Lots of snow and ice stopped my hill running in early December (too dangerous). I still managed a couple of 3-mile 'yomps' through the snow over the local common land and forested areas. The snow melted before Christmas and I put in a 7-mile run along the Thames towpath via Kingston and Hampton Bridges. Plenty of gym time at both Nuffield Health and the local Surbiton Racquets and Fitness Club.
I've now got all my final jabs (Typhoid, Hep B booster, Yellow Fever), the strong anti-malaria pills, the diamox for altitude, and some tough insect-repellant. I invite you to read the ingredients on a DEET-based insect repellant - there's a reason the bugs don't want to land on your skin after you've sprayed that stuff on!

Its all becoming very real now – just over a month to go!
