The training begins!

So did my first "proper" training walk at the weekend - 7 miles with hubby to Richmond Park. Not top speed, but brisk enough. Came home to find my email confirmation - so glad it was worthwhile (Was  beautiful day in South West London so would have been worthwhile anyway!) I walk 4-5 miles a day just doing my commute so I've got a good starting point - though I was feeling it in my hips on Monday! Wasn't wearing my 1000 mile socks and ended up with a small blister - so they are the first thing on my shopping list. 

I've joined the facebook group and getting lots of tips from everyone else, besides those that I picked up last time - looking for a training partner too as I doubt Scott will come with me every weekend!
