My First Steps
Welcome all, this is the first time l've done anything like this, somewhat of a novise.
What is all this about? l'm doing the moonwalk in Edinborough on the 14th June 2008, and just started my training a couple of weeks ago, its going really well, and l'm loosing weight aswell, which isnt a bad thing, as l have a bit to loose, any words of encouragement l welcome, or advice.

Hi All
Just been on a five mile walk, trying to improve my pace, a l left the start of training a bit late, 1hr 20min not bad l thourght, as there was a few hill in that, but some of the views were stunning, it all makes it worth while. I really felt like l could keep going, once l get in my stride there's no stopping me. Trying my hardest to keep of the goodies, not sure if that will mean leaving off a glass of wine tonight, Weighed myself today at Boots l've lost a stone, wow something must be working at last.

Hi All
Last night decided to go for a evening walk after having a good sleep in, l walked 10 miles last night, at first l really didn't fel in the mood for it, but once l got going there was no stopping me, l seem to be inproving at the start as l have always been a bit of a slow starter, l got to 4.5 miles a hour so l am really pleased with that, l did slow dow towards the end, but you should cool down aswel, the views were fantastic, the sunset makes it all worth while, tv seems to be a bit boring at the moment, l'm sure thats a good sign.
Weigh day tomorrow, l'm hoping for some weight loss, but l have had a few to drink this week and a takeway, l know not good, but all work and no play makes you boring.
I'm going to see how l feel tonight, as when l slowed down last night l twisted my knee, l may go for a small walk, but dont want to spoil things for the big event, this Sunday, l will be doing my 20 miles in preperation.

Well working up towards my 20 mile walk this weekend, the weather is forcast to be hot, so l think l will skip the sleepin and get a early start, armed with my water bladder, bananas and dextrosol l'm going for it, just a bit worried about my knee, it seems to twang now and again. Felt really tierd this week not really wanted to do much walking, l think your body knows, and you should really listern to it! I've woken in the night a few times now thinking about this callange, l'm not worried or regreting it at all, but a bit like going on holiday, you just want to get there. Not sorted my travel arrangements yet, must get on with that. I've decided Edinbourgh is not quite ready for me in a bra yet, so l'm walking in a t-Shrt, it must go cool through the night, and l dont want to be ill afterwards. Spoken to the moon walk team as l was charged twice by mistake, what a helpfull team.
Must start to work on my quiz, l' hoping to get most of my sponcer money from the one event.
