Another 16 and a half miles
I've just walked through the door after hiking 16 and a half miles. So far this week, covered 46 miles by foot training! Is it weird to take a photo of yourself?

Helvellyn 2: The Sequel
To cap off my training weekend, I woke up tired but determined to get more miles under my belt. I headed to the lakes to summit Helvellyn, a hike I did a couple of months ago. Much to my own annoyance, I forgot to take my jacket with me, and ended up very glad it didn't rain at all!
It took 5 hours in total but I wanted to do 6 hours in total so did another hour hike when I got back to good old Standish. It was definitely difficult to wake up this morning after hiking yesterday, but feel chuffed after completing these last two days. A well earned rest now!

Tired but still smiling
It really is no rest for the wicked!
I broke up from school yesterday and have just completed a 16 and a half mile walk (the half definitely counts!) in 5 hours 40min. I walked a 5.5 mile circuit that I know 3 times, and I walked the first lap with Honey. The highlight had to be the couple who thought I was joking that I was on the 3rd time around! Now, a can of pop, pasta and a pizza for tea and a long bath.

Only 4 weeks to go...
Arrrggghhh!!!
Ok now I've got that out of the way, it really does feel pressing and I don't feel as in shape as I should be. But I think that's just because it's so close now. I've got my injections done, received my VISA sorted, and thanks to Philippa Russman now have my 4-season sleeping bag ready. Been mega busy at work over the last 3 weeks so am now chomping at the bit to get out on the road. Gonna plan to train some tomorrow and some Sunday.
Onwards and upwards....
