Positivity.............

We will be walking again this evening & the weather is looking good (famous last words??!!) although probably quite windy......not much change there, can't really remember a walk where it hasn't been a bit windy, one of the joys (!) of living by the sea!

I am lucky enough to be a member of a gym in town now, as well as the leisure centre one, so it's much easier to pop along during my lunchbreak, though having said that, last week was the first time I made use of it. I had started back at the LC one in December, but, as I have really only just started to feel close to 100% after my illness last October I really didn't want to push myself too soon. I actually went twice during lunch last week & am feeling better for doing so already...my legs are not so stiff & I think it's helping with my PMA!

Positivity.....

As I know only too well from last year, this is more than half the battle when it comes to training & getting through the BIG NIGHT. I am trying very hard (struggling) to put this into practise at the moment...it's all very well saying that we should be positive but we actually have to BE IT!!! Life is really shit (sorry, but true) sometimes but that's part of life unfortunately & we have to live through it & come out better, stronger people on the other side.....

We CAN do this & we WILL......don't let people take the piss out of you by saying......."it's only a walk", "how easy" etc etc....how many of them could train in all weathers over weeks & weeks & keep going when your body is struggling to put one foot in front of the other???? We will probably walk over 300 miles in our training, last year I did over 350, and then....

WE WILL WALK 26.2 MILES.........

So, ignore those people who are negative about the walk & focus only on those who give you support & encouragement.

There.

Here endeth the lesson.
