Mrs. Pannell left the house quite early today, and turned up about 30 minutes ago casually announcing she had just run 15 miles (as you do on the first day of the year!).
No - she's not mad - as a veteran of the London Marathon, she's now in training for the Rome Marathon- that's right - the one in Italy!
To explain -in one of my previous posts I extolled the virtues of Christians in Sport where Sam is going later this month. Well, it turns out that this is a regular outing for them ( the shortened names brigade -Wellsy, Lancs, Milesy etc - remember?) and for the past couple of years a few of them have run it - and completed it in good times too. As Sam didn't want to be left out he decided to apply - and as he needed someone to help him train - so did Sarah!
And they both got in!! Champerton!
As you can see from the picture it's a pucker event and takes in all the sights and sound of this historic city - I thought they might at least have finished off some of the building work though - that place at the back is in a terrible state! (Philistine!!)
So - it all happens on 18 March 2007 - so watch this space!
