Good Evening,
Well I managed a 10 mile walk today..... the weather did initially put me off this morning.. but after a phone call from Sue we went out regardless, and I took my husbands Musto with me just in case of the heavy rain....
Within minutes the Musto had to come off and went round my waist ( it was a pain and I spent most of my time pulling it up ) timing was good and completed in 2 hours 10 minutes..
I've spent the rest of the day watching chick flicks.... My husband has just rung, I've not seen him since the 4Th January. His ship was involved in a freak accident this afternoon and 2 men were washed overboard..... I think he could do with a cuddle, I know I could do with one....
I've still not managed to go and buy my new trainers.....
Anyway till next time.

Good evening,
This will be a very quick blog tonight as I am just in from work 23.20hours.... I sneaked off as I really shouldn't finish till midnight but all was Q out there...
Managed to do a 5 mile this morning in 1 hour 12 Min's.... 1 minute slower than the last 5 miler....
It was a lot warmer today, no gloves or scarf needed and even managed to wear my three quarters training pants...
I need to go and buy some new trainers though.. (a job for the weekend) and I will put socks and chewing gum on my list.
I registered my interest on the race for life today as well....Must be crazy..but hopefully going to be doing it with work colleagues...
Anyway off to bed now

Friday 9th February 2009
Hello,
Well I was up bright and breezy this morning, and OMG it was FReeeeeezing.....
Me and Sue was out walking by about 09.10 am and we both had extra layers on , I had leg warmers under my tracksuit bottoms and 2 long sleeved tops as well as a scarf, gloves and a hat..
We kept a good pace and did 71/2 miles in 1 hour 38 minutes...
We did have a little stop only for a few minutes though , as we came across a frozen pond. The ice was really thick.
When I got in my legs were bright red and it took me a few minutes to get the circulation going.
After a shower, we were off to grab some well earned lunch at Nando's ( Yummy ) and a bit of a look around the shops.
It's now 18.20 and I am aching a little ( the tops of my legs ) but after a hot bath, I will be good.
Anyway till next time.

7th January 2009 Happy New Year...
Happy New Year.....
Well, I haven't done much training since November...things have been pretty hectic....
A friends daughter died at the beginning of December and my daughter came out of Prison..... so things have been thrown into turmoil.
We managed to have a nice Christmas, we did something completely different and went out on the boat on Christmas day and the boys wake boarded and New Years eve we had a Abba / 70's night and managed not to wake up with a hangover... Yippeeeee....
My husband went back to his ship on Sunday (4Th January), I might get to see him in February and then not again till August when he returns from his deployment from the far east.
So today was my first rest day and I was determined to get back on the wagon.
It was freezing.... BBBBBRRrrrrrrrr....... temperatures are very low below zero... so plenty of layers and hats and gloves today.
I walked with my friend Sue who has now got her place confirmed. We did a 5 mile walk in 1 hour 11 minutes, so we were quite pleased..
We are planning a slightly longer walk on Friday and then going to go for lunch as a treat.
My plan is to walk when possible now and get my training plan out again...
So until then.

Good Afternoon,
Not feeling to brill today, I seem to have a cold coming...... I ache all over and have a slight sore throat.
I told my friend last night that I would get up early and do a short walk with her, so literally dragged myself out of bed at 07.00.
We walked up the seafront, a quick 3 miles.Good news is the air temperature is a lot warmer today.
I went back to bed when I got in once Lewis had gone to school as I am not working till 14.00 and on till midnight.
Anyway off to work I go, cycling proficiency teaching to do today.

Sunday 23rd November 2008
Good Evening,
What a busy weekend...
On Thursday evening I booked TAKE THAT tickets...for July 3rd... something to look forward to after the walk because I know I will go on a bit of a low when the walk and training will finish.
I managed to catch up with Lot's of friends and of course my lovely hubby came home for the weekend ( he has just left to go back to the ship in Plymouth )
The plan was to do a 8 mile walk this morning, with a friend ( Sue ) she is still waiting to here if she has a place. BUT.........When I looked out of the window this morning the weather was awful so decided to knock it on the head. Then at about 12.00 the sun came out so our plan's changed again. We decided to do a 5 mile walk around the air base. It was cold and the wind was blowing so I put on my training top and an extra hoody but by the time I got to the end of the road I was quite hot, so the hoody ended up being round my waist. We kept the pace up and completed in just over an hour.
My legs ache a little now but in general I feel good. Nothing a hot bath won't sort out.
Busy week ahead at work, so I will see what I can fit in this week.
Speak later,
