Woohoo! My legs took me 25.6miles, just shy of a marathon.
Started at 7.50 am - crossed the finish line at 2.20pm - A respectable 6.5hrs (pit stops included) on my feet!
Kept good form.with my WalkActive pace the whole way, and guess what, some commented on what a stride I had! Come try it said!!
I ended up with the most swollen hands, and even my tricks couldn't put the lymph at bay! Just about see my knuckles now!
One thing i wasn't prepared for was pain felt in my left foot as I depressed the clutch to start the car (and then gears) - holy bananas that's a shock...I knew they were feeling it 20 miles in, getting tender in my ...
All that aside. I did this for all those who can't walk very far because the drugs affect their joints - i now have a deeper appreciation of how that must feel.
And because does a fantastic job, not just on the front line but also with their information database, helping the individual, the employer, the families etc...
Just AMAZING.
It was worth every ounce of ache!!
Huge thanks to those who did sponsor me - £1200+ 🤩🙏🏽✅️🔥
Here's to all the prep work and now for a long soak in the bath with a coffee & truffle!! 😋🛁
NB: annoyingly had a meltdown so looks like i got a helicopter ride and skipped a few miles!
