Got back from Yorkshire yesterday - managed to do a couple of walks, bit slow and leisurely, but at least I managed to get out and about. Much nicer area to walk though - below is the view from my mum's house.....

Today is officially the first day of training ...... three mile walk planned for today .... time to get serious!!!!

Not done any walking since my last blog - no real reason really, just been very busy. Going up to Yorkshire tommorrow to spend a few days with my family - taking my walking gear with me so hope to get a couple of walks in. The training programme starts for real next Sunday......

Managed to get out at last today!! Did a four mile walk today and it took about 1 hour 15 mins - not too bad. Few of the pavements were still icy so had to take it easy in a few spots. Like lots of other people, I'm waiting (impatiently) for the welcome pack. Think it will seem more real then.

Managed four mile quite okay, however on a more personal note, think I'm going to have to take into account toilet stops when working out any longer walks!!!! Mind you it certainly makes you walk faster when you're dying for the loo!! ha ha.

Depending on weather, I think I'll try to get out again on Monday morning - three or four mile - not sure yet, might depend on what time I get out of bed....

Happy walking xx

Well the weather certainly put a stop to my plans to do a four mile walk this week .......

The pavements are still all icy. I'm hoping I can get out on Satuday morning - the weather forecast is for sunny at the mo... lets wait and see.

Last walked on Friday morning - did the usual three miles. Took the dog again so not really too worried about the time, it took me 54 mins. It was a cold and frosty morning so am pleased with myself for actually going out walking!!

Hoping that the training programmes will be out soon, but in the meantime might try to challenge myself to a four mile walk one day this week!!! Still can't get my daughter to join me walking - hope she will get motivated when the training programmes come out.
