Well it's absoulutely bucketing down outside now - earlier when I went out for my walk it was wet, and windy but not pouring. I did 6 and a half miles in 1 hour 39 mins so not too far off 15 minute mile pace which is what I'm aiming for. The walk was good - about half on tarmac footpaths and the rest on grass heath (which was a little muddy but not too much) Not sure if I would do that route again by myself as the heath was quite isolated...well more than quite - I didn't see a single other person in the 2 mile loop I did round it! Did see some rabbits and pheasants though!
Anyway gave my gear a good test - new trainers were very comfortable and no blisters from my 1000 mile socks! Also wore 3/4 length leggings under my trackie bottoms too keep me warm and also to prevent any chaffing - they lived up to the job well!
So that was my route above - I came home very cold and wet, but a shower, a cup of tea and some home made minestrone later I'm feeling good!
