Stop Talking! Start Running!

As we get ever and ever closer to the Forces March 2011 the reality of what we have taken on is starting to hit home.  As I write this there is only 126 days separating us from the start line and each day is disappearing fast.

This weekend we had a catch up where we all re-ignited our passion for the challenge and pulled together as a team to hit the next few months hard and smash our goals.  Here is a picture of us just under 4 miles into our training run where we had our first water break with the support vehicle.

From left to the right at the back we have Tom Corbin, Mark Thomas and Damian Atkinson.  And at the front we have Matt Wang, Dean Grimshawe and Paul Thomas.

It seems now that the only advice for the team is to Stop Talking and Start Running!  As we build up our distances so we can be ready for the 5 marathons in 5 days.

After the run we all sat down and made sure we all knew exactly why we were doing this challenge and what it means to us all as individuals.  Then we talked a little about what Team Warrior means and how we express the Warrior Spirit.  Below is a clip from Sylvester Stallone doing an interview about Rocky and the Warrior Spirit, and I think he sums up what we are trying to embody perfectly.

We’ll be attending various events in the near future as we build up to the Forces March so look out for us at the following events.

Sun 6th Feb – Watford Half-Marathon
Sun 20th Mar – Fleet Half-Marathon
Sun 20th Mar – Reading Half-Marathon
Fri 1st-3rd Apr – 3 Peak Challenge
Sat 23rd Apr – Compton Challenge (40 miler)

We’ll keep you posted but in the meantime Team Warrior shall mostly be running and promoting awareness of Project 65 through their challenge.  Remember to sponsor us!
