10 miler!!

Oh my! Trace & Dons walked 10 miles yesterday afternoon! Unfortunately they are both carrying injuries/aches but are not too bad! They did so well, especially as it was a very sunny afternoon & they had to dodge all the people out walking. Not sure if they will be able to do a walk in next few days, but, Trace can still go shopping..........SORRY Trace, you know I love you really!!
So, last night, in temperatures of 1-2 degrees & freezing fog, personal trainer & I decided to walk her 5 mile route & then come straight back, so doing 10 miles! It was VERY COLD! We managed it though, in 2 hours 26mins, very pleased with that. I have to say that it encouraged my bladder training, as I needed a wee only 3-4 miles in.......I resisted the urge to crouch somewhere....far too cold..& managed to last 9 miles until we passed Tracey's sister's house. I then felt invigorated & we walked the final mile (well, just under) in 11 mins.
Lessons to be learned then...do not have a big drink with your dinner....BUT more importantly...as I have painfully learned......ensure that you wear the correct & most comfortable pair of knickers....no more to be said, only that emails exchanged today caused much laughter on a cold Felixstowe morning!!!!!
Have just spoken to Dons, her & I planning to do a walk on Thursday evening. Had more laughs about knickers...............
