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
