Blistered and Tired!

Decided to try the distance training!. Drove to work at Gatley, Stockport. Parked the car and set off home - walking! First part of the walk was very good, got onto the cycle route, which followed the River Mersey through to Stretford. Then hit the hard pavements, not headfirst literally, but pounded them till I reached Worsley! Was trying out some new socks too, which I didnt like, which caused a lovely blister on my heel. Never mind. lesson learnt!
Walked just under 22 miles, and did it in a very good time, probably cos it was freezing weather and was too cold to sit and munch my sandwiches!
The hardest part at this time of year is loo cover. No leaves on the bushes or trees to hide behind!!!
Anyway mission accomplished. Journey done. Got my friend Pat to take me back to Gatley to collect my car!
That was yesterday, today had workout at the gym to see how my programme was going. Not sure I like my trainer anymore! lol. I know its for the best, but my poor muscles!.
Never mind. It does get easier, and I'm sure he has heard the swear words before!

Interview

Just had an interview on Real Radio about my walk. Hope it may do some good, if only to raise awareness of Autistic children. Shame if you missed is. I enjoyed it. Off out now on a 12 mile training walk. Enjoy your day.
