God I am surprised my legs aren't yelling out in protest!
Saturday I did four miles
Sunday Clare and I did 7 miles
Monday Clare and I did 6 miles
and today we did.......
12 miles!!!!!
We walked to Bournemouth Tesco on Castle Lane and back in 3 hours 25 mins which I am really chuffed about.
We had one really bad mile at about 6 miles which was a twenty minute mile, but that was a run of one pedestrian crossing after another, but otherwise averaged 16 ish minute miles.
It was a lovely route and nice and flat so no horrible hills, but it was sooo cold. I think it was the equivilent of -5 out there today. My legs were so cold they were hurting without aching. The last mile was really painful, but better than I thought it would be
The thing that surprised me the most is the fact that I do not ache at all! I remember doing the small 5/6 mile walks at the start of this and being in agony at the end of it. I did have a really hot shower, but have no aches or pains at all now. I probably feel fitter than I have done in my life!
The huge milestone is though we are one mile of completing a half marathon, massive achievement!
We are allowing ourselves a week off next week as it is half term then doing another 12 before going for 14 eeekkkkk!
