To Paris..

Last summer, my good friend Dai and I went to the French Alps to support some other friends who were competing in an extreme ultra marathon in the mountains there. It was amazing to be at the finish line watching some of the competitors come in and foolishly I was inspired!

Not long after returning from our brief sojourn in the Alps and still foolishly inspired, I signed myself up, to compete in the 2010 Eco Trail de Paris. http://www.traildeparis.com/pages/public/index.php?v=event&id=6

In the morning tomorrow. Mrs P junior and myself have tickets on the Eurostar to Paris and the silliness is upon us.

At 1230 on Saturday, the start gun will go and together with a few hundred other tight wearing Europeans I will make my way over 80kms (50 miles) towards the Eiffel Tower. Where, we are all aspiring to finish the race by climbing the stairs of that famous land mark!
