Walk days

I think i'm going to change "Next walk" to "Miles left to walk this week". I'm really not doing very well at going out for my walks on the days I'm supposed to. I'm still getting the distances done but at different times.

Distance: 6.2 miles
Time: 9:00am
Weather: Glorious sunshine, nice fresh breeze and a lovely little bit of haze hanging over the city.
Time taken: 1.5 hours (4mph)

I had a really nice walk today. I walked to Arthur's Seat, up and round the road and then back to my flat. It was really enjoyable. I stopped to take some photos and enjoy the views. My headphones are broken so it was just me and the sound of my feet. This had one advantage/disadvantage... it gave me time to think.

Things I realised:

• They're right when they say replace your shoes after a marathon. Mine have done training for and participated in 2 x 5K runs and 1 marathon. They're really not comfy anymore. My heel felt like it was on fire by the time I got home and all the cushioning has gone. This is really annoying as it's at least £60 I can't spare at the minute.
  

• I need a new sports bra. Fair enough, on the night I have to wear some silly little decorated number but there's no reason I should suffer in the meantime.

• My water bottle leaks. Think I'll go back to trusty Sigg bottles.

Miles still to walk this week: 3 (tomorrow)

Slight slip from the plan.

Monday and Wednesday's walks didn't happen due to not feeling great and also having a uni deadline fast approaching. I did however have an unscheduled walk of 3 miles today so if I bump tomorrow's walk up to 4 miles, I'll still have done enough distance to make up for Friday's 3 mile walk and the 2 x 2 mile walks from earlier in the week.

Next walk: (Study permitting) Friday, 4 miles.

Weekend walks

How odd, the post I put up on Saturday has completly disappeared.

Only managed 2 miles on Saturday as I wandered home from the farmers market (got a bus a mile from home as I needed to get home and start working. I made up for it though with an unscheduled 3 mile walk home from my rehearsal on the meadows yesterday.

Thankfully the weather held up for both my walks though Saturday was a bit blustery.

Next walk: today, 2 miles.

Two for the price of one.

I really must resist the urge to start every entry with "Well".

Tuesday's walk didn't happen as I wasn't feeling well but I made up for it this evening. I walked 3 miles to my BFS rehearsal. Played about for an hour and a half then after chat walked back 3 miles. So really I've done 2 miles extra on top of what I needed to for Tuesday/Thursday.

Weather was clear. Timing was pretty good, faster there than back as had company on the way home. Happy.

Next walk: Saturday, 3 miles.

Sunday March 8th

It was so cold today. Walked 2 miles uphill to Calton Hill for a rehearsal. It was a slow walk as i had the wind in my face the majority of the way. Walked nearly 2 miles back after rehearsal but thankfully the weather had eased a bit by then.

Next walk: tuesday, 2 miles.

Ouch!

Yesterday's Earth point rehearsal took more out of me than expected. Must remember to start streching on a daily basis for the sake of my poor aching arms.

So I decided to give my muscles a rest and not walk today. Should make up for it tomorrow though with a 3 mile walk to the farmer's market in the morning.

Now I'm going for a hot bath as the taps have finally been fixed. Yay!

Extra walks

I didn't have a walk scheduled for today but after a fun evening running around on the meadows at a Beltane rehearsal I decided to walk the 2.5 miles home.

Didn't time it but was buzzing from the evening and really enjoyed it.

4th March

I only needed to walk a mile today but a combination of needing to go to Sainsbury's and Greig's flat meant I actually walked nearly 3.5 miles.

It was lovely and sunny with just a very mild breeze, my favourite walking conditions.

Next walk: Friday, 2 miles.

March 2nd

Well I am now 16 weeks away from the Moonwalk so the training officially starts here. To avoid confusion of having to alter and change my training plan, I'm starting it again from the beginning. I'm also going to make more of an effort to update this following walks.

So I walked 1 mile. I probably could have got away with taking it as a rest day as we walked a lot over the weekend in London but hey, it's not like a mile will kill me.

Next walk: Wednesday, 1 mile.
