Walk & swim...

Tracey & I walked a speedy 4 miles last night before jumping (not literally) into the pool to swim 500m.
I enjoyed the walk as it was easy to step it out quickly knowing that it was only a short walk. The last two weeks leading up to the big night will involve speedy 5 milers, as we will (OH, YES, WE WILL!) have completed our 20 miler by then. We then just have to let our bodies recover (!) whilst still training, hence the shorter walks.
After the bit of rain we experienced on Sunday morning, we were a bit shocked to be confronted by pouring rain half way round. No caps to protect us this time & the rain was dripping off our faces. Quite an experience! I think we have now walked through all weather, except snow & with the weather forecast for Easter, who knows.....!!
Tracey, Dons & I will be walking tomorrow evening, hopefully an 8 or 10 one, depending on the time we start. Tracey & I are then going to do our early Sunday walk & you never know, I may jump over "my wall" & do a bit of a longer one....fingers crossed.
I think that we are all coming into our own with our training & now finding out what suits each of us individually. Tracy & Dons are walking & going to the gym more & hopefully have sorted out their injuries & problems. I am happy with my mixture of gym, swimming & longer (mostly, anyway!!) walks. As for personal trainer......she is just there for me & continues to be so encouraging & supportive in her special way.
My sponsor money is now starting to come in & that in itself gives me that extra encouragement to keep going..........just over 8 weeks to go...& dare I say it....I CAN'T WAIT...!!!!!! I am mad.
