9th May
7km Urban jungle walk
Incline 300 meters x 5 times twice
So many thoughts , so slow ended up on my own, hence song choice in head, "all by myself", "one is the Loneliness number", back not to bad a couple of twinges, walked with poles, cheered on by dogs.
Build up to 10kg in backpack sit on it for a few months then increase prior to going. On my own farting.

16th May
Walked with the big pack girls 16kg mine was lucky to be 3kg
Did 2 hills, 3 sets of stairs, and one giant ramp that went on forever and I died at the top, fogged up my glasses and had to walk down the ramp without them, blind as a bat
Met up with the other teams as we had been broken up into teams of three
The big pack girls had to wear their pack, 8kg and above whilst the rest of us had to hold our packs over our heads whilst we did squats and lunges
We then ran 400m around the oval
By this stage I really wanted to die
This btw was after my brutal massage the day before

Term 2 commenced but had a very sore throat so decided to give it a miss
Trek Training
25th July
Backpack 8kg and walked in bush roughly 7km with lots of up and down trails. Stair jumping in sets of 5 so new trainer and different techniques. First time no pain in feet and I didn't double sock in my hiking boots, so think I'm on a winner in the feet department. Getting sick of the foggy glasses though so will need to investigate anti fog.
