1...yes 1 more sleep!!! O....M....G!!!!
I can't believe that it's nearly D-day at last... I'm never going to sleep tonight...it's like waiting for Santa to arrive..
I'm still not packed...gear everywhere...
I'm trying to be really organised as will be living out of my bag for 2 weeks so have bagged everything in relation to purpose...i.e. cycling tops (in the order in which I'll wear them with the tightest one for the last day!), cycling shorts, socks (20 pairs), underwear, clothes for evening whilst cycling, clothes for Hanoi at the end...blah...blah...blah..
They're all bagged so that when the smelly stuff is thrown in every day it won't affect anything....although the smelly stuff will be in scented nappy bags to be on the safe side....I kid you not!!
I can't finish it tonight though. Think I'll end up taking a half day from work tomorrow after all..
Meeting ''BFGC'' for a little Bon Voyage aperitif...very excited..

Day 1 - Saturday 10th February 2007
Today is the first day of my countdown to my Cycle Vietnam challenge in November. Today I have: a. set up a fund raising page at http://www.justgiving.com/siobhanmartina b. set up this blog to track my training progress and no doubt many frustrations; and c. started my training. It has to be said that I'm feeling a tad righteous! In saying that I feel that I have to mention that my training took place on my exercise bike at home....come on!!...it's far too cold and wet for the real thing! I'm looking at about April for that!!! I've set myself a goal of doing at least 1 hour on the bike every day and have had the most wonderful idea of how to get over the tedium of getting nowhere slowly! Yes... I'm going to watch the whole series of 'The Sopranos'....series 1-6 in fact! When I've finished these I'll then move onto '24' ...again...every series available on DVD. But panic not my sweets, amongst all this toil, I will also be going to the gym....I'll be the one with the very pink cheeks at Fitness First! How come some girls look great exercising and some look like...well....me?! My stats on the bike for today were: RPM - 72 / SPEED - 28 / TIME - 60 mins / DISTANCE - 26.48 / CALORIES - 599 ( = 1 Mint Aero & 1 Ripple!) But as the old saying goes, 'The best laid plans of mice and Siobhans' or as my lovely Mother would say, 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions!'. Till next time...
