Almost half way there......

Last night, personal trainer & I walked 12.2 miles........

We added on what we thought would be a further 2 miles to our ten & were pretty accurate, finishing in 2 hrs 56. Must admit that when we started on the 11th, I did have a bit of a sinking feeling, but overcame the doubts & walked on. Again, that final mile seems to give me that urge to get to the end. I really hope that the crowd will pull us through those last few miles as I really think we will need it. Hopefully, our husbands will be there to support us, which will help so much as well. Am I crazy for feeling emotional about it already?? Perhaps it's the ten year thing for me?? Blimey, am sorry, that's getting quite personal isn't it, sorry for my honesty, don't want to be melodramatic about it, but hope you can begin to understand a bit how much everything means to me..... feel this is a real journey for me.......guess you will be reading what I am thinking over the next few weeks anyway!
Anyway, back to last night!! If someone had said to me that I would be walking for almost 3 hrs, I would have had a bit of a panic...crazy I know as we will take so much longer on the actual night........but I do think it's true what I am reading.....65% of this is in the mind. I have started saying things in my head to push along & I think that is helping. I am so determined to do this........each extra mile feels me with dread to begin with, but once you are walking, you seem to go with the flow of it all. Lets hope this follows through for the big 20 that we do 2 weeks before the big night!
Just have to add...........bladder control training going really well!!! Not a single moment of panic!! I also bought some Lucozade energy sweets, they were ok, not too sweet. Tracey also had some fruit pastilles (thanks to the gorgeous George for choosing them!!) & very tasty they were too. Not sure if I could eat much while walking, so maybe will just be small things like this that you can just suck!
New pink top also bought in readiness for the night, so am easily spotted now as well. Just need to start thinking about those bras.............
