Charlie and the Blues

My song of the moment is The Climb by Miley Cyrus. It’s keeping me focused! My immediate support networks (husband & parents) have abandoned me for 7-10 days, and I am getting a little frustrated about the amount of time I can give this project, which obviously has to be fitted around the kids and Simply Stuck  but to quote my song ” I got to be strong. Just keep pushing on” even if it is with tiny footsteps for a few weeks! Hence the slight delay with this post.

The training is going well, Charlie and I are up with the birds, enjoying some very early morning starts (circumstances explained!) Which mean that we are frequently up at 5.30am… Still we often get the best of the weather and see a lot more of the local wildlife. The blue bells really are out in full splendor. I walk past this bit of hedge row quite frequently, and was blown away by the fragrance from this mass of blue.

I have now walked over 600 miles since the end of January and my average weekly mileage is up from 40 to 45 miles; I should get this to nearer 70 miles/week by the end of June.

I have now found someone who is prepared to help me with some personal training, building up strength in my hips and shoulders. Tommy Gentleman, has recently started his own fitness business and he is going to put me through my paces. I have mixed feelings about this. I know it will provide huge benefit, but it is going to really hurt when I first start…
