You know what it’s like, January comes around, all those “must get fit” promises of the previous year have been forgotten, that size 8 figure you have been looking to re claim for the last 10 years is an even more of a dream, the bingo wings that you really thought would only ever belong to your mother and granny have now reached your generation and magic knickers are the only way forward………………..   And then something happens, a last grasp to take control of your failing body?  a rush of blood to the head? a complete and utter sense of denial about the fact you are fast approaching your 5 decade? Too many drinks in the pub?????? And you find yourself saying …….   “ A 15 mile Paddle in a boat on the River Avon from Pershore to Tewkesbury followed by a 15 mile Plod along the river Severn from Tewkesbury to Worcester, followed by a 15 mile Pedal on a bike back to the start at Pershore  all in a day – yeah I can do that !!! “   WHAT WAS I THINKING????????????????     Ok so I ran the London Marathon in 2003 (yep it was THAT long ago), then decided to walk the 31 miles of the Worcestershire Way Walk (with bloody great hills!) in a day and then tackled the Atlas Mountains- so the walking 15 miles bit is tough but I know I can put one foot in front of the other -  but consider this…………. I don’t even own a bike (let alone recall the last time I went on a bike ride)  and I have NEVER been on a Bell Boat.  And yet I thought it a good idea to undertake 15 miles on the river and on cycle route 45 ???   That was defo the Sauvignon Blanc talking……..   BUT – you know how passionately I feel about St Richard’s Hospice and it’s for the patients and families we serve that I am undertaking this challenge.  So any help you can give will be hugely appreciated.
