21 miles

Blip today is from our first rest point at 10.5 miles
We walked 21 miles today and are delighted with our average time and overall time of 5hrs 56mins. We are three weeks away from the Wye Valley Action Challenge 100k wall. We are a little behind on our training programme, however only by about a week...next week we do two back to back 20miles (it should have been this week according to training programmes) and then start reducing the amount ready for the big event. Our only slight concern is that due to the hot weather we have been walking in trainers as they are cooler than walking boots (action challenge advise trainers for hot weather) however if it rains on the event we need to wear boots and our boots are simply not comfortable after about 15miles!! So let’s hope for dry weather!!

Home now and as we have been up since 5am we are just going to chill in the garden. Busy week coming up and Chris is off to Germany tomorrow. I was due to go as well (work) but unfortunately I am required in the UK and we decided my presence in Germany at a meeting was not a major priority.
