Thursday my quads were letting me know I had been back to body pump after an extended absence! My walking over the last couple of days has been limited to a 1.5 mile walk back from the garage on Thursday when I dropped the car off for its MOT (It passed!)
However, other non-walking events have been happening relating to my Moonwalk experience... Firstly, I brought some 1,000 miles socks which lots of ladies on the forums have been recommending AND I got my first sponsor on my 'justgiving' page! Thanks Tel! I've also got the justgiving widget working on the blog! It was actually very easy once I figured out where to put the code... I think that this Moonwalk will teach me as much about the internet as it will about my walking routes!
This morning I gave the new socks a test run on a 3.4 mile circular (and very hilly!) route around the village where I live. It's cold out! I did the walk in 48 minutes. Not bad! The route is entirely on country lanes with high verges, 12-15 feet and I only saw one car and one van during the entire time. Granted, it was quite early; I left home at 8:15, but whilst I quite enjoy the solitude, I can see how some people could potentially be put off of walking around here. Perhaps it's the townie in me, but I was aware of potential security concerns, especially for ladies or children walking alone. Definitely a route for daytime only for me, as there are no street lights out here in the sticks and that route would literally be pitch black at night!
