Goodness me I just walked 10 miles!!

As the title says really I just got back from walking 10.24 miles. That took me 2.5 hours and I really enjoyed it. 

I would have enjoyed it more had my little toe stopped rubbing but I plodded on anyway. I have fantastic socks so I think the next thing to try and change is my trainers. Maybe some with a bigger toe area. The thought of walking 26 miles is scaring the life out of me at the moment but i'm sure it'll all be fine!

Off to have a soak in the bath now. I'll be back soon xx

8 miles walked today - Result!

And now my ankles are hurting and i'm starting to ache a bit.

It was a really fresh morning. Blue sky and the sun was shining. However there was quite a hard frost which made it a little difficult to walk at any speed for a couple of miles. I was enjoying my Podcasts and music. I have noticed that my pace is picking up a little. The last time I walked I did 5 miles in just under 1 1/2 hours. Today I managed 8 miles in 2 hours which I thought was pretty good.

My new socks are just perfect and i'm glad I spent a little extra as they are SO comfortable. My little toe started to rub a bit towards the end but I think it's where it was broken years ago. It's a bit of a funny shape. Will get some cushioning for that I think.

I'm hoping to go for another walk on Saturday. Probably not as far as today. Maybe 5 miles. Then the walk after that i'll do the 8 again but see if I can get another mile sneaked in at the end.

Thanks for reading if you got this far. I'll report back soon xx

I haven't walked for a week!

So I am hoping to get a jolly good walk in tomorrow. The sun is supposed to be shining and i'm really looking forward to it. I wasn't really able to do any walking this week as we've had snow and torrential rain!

I have just been out and bought some new socks. They are made my Falke and they cost me £11 so they better be good or i'm going to be most upset. If I still get a blister tomorrow then I think it'll be time to invest in some more trainers. I didn't want to change the trainers 1st. I started with the cheap option.

Elliott is at nursery tomorrow so that gives me 2 1/2 hours. I should be able to walk a fair distance in that time as long as I remain blister free!

Wish me luck. I'm going to need it after having a week off. I'll report back tomorrow xx
