Final Long Training Walk

Saturday 5th Sep
It was back to Wakehurst for my final long training walk before the big day. 

Incorporating parkrun, encouraged by fellow Horley Harriers runners, with a bit more at the end to admire the beautiful gardens in the warm sunshine. 

What a way to start the day 💜

Longest walk

Friday 28th Aug
So last Saturday Ali mapped out a route to include Wakehurst Parkrun and then walk back to Horley. 20 miles in all. Mostly through woodland and on bridleways, with minimum roads to navigate. This made me realise what a beautiful area we live in. We walked through the Worth Estate with it's stunning Abbey , found Balcome Lake and enjoyed a well deserved coffee and cake at Oliver's in Copthorne. Blessed with sun but not the humidity of late and with 20 miles  in the bank, I'm feeling confident. A prefect training walk 😁💜

Hot hot hot 🥵

Thursday 13th Aug
Back on the training plan today and walked to work and back. Only 9 miles and not much elevation, but I'll take it as heat training. 35 degrees! Hopefully it won't be so hot on the day ...

Worth Way Walk

Tuesday 28th Jul
I wanted to walk along the Worth Way to Crawley Down to try out a new cafe. Misjudged the mileage and ended up walking 16 miles. Gained a few blisters and had a little bus ride to break up the boring road bit (would have been a few more miles otherwise!) and discovered I need new walking boots. That's what the training is for, to iron out the problems 🤪 Enjoyed Katie's company emensely and also just a small piece of cake🍰

First Training Walk

Sunday 28th Jun
Managed a 9 mile walk this afternoon. It was a lot cooler than last week, but still quite warm 🥵 I will ensure that I plan my longer weekly walk earlier in the morning in future. It was lovely though walking along the footpaths and bridleways, watching the birds and squirrels going about their business. Dragonflies too along the stream, but no sign of the otters. 

Lynette 💜

Tuesday 23rd Jun
Last Friday we said goodbye, far too soon, to the smiliest, loveliest person and best hugger that I know, who I am proud to call family and a friend. Lynette was determined to beat this horrible disease and stayed positive throughout, so I need to do something positive to honour her. This is why I'm walking a Marathon with Ali and Megan on 14th September, to raise funds for The Royal Marsden Hospital. I know times are tricky, but if you can just spare a £1, I would be so grateful. It all adds up. Thank you 💜
