Stamina...................

Tracey & I walked just 4 miles on Sunday evening...weather had been crap all day & in true Felixstowe style, was very windy!!

We didn't want to risk getting caught in a torrential downpour, so thought we'd just do a quick 4 miles. It was good, did a different route, avoiding the sea front & awful wind, although we were up against the wind on occasions & it was really hard! It felt really good to step it out & we finished in 55 mins, although I have to say that personal trainer was ahead of me quite a bit as I seem to dragging my heels at the moment. Mind you, she is super fit!!!!

I think I just need to walk more & build my stamina up again. I guess that I should remember that I wasn't well in the autumn & that it really knocked me for six. I know I will be fine & am looking forward to walking more, especially those early Sunday morning walks, but not in the snow like last year!

I went to the gym at lunchtime today...6k on the bike then lots of mat work & stretching. Then tonight it was body combat....OMG does she work you hard?!! It's an hour of such intense exercise but it feels fab to punch out. I certainly know that I've done it.....I love it....although at the time I really HATE it!!!! You know what I mean!!

I think (hope) that the gym & combat will help me get stronger & I'll soon be striding out on those long walks with confidence.....
