Well..........

My back is feeling a lot better than it did a few days ago! Still not brilliant but not terrible either.

I'm going to try and go out in the morning for an hour or so.

I don't intend on doing miles and miles but I need to see how it feels before I try and do a big 

long walk at the weekend. I am hoping for 18 miles this weekend. It is a bit daunting especially with a less than 

perfect back but I need to give it a go. I will go armed with painkillers and deepheat rub to get me by.

I dyed my bra PINK today and it looks great. It's still wet but even wet the colour looks really good. I got 2 iron on 

rhinestone Breast Cancer ribbon motifs to put on the front and I will add sparkles around them. Pictures to follow.

I will let you know how I get on tomorrow. Wish me luck with the back. I think i'm going to need it!

Well that's messed up that idea!!!!

I'm currently sat on the sofa in agony!! My back has gone funny again and it really hurts. I felt it twang as I got into the car this morning and has gradually gotten worse and worse. I can't stand up straight either.

I am sat here with a heat pack on in the hope that it might help and I've also taken pain killers. This keeps happening every few weeks so I think it's time I saw someone!!

I'm gutted as I am all geared up to do my 18 mile walk tomorrow which looks like an impossibility right now.

Oh well I have 2 more weekends after this one to get my 18 and 20 mile walks done. Hopefully I won't be out of action for too long :-( 

7 miles walked yesterday

That was a nice walk. I had a good mix of hills which was welcome after walking on the flat at Southsea last weekend. It was really quite warm as well.

I added up today that I have walked 95 miles for far in my training. Not as many miles that I should have walked I don't think but at least I have trained and not left it until the last minute. I have got to walk 16 or 18 miles this weekend. Of course I'd love to get the 18 under my belt which just leaves 20 for next weekend. I'll see how it goes.

My booklet arrived yesterday with the route in which is quite exciting. It doesn't look very far on the map!!!

I'll write again after my weekend walk. I hope the weather stays nice but rain is forecast x

Feeling better!

I can actually walk today without every footstep hurting! 2 days since my walk. The weather is getting hotter. It's supposed to be 18 degrees tody, 19 tomorrow and 20 on Thursday with isn't so great as that's when i'm doing my next walk. It'll only be an 8 miler as it's when Elliott's at nursery. I need to remember i'm going for distance NOT speed.

I keep forgetting and set off too fast and get a bit tired out at about the 10 mile mark.

Then at the weekend I'll be heading back down to Southsea for my 16-18 mile walk. Must be mad!!

All for a great cause. I now have my bra which I need to get some sequins stuck on. I have ordered some pink sparkly fabric from ebay to make a little skirt on the bottom to cover up the spare tyre!

Just need to get hold of some fabric glue!

I will update after my Thursday walk presuming I haven't got heatstroke ;-)

I only did 12 miles

And I can't move! Just goes to show what not doing any walking for 3 weeks does!

I went down to Southsea and it was beautiful. The sun was shining even if it was a bit windy. I got there for 0720 and off I went. I walked 6 lengths which was only 12 miles. I was a bit gutted as I thought it was further but nevermind!

I'm really aching today to the point that each footstep hurts but it'll be ok. I'm going to go on another walk on Thursday and then I am aiming for 16-18 miles at the weekend in preperation for the 20 mile walk the weekend after.

I need to stretch as I can't believe how much I hurt at the moment. I'm such a wimp! I did get my first thumbs up from a lady who I presume is doing the Moonwalk too. I was wearing my Cap and t-shirt just to show off what I was training for.

I'm off to grab the deep heat! Take care x

 

Oh it's been a while!

I can't believe it's been so long since I've walked.

It's 30 days until Moonwalk and i'm bricking it. We came home from our holiday on Tuesday and since then I have had a horrible tummy bug. Today I am feeling better. Not brilliant but better.

My T Shirt, bra and cap came today which i'm going to wear on the night which is good. Not sure if the bra will be any good. It fits ok but isn't very supportive. Mght have to go out and buy something else that feels more comfy. Then time to get the glue and sequins out!

I'm hoping to get a walk done tomorrow. Not sure how far i'll manage but i've got to do something. Elliott's back at nursery on Monday but Emma doesn't go back to school until Wednesday. That means I can get another walk in on Thursday whilst Elliott's a nursery.

My 20 mile walk is planned for the 3rd May. That's going to be fun!!!! Need to try and up the mileage between now and then. 13 miles is the furthest I've done so far so I really need to try and do another 13 at least tomorrow.

I'll be back soon to let you know how I got on.
