4 weeks to go....everyone is training hard.
We have bought the rest of our clothes and first aid kit today. Mum says we spent a lot of money! We even managed to rip the bags we were carrying as they were so full.
I'm feeling a bit nervous but excited at the same time. Tony has taken the straps off the duffel bags as they will get caught on the airport belt. They fit me like a harness! Mum says I've got to go to bed now...
We will be training at Box Hill tomorrow if anyone wants to join us at 10 at stepping stones car park.
