Tired...tired...tired

Oh, am so very tired!!

I think possibly it's the 42 miles of last week that have caught up with me......or, maybe it's just the training itself, after all, we are pushing ourselves mentally & physically so much more now.....

Tracey & I walked 8 miles on Monday & Wednesday evening......

Tuesday's walk was great...really quick & I felt pretty good, just tired but happy. However...the old wooden-legs were back last night....I also felt very tired...but I did the 8....just don't ever give up...keep plodding on, even if you feel your feet won't go one in front of the other anymore.....trust me, I know what that feels like. Of course, I am so lucky to have Trace beside me (though sometimes way ahead of me...but it gives me that ooomph to keep going!!) she really is my star & I know that I couldn't do this without her....XXXXXXXX

It's funny, well, not really, but you know what I mean, I start the walk & often the first 2-3 miles seem to drag (or is that just my feet??!! DON'T laugh Trace) my calf muscles ache, then my knees, then my hips, then just ME!! But, luckily, the longer we walk, everything just flows & I forget about how many miles we still have to go, just focus on the one we are walking.....

The good old PMA is really helping me along......I HAVE to believe that I can & will do this again....and I WILL.

I just cannot believe that it's only just over 3 weeks away...OMG!! I am soooooo very excited! We were talking about this during a walk recently & we think that we will enjoy (mad word, but hey, it IS an amazing night!!) it more this year...we know what to expect...been there, done that, bought the t shirt...literally!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!!

Anyway, to help with my tiredness (maybe it's just life as well, so hectic!) I have started to eat more carbs, juice more & just generally take good care of myself........my body is a temple....not quite I know, but it sounds good!!

16 miles on Sunday..then the enormous 20 the following Sunday.....well, bring it on...let's go girls....
