Good intentions!

Actually I should maybe have called this entire blog 'good intentions' but it would leave room for doubt that I may not achieve LEJOG, so maybe not! Positive thinking from the start.
So this is my first post ahead of my first real training week. Did a reasonable amount of cycling in Oct/Nov which only served to highlight how averagely fit I indeed am. Now Taskmaster/Routemaster/Personal Trainer/General all round good egg has been on my case to get on with it in earnest.
A bit of background to explain why a woman of a certain age should want to ride from Land's End to John O'Groats:
August 2009 saw me playing support vehicle, first aid nurse and general all round good egg to IronmanJohn as he fulfilled an ambition to become a JOG-Ler (John O'Groats to Lands End). He did it despite everything that the British weather could throw at him. Being August in Scotland that, of course, mostly included howling winds and horizontal rain. Given that I witnessed the horror of this from the relative comfort of our campervan you'd have thought I would have run a mile at the prospect of doing same. However, having witnessed all sorts of people completing the trip from either end I actually became inspired. Plus when I reached 30 and 40 yrs of age I never had any particular reaction to it so I guess I am long overdue a midlife crisis. So there we have it. As I mentioned in my profile, one averagely fit woman with below average sporting motivation now committed to giving it a go.
