Im a bit late posting this blog, but on Sunday l managed todo my 20 mile walk, the first mile or so was a killer, l could of quite happliy gone home back to bed, l only got up halfhour earlier, but not being a morning person this never sits well, l think my muscles hadnt warmed up, as l got a few shooting pains in my legs as l started, once l got over the first couple of miles l was away, the morning was beutiful, just the right tempriture for walking, lmade a real effot not to gulp water down this time , as l seem to spend all my time on the loo otherwise, hubby met me with the kids a few times on route with water, bananas, and moral support wich always helps. When l got to about 17 miles l hit a brick wall, not with pain, or the urge to stop, just found re walking over the same route that l had just done hard, l tried to plan my route not to do this, but couldn't avoid 3 miles of back tracking, this really does prove that most of this challange is in your head. Well l completed my 20 miles and felt really good, my trainers were comfi, and my new socks which my sisiter sent me were fantastic, l got straight into a cool shower which helps, and spent the rest of the day with the kids, 5hrs 50 mins it took not bad l thourght,

Im really pleased yes l feel a little stiff behind my knees, and bum but not as much as l was expecting, l really do feel good, l could do with a pedicure though my feet look like they need some tlc, should l feel like another walk at this stage? because l do, lm taking this as a possative thing, l'm abit dissapointed as l have just weighed myself and l havn't even lost a pound, l havnt been a saint with my food but also not been bad, l'm determined to get this weight off, so l will stick at it.
I think l might go for a five miler tonight, make the most of this nice weather, winter comes soon anough

My final six days before the big event, l really am looking forward to going to the moonwalk, l've booked my train ticket, checked my ipod, l'm going todo a short walk tonight to keep my muscles going, maybe another on Wednesday and thats it, l just want to get there now, the weather is forcast to be good, which l'm pleased about, oh how much l dont want rain, still havnt decided if l'm walking in a decorated bra or not.
When l first put my name down for this event, l dont think l gave much thourght to the milage, the training involved or how l would feel, l'm so glad l've gone for it, l feel great, much fitter, my clothes look better, l've gone down two dress sizes, and it hasnt all been diet diet diet, l still enjoy my nights out, the odd nibble or two, but you can, aslong as you exercise, l say go for it if your tempted.
Will write again later in the week,

Hi All
Sorry its taken so long to post this message, but l've had just a hectic week or so, The MoonWalk l hear you say, yes l did it, hear goes
A couple of days before the big event, l couldn't find my ipod, that was the first panic, when you train to music, and visulise doing your walk to various tracks, it comes as a bit of a blow, when you realise there isnt going to be any steps, abba, or the noalans blearing down your ears in the wee small hours of the morning, but l got my head round it, asked the kids to have a good look round, no joy! I did a couple of short walks on the final week, but really wantedto conserve energy, knowing this wasnt going to be a walk in the park! Had a couple of restless night's thinking about going on my own, not finishing, being on my own, what am l doing ect, very quickly gave myself a talking to, and got motivated.
The big day, my youngest, hasnt been to good, she's got tonsilites, hubbie took her to out paitents, she's got some pensilyn, dont really like leaving her, when she's like this.
Well the family dropped me off at the station, a couple of moonwalkers were there, so l felt quite exited knowing l was part of a huge event, the weather was lovely, l dont think l could of asked for better, the atmosphere on the train was great, there was quite alot of ladies, all dressed in there t-shirts and caps, nice we all gave eachother a smile and a hello united together in one cause. The journey went really quickly, l'm impressed, l might have to go for a days shopping.
Left Wavely station with two other ladies who l met on route, we got some food supplys from M&S, and then got a taxi, the other adies wanted to be dropped off at the univercity, here comes panic number 2! l got out went in the direction they pointed to me, wrong! move l was going in the wrong direction, anyway soon righted myself with the help of a freindly taxi driver. I soon got reasurense from why l did this on my own.
Speak to you soon for the arrival
