What a beautiful day for walking!

So I did!!

I dropped Elliott off at nursery and off I went as usual. Today I hadn't planned any route. I just thought i'd see where my feet took me. Quite a few hills today which slowed me down a bit but I am going for distance not speed. I have some great music on my ipod, (I remembered NOT to sing today as I was caught on Thursday and felt like an idiot) the sun was shining brightly and was so warm on my face. I pushed myself a bit today to try and walk faster even up the hills.

I got home after collecting Elliott and plotted my walk on Google Earth and was a little disappointed that i'd only done 8.5 miles. I was hoping i'd completed 10 at the most. Ah well it's better than being sat at home I suppose.

Darren and I started our diets again today. I'm almost off the steroid that was helping the weight gain and i'm in the right frame of mind to get losing again. Out of the 2.5 stone I lost last year I have only put on 1 stone 5lbs! This cheered me up as I thought i'd put nearly all of it back on.

So onwards and upwards. I'll go for another walk on Thursday and then I am hoping to do a long one over the weekend at some point. I need to complete 13 miles. I think once I've done that then some of my worries about actually being able to complete the 26 will go... well I hope so anyway! 8 weeks Saturday!!!

Cheers for reading xx
