Drowned rats..........

While most of Felixstowe were watching the bomb exploding out at sea, Tracey & I were walking along the high road in the rain for what turned out to be just 6 miles in the end.
It has been a while since it has rained so much that we have had wet trousers & I had forgotten just how cold it makes you feel. As if that wasn't enough, we turned for the final 3 miles home facing a full on head wind.....what a struggle it was to walk at times.
We didn't really enjoy tonight's walk, just because of the weather, so were glad that it didn't have to be a long one....fingers crossed for good weather on Sunday for the 20 miler.....
We can't believe it's just over two weeks to the big night.....I read all my old blogs at the weekend & the time has gone so quickly: it's been a bit of a rollercoaster of a ride, full of highs & lows, aches & pains, walking over 300 (yes, I reached that milestone tonight!) miles in all types of weather........all for that very special one night. My poor £80 (!) trainers will just get me through that night, not so my special socks though...I have literally worn these out & have to buy a new pair.
I must finish the bra as well as we need to do a walk in them just to make sure they will be ok.....just have to decide when & where!!!
