Introduction

Mal has been harassing me to run one of these legs since he created what is the coolest adventure / fundraising event concepts around. It's a totally inspiring and innovative way in which to support a charitable cause that deserves as much support as we can muster.

Over the years, I've grown to truly love being on the trails all over this magnificent country of ours, and have completed a few pretty cool off-road events.

But running (walking, stumbling etc...) 121km in 2 stints over 3 days is scaring the crap out of me because it is going to require some (reasonably) serious commitment over the next few months to ensure I actually make it.

I am very much looking forward to giving Day 5 of the 2010 edition of the 7in7 a nudge with Mal (I'm doing the Kepler Challenge on day 7 too), and perhaps some other like minded people too. Mal - you're a bloody legend mate, let's make this year's edition of 7in7 bigger, better, harder than last year!!

Event date:Thursday 02/12/10

Event location:South Island

Grand call! Commitment made - enjoy the journey to both those finish lines. When you're hobbling around on Day 6 and Kepler is looming, remember Dean Karnazes said "Recovery is overrated"! Go you (and Mal and the entire 7 in 7 team). I'm VERY envious.

Dedication

Lots of reasons, but the overwhelming one is that it's a terrific event / cause / concept. Mal is a great guy and I want to support him and his vision. I also want a challenge that's going to seriously ask a few tough questions of me, and think this will do the trick.

I'm lucky, I've got my legs which work (most of the time) and I'm healthy. We've all lost good people from our lives prematurely over the years, so am thinking about these very special people as I build up to this challenge.

And I just Iove being out there on those trails too...
