5 Miles under my belt!

Well as the title says I managed to complete 5 miles this morning.

I need to get some new socks!! My trainers are really comfy but I can't stop my socks from rubbing once i've been walking for about an hour. I am sporting 2 blisters!! The walk was good. The weather was good for walking. Dry and quite fresh. I did have the wind blowing in my face for about 40 minutes but once I turned around it was giving me a helping hand. Quite a few big hills mixed into the walk today so I wasn't seeing how fast I could finish but I was still walking pretty fast (well for me anyway)

I managed the 5 miles in just under 1 hour 30. Once my blisters have healed a bit and i've bought some new socks i'm going to try another 5 mile walk then onto the 7 mile.

My training pack hasn't come yet but according to the Walk the Walk website they are being sent out towards the end of January. So I suppose it'll be here any day now. the official 12 week training doesn't start until about the 22nd February so i'm getting a bit of a head start.

I'll write again once I have new socks and I am blister free. I'm going to miss out Mondays walk but hope to get out on Thursday morning whilst Elliott is at nursery.

Thanks for reading and many thanks to anyone else who has sponsored me. xx
