A little disappointed today!

I was intending on doing a really good 6 or so miles today. The weather is dry and perfect for walking. iPod is loaded with music and pod casts. Comfy trainers and my 1000 mile socks at the ready.

I dropped Elliott of at nursery and realised I had left my iPod at home. I can't really walk without it as I get bored so in the car I got and went home to collect it. I parked up at nursery and off I went.

Loving the walk, feeling the burn of a hill that looks almost flat when you're in the car but feels like you're climbing a mountain when you're actually walking it. About 45 minutes in my little toe feels like it starting to rub a bit so I figure i'll make it to the end of the road (which is just under half a mile long) and i'll sort my sock out!

Well I got to the end, sorted my sock out where it had been rubbing and I think i'm getting a blister! I did my trainer back up and it's really sore. I decided to end my walk there for fear of getting a big nasty blister. So I am a bit disappointed. I wanted to keep walking until Elliott finished nursery at 12. Instead I finished at half 10, only an hour after I started!

I have worked out with my friend Google Earth that I managed 4.7 miles today. Still better than nothing isn't it. I'm going to try and get some seamless socks to stop the rubbing. Hopefully I'll manage a longer walk on Thursday. Take care xx
