walking.

on the weekend i went for a walk. it was long. 44km long. by sunday night i could not walk anymore. literally. my husband had to carry me from my car to the house. because at about the 35km mark my knee decided that it did not like what i was trying to make it do. and gave up. fair enough.

i have been making good friends with my physio so that she can fix me up because in a little under three weeks time i'll be doing it all again. plus another 56km. yep. crazy. if you have been reading this blog for a while you would have heard me talk about the oxfam trailwalker event that i'll be competing in with three friends. we will be walking 100km in less than 48 hours (our aim is 32) and raising some money for oxfam along the way. my physio is optimistic that my knee will hold out and i am determined. if you would like to make a donation to oxfam via our teamspace you can head over here.

feel free to send me lots of healing and happy thoughts between now and the 15th of june. eek. i'll keep you posted!

  1. you are a trooper! you always were the best at the DofE expeditions. you were not a part of those who were reduced to tears (not naming names).

    I'm going to donate to you as soon as I'm not using a public computer at work!
    p.s. im doing bridge to brisbane later this year, it's a measly 10km. Want to come?
