My friend posted in the group chat on the Monday about 3 weeks ago saying that her and some friends were doing this walk. I got jealous.
At that point I was walking about 2 km or 3 km a month and I had been saying that I wanted to walk more but wasn't actually following through with it. My personal best in the last 20 years was probably about 4km
I decided to make a change.
I bought a walking frame into the office and started to use that around the office rather than my scooter. The day after after I got home from work I went for a long distance walk and it ended up being 3km but at that point I still was not confident enough to commit to doing 5km.
After the 3km I could barely move my legs for 3 days due to pain but it was good pain.
The following Tuesday evening I went on another walking adventure and just kept going and ended up doing 4.6km. It took me 4 hours 40min. But I knew I could hit the 5k. I signed up for the challenge and I am excited to climb this mountain!
Well done Craig, great cause and I am sure you will smash it! Eve and Stewart x
