Distance 8 miles. Time Taken 2 Hours
Well, after a gap due to Christmas and New year, we did the first walk of 2012 this morning!
It was gorgeous. The sun was out, the sky was blue and it was heaven. I haven't really managed to get any distance in since our last walk so it was bit of a shock to the system. We also realised that we have been slightly cheating ourselves. This is because the last few 8 mile walks we have done have been on flat terrain (along the sea front) and this was the first road walk we have done for a few weeks. I had forgotten how much harder it is to do when there are hills and traffic lights involved.
We also had to incorporate a trip to Tesco into the walk so I could pick up a new Skylander for my son that we had on order (thanks Sam lol)
Reassuringly, despite the three week break, we still manged to maintain a fairly steady mile per minute. Due to the app playing up, I am unable to add exactly what our minute per mile time was.
We are both panicing a teeny bit as the walk will be on us in under 5 months!! We have worked out that going by the training plan, we need to do the final 20 mile walk the last week of April, before the kids break up for Easter. The plan is then, that every other week we are upping the distance by 2 miles. We have done 8 for a few weeks though, so next week are going for 10 miles! Got a feeling thats going to hurt a bit.
It's all getting a bit real now. Next month we have to sort out the train tickets for London. My Justgiving link has been handed out and it's countdown time now....OMG!!!!!!
