A walk of two halves

So to make up for my rubbish 5 mile walking attempt yesterday, I decided to join my friend Caroline (who is also taking part in the moonwalk this year) for a walk.

Having company on the walk was AMAZING - it is so much easier to walk and talk, as it distracts you from the distance and the walking itself.

We were a bit slower on this walk today - but I blame the heat (can't believe i'm in Edinburgh and blaming heat!), was about 18degrees today!

So with Caroline, we did 12.8miles in 3hours 30mins - so approx 16.4min per mile!


Instead of being sensible and walking straight home after this I decided I was enjoying walking so much that I would do a little more on my own.

So on top of the 12.8 miles I did with Caroline I did a further 5.2 miles, in 1 hour 20 mins (15.3 min per mile).


Now after all of this my legs are sore and I will definitely sleep tonight, but I am very happy to have completed this distance again.

Total Distance = 18miles
Total Time = 4 hours 50 mins
Approx Mile per Min = 16.11 mins



NEXT CHALLENGE - to manage 18 miles more comfortably!
