Twice More For the Cougars

Due to my busy week it has been pretty tough trying to fit in training and thankfully my team mates were able to be flexible enough to change our days. On Thursday evening, Sharon and I drove over to Philomen's with a view to tackling the usual mountains and Sharon is now ready for a wee bit of running - Hooray! No boys with us this time round.

Just for variety, we back tracked and did the reverse of what we normally do although we left Mt Eden for last, it being closer to the car etc. We had an excellent training session on Thursday, suitably fuelled and even managed to run up some of the hills. We made good time too.

Thinking ahead, I knew that there would be no Sunday run this week and so I agreed to meet the girls again early Saturday to repeat Thursday's training session. 5 mountains. It was a late night for me on Friday and we had to be at Philomen's by 6:30am Saturday so that we could get the training over with early enough to avoid the heat of the day and with time to enjoy the rest of the weekend. I was up at 6 and in the car by 6:10 but missed out on breakfast. Even though we still made good time, I felt it and it was no where near as good as our previous session. Silly missing out on breakfast - I won't do that again!

We are now up and running on the OXFAM website under team name: Watercare Cougars

We have raised over 50% of our target already but still have $900 to go. If anyone knows of any companies that would help us with corporate sponsorship, please let me know. We would be happy to wear company logo for advertising.

Next training session should be Monday evening.
