Well Font was very successful, I have managed to come back with no injuries this year! It is fair to say my ankle was feeling the pounding from all that jumping, but I got in a couple of runs whilst it was raining so I can say that it was a proper training holiday :O)
It looks like both Mum and Mick are off on their jollydays too now, I hope they've remembered their trainers - its only 6 weeks to go today. gulp!
Just got back from a 13.2mile run, did it in 142 minutes which is about 11 minute miles again, so if I can increase that distance to 15 next week then I should be on track... I just need to motivate myself to get back on that bike. Ive not been on it since before Font - but with all this wonderful rain I thought I would try out somewhere new and take it for a long ride tomorrow. Which reminds me I best go and buy a map so I dont get lost in the rain!
Thanks to everyone who has sponsored us so far - the total is rising which is great. If you've not sponsored us yet then dont leave it too late, we need all the motivation we can get :O)

Highland Cross is unique coast to coast challenge taking place on 23rd June 2007. An annual duathlon taking participants from Morvich to Kintail going across some fantastic scenery. This 20 mile run and 30 mile bike ride is for a mix of charities inlcuding Highland Hospice, National Trust for Scotland, Abbeyfield Ballachulish, Visual Impairment Services and Volunteering Hospice. This blog is the story of the team "Return of the Pink Panters", their training, their fundraising and their journey.
About the 'Return of the Pink Panters'
Norna Hall is celebrating the arrival of her bus pass by planning to complete the Highland Cross coast to coast challenge (walk 20 miles, cycle 30 miles) as a warm up to cycling to the 4 compass points of the British mainland (a journey of about 1300 miles) . The charities she is supporting are MacMillan Cancer Care and the nominated Highland cross charities. Her self imposed target is £1000. (more about Norna)
Sara Christie is her daughter who after years of trying to be sensible has finally given in to the inevitable genetic insanity to join her Mother for the first time on this crazy event... (more about Sara)
Mick Heath is also doing his first Highland Cross but has a wealth of experience in athletic type stuff under his belt and has been drafted in to the family reunion to keep the average time up! (more about Mick)

OWCH!I went out on the bike in the rain... eventually. I hate bikes! I thought I would be responsible and check the tyre pressure: promptly had flat tyre. I have two pumps on loan neither worked - dashed to Halfords spoke to bloke, fixed one pump and bought a new one just in case. Pumped up tyre but was now thoroughly wet, despite good quality gortex. Went out for a painful 27 miles. Came home numb, and so soaked through that my phone has stopped working! Still its all good practice right?!
