The real training begins!

Did my first proper long walk on the roads today. I walked from home to where Sam works in Wellingborough (10km) in an hour and a half. It was quite hilly too, so good practice for the real thing.

Quite pleased with that and feel as though I have made a good start. The thought of doing 10 of those back-to-back is pretty daunting, but on the whole I am feeling pretty positive at the moment.

Off to soak in the bath now, trying to avoid being stiff in the morning!
