Loaded up Ellen's rucsac this morning and went for a run. Only missing a few items from the sac so could only have been a couple of kilos under what it will be. It felt fine. I think the fact that I usually do my shorter runs with a rucsac (not as heavy as this though) has helped.
So, I did 8 miles in about 75 mins and felt strong. Could have gone further but still recovering from WHW 07 which was only three weeks ago.
This is a great relief as I am thinking I might be able to add a couple of paperbacks to the list for Spain. Result!
Legend of the WHW Race Jim Drummond is, as I type, in Colorado taking part in the Hardrock 100 race. 100 miles long and with 33,000 ft of incline along the way. Jim is a physiological miracle...and a looney. I don't know how the guy does it. An inspiration.

The Idea
We, Arthur and Mark, are taking on El Camino de Santiago de Compostella. 480-ish miles from St.Jean Pied du Port in France, across the Pyrenees and through Northern Spain to Santiago.
Mark is looking to cover around a marathon a day and finish in no more than 23 days. Arthur will have to spend more time in the blistering heat covering around 15 miles per day.
Arthur and Mark will give regular updates on their travels and adventures.
