Training Log: Thraws

Walk (5 miles @ 17.21 pace). C/W. Puddle-free!

Walk (4.1 miles @ 17.38 pace). A/C. Giddy at times.

Really fancied an Easter challenge (motivation) - despite not being fit for a good deal - so decided to join the LDWA Sussex group for their weekly social walk. And see what happened. Route was OK but mostly familiar: low-tide Littlehampton west beach, river Arun to Arundel, Tortington and Binstead Woods, Edgecumbe Coffee for lunch, Yapton, canal, Flansham, Elmer and back to Clymping VH. I thought the speed might be manageable, as this wasn't a challenge event, but I was the slowest by some way and brought up the tail most of the time, especially later on. Biggest handicap I had was sore toes (wore boots because of mud) which affected my gait. Nice to be spared the route-finding for a change though. And weather was simply lovely. Spring at last!
