Over 10 km down the Grand Union Canal to the Packet Boat Marina, Little Britain and back. Just Bashful and I went out today. Lots of talk about maps, blogs, tax, pensions, walking, shin splits and sunburn among others. Fundraising was still on my mind having spent 30 minutes bullying people into buying raffle tickets to (perhaps not) fly with BA to Europe business class for two.
The areas we passed through ranged from canal quaint to urban blight, from used car storage to canal barge marinas, pretty bricked walls to razor wired metal pickets and duckling lakes to festering pools. The pools had car parts sticking up from the monimolimniotic ooze (some word that!).
Some 700 calories were burned walking at the fastest pace in the training so far. The trusty WalkMeter reports that we walked fast enough to cover the 100 km in less than 16 hours.
THANK YOU DARLENE!
