Trans-Wales

I've agreed to step in as Amy's team mate for Trans-Wales. 6 months of proper training starts now. I want to see if I can do this. I keep reading other peoples blogs who are training for endurance events. It fascinates me to see how people train and push themselves, thinking about miles, and kit and muscle and fat and calories and stamina and pain and success and sheer determination. Am I on the side-lines, reading about it, the vicarious existence, or am I one of the ones who does it. I know which I'd like to be.
