No walk................

Unfortunately I was unable to walk tonight.
Nobody was able to join me due to poorly children & injuries. I really fancied at least a six miler but felt that it wasn't really safe for me to walk such a long route on my own. I surprised myself at how disappointed I felt. I think I have got used to walking regularly and had been looking forward to it but at least I walked on Tuesday albeit a shorter distance. Perhaps it's also about keeping the momentum of the training up? I am looking forward to the clocks going forward as I will then be able to walk longer distances on my own if need be. However, I will soon make up for not walking tonight as Tracey & I are hoping to do a long walk on Sunday.
I decided to go swimming as I felt I needed to do some form of exercise. I'm glad I did as it made me feel much better. I swam 1100m, so that brings my total this week to a mile, something I didn't think I would be able to achieve in two visits to the pool. The swim went well & like with the walking, the closer I got to my target, the more I pushed on. I felt like I had given my muscles a really good workout & arrived home in a better mood than before.
I can't believe that it's Friday tomorrow, another week almost over. The weeks are starting to rush by, bringing that big night much closer, only 9 weeks to go. I feel that I am now ready to increase my distance & frequency of walking & push on in readiness for that 20 miler........
