Really nice walk along a lovely scenic route today. Today's walk was with Kate. We got the bus to just over 3 miles outside Balerno. From there we walked to the start of the Water of Leith. Nice walk through some lovely scenic areas. We were met part way along by Lorraine and her dogs. Finally made it to the end of the route in Leith, cramp in the arches of my feet but otherwise ok so walked the extra mile home.
Weather: gorgeous sunshine (aka freckle weather)
Company: Kate and Lorraine and 2 dogs
Distance: 17 miles
Time: 5 hours including lunch break etc
Next long walk: Sunday 31st May - 16 miles.

I decided to skip the seven mile walk I should have done on Friday as my knees were giving me real pain after my walk on Wednesday.
Had a fantastic 14 mile walk around the castle estate back home. Surrounded by beautiful forests, countryside, views of the lake district, what more could a girl want. Despite the hills I managed it without feeling too achey so I must be improving.
Saw lots of lambs and two deer in the road amongst so much else. The weather even held out for me too.

I had a really nice 7 mile walk out to the end of Portobello and back along the sea front. It was still windy but at least it wasn't as wet as the last time I did that walk.
Made good time on it too.

10th May
Ok so I failed for a while at keeping this blog. Beltane and life got in the way. However I am now back on track and fully training so I'm going to try and keep up with this again.
Went for a really nice long walk. 10 miles out to Roslin, then a number of miles through the glen before getting a bus back to town. My legs ached a bit but I figure a few more walks like that and I'll be fine. The road part was a little uninteresting but once in to the glen there was so many things to look at that I was distracted from how my legs felt.
Once back in town, I decided to push myself that bit further and walk the few miles home as well.
Miles: about 15
Time: irrelevant due to breaks and very uneven ground through the glen.
Weather: Sunshine (and sunburn) with intermittent cloud and light rain.
Company: Kate
