My first Donations

Hurray! First donation on justgiving and my email was circulated at work and within an hour or so had 9 responses pledging me money! At last, success, of a sort.

I am still in pain though, heels are healing but still can't walk properly. Never mind.

From the ecstasy to the agony

Well last night was special. We all sat down to watch ourselves on 'Tonight's the Night' with John Barrowman on BBC1. I have to say I was so relieved, the filming had gone by in a blur once I'd been surprised. So much so that I could not remember very much of it even the next day. So, a fortnight later I was scared stiff that I was going to look like a right plank. Watching it last night was like watching a new show. I still do not remember much of it actually happening but at least now I know what happened!

Having had a late night I was up at 7.30 this morning for a training walk along the Stratford canal to Lapworth, another 17 miles. Unfortunately, wearing my proper walking boots, because I knew the condition of the canal towpath, I really suffered. For some unknown reason my boots decided to really rub my heels and the walk was most uncomfortable. When I got back my heels were in a terrible state and my toes had also suffered. I think I'm going to feel very uncomfortable tomorrow. Apart from the pain the walk back had been quite good; the sun was shining, swallows were skimming over the surface of the water and I was listening to Jenkins, Karl on my iPod. You all thought I was going to say Katherine after the Tv show...she came later!! I couldn't do the walk and not listen to her could I?

Justgiving

I have created my justgiving account for the walks...please visit, but more importantly, part with some cash.

Good News

I've just had an e-mail to say that I have drawn a permit for the Nijmegen Marches and so will be able to take part. Well back to the training and also a start to the fund raising!

Registration

Well, having registered I've been watching the rest of the process. When registration closed on Maundy Thursday over 3,000 too many people had registered. This means that tomorrow there will be a draw to discard excess numbers...there is a 1-in-6 chance that I will not be selected. Hence I've cut back on the training. Sunday may see me walking once again, or I may have some free weekends ahead of me!
