Training Day 10

Target of 12 miles reached today !

Walked 50 miles in 10 days. No horrendous aches and pains. Feeling quietly confident for September. Just need to increase the walk rota and aim for a slow build to 18 a day for 5 days !!!!!! Yikes !!!!!

Caught my first tube today. ;o))))

All accommodation booked from Newcastle to Carlisle and Hadrian's Haul too for baggage drop offs

The lovely people there at www.hadrianshaul.com without even asking gave me 16% off the price of each days drop as it is for charity !!

Please remember that not a penny of your donation goes towards any of the costs of this trip. When you click on the donation button at justgiving www.justgiving.com/DorothyOwen the money plus the tax goes straight into Hope House Children's Hospices charity bank a/c.

Time for a push beyond 10 miles today. 11.37 done !  It is hard to say which part of my body aches,  I will just have to say my legs from hip to toe !!!

Some great sights to feed the spirit though...

£300 REACHED !!!!!!!!!!

WOOOHOOOOO !!  

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED

Tried walking in the rain..... don't like it !!!

No wonder the dog said "I'll take a rain check!!"

I bet you didn't know the Joshua Tree was near Penley !!!!

Another 5 miles in the bag....... that makes 25 for the week. Three months to go so feeling happy with progress so far.

God's great outdoor gym is doing me proud so far
