On the eve of my biggest ever physical challenge - a mere 75 mile run over 2 days around the Essex marshland, it is nice to see that the two boys are showing a keen interest in running / athletics. We take them to the Sporting Village every Tuesday for their swimming lessons and just lately I have been making sure we wear running shoes that that after swimming we can get out on the running track and do a quick lap. Both boys can easily manage a 400m lap, but seem to prefer doing a Usain up the 100m straight or even playing in the steeple chase jump!

| Brandon charging down the 100m straight. |
 |
| Joshua coming around the final bend on his 400m lap. Looking strong. |
 |
| And Little B leads Joshua to the finish of the 100m sprint (he did have a slight head start!). |
Both boys are looking forward to dropping me off at the start line tomorrow and then meeting me 7 hours later at the finish. Brandon has been giving me lots of tips about speed walking when I stop for food/drink breaks so that I can finish quicker.
