
