Quiet Week...
I've not updated very often lately as things have been quite busy... partly because my Dad and stepmum are here at the moment, and mostly as I am getting ready to move- I have decided to move into my friend's house as it will save us both quite a bit of money, which is very important, particularly in light of the fact that my bills are escalating constantly and the MdS is costing such a huge wedge of dosh...
She is willing to have Lucky as a lodger as well which is essential; the downside is that I am having to downsize in a major way, and get rid of most of my stuff- eBay is my new best friend!!
And, of course, I still have to keep up with the training... speaking of which, I have been building back up this week; I covered around 31 miles, plus had a good gym workout, with a three miler on the treadmill at a fairly fast pace (top speed of 7 mph but only for 2 minutes!!) plus some work on 'Brian' and the elliptical. Although I am now going to have to find a new gym as I will be moving to Nottingham very soon... I would love to find one with a summit trainer, such a fantastic bit of kit!
I have another 26 miler planned this weekend- the Waltham Winder, which I did last year- and the weekend after, there are two challenge walks that are fairly local; one on Saturday and one on Sunday. I am considering doing them both to get my first experience of doing long walks 'back to back', I will come to a decision nearer the time...
Winter is on it's cold dreary way- I had to scrape my car windscreen this morning! That's depressing...
