Arriving home last night looking like I had just spent 20 hours in a wind tunnel, walking like I was 200 years old did not bode well for the continuation of our Trailtrekker challenge.... The blisters that I had been aware of while walking covered most of the back of my right heel, and the left side of my right foot, the top of my sock on my right ankle had rubbed away the top couple of layers of skin leaving a bright red strip round my leg. My right Knee was swollen (do not know why the universe was picking on my right leg only?!) and it was painful to get off the sofa! even phoning Dominos for a pizza was an effort!
I was aware of the pain even while asleep, and in the morning .......................................
well nothing! the blisters were (and still are) sore, but my knee had gone down and mostly my muscles had recovered, by Tuesday it was all just a good story to tell, by Thursday we were planning how to make sure we were in the top 100 fundraisers by Friday to ensure our 7am start, and planning Sundays 50k stint on the trailtrekker route. A friend explained that no matter how fit you get it is still hard, but you just get over it faster,
I think I can do this...... even if it IS like that...........
