Diary mutterings of Gwen....part two

Welcome to the plus two members of our team - I quite like the "seven plus two go mad in Blackheath" title. Am not sulking any more, 10 May 2008 my race pack arrived in the post. Really love my "walk correctly" trainers after the initial ache in my legs, they are soooo comfy. I'm in danger of wearing them out and having to buy another pair for July.

I have my "all weather" outfit: white T-shirt, garish pink cropped trousers, blue trainers, sedate beige (with pink ribbon) sun hat, keep cool navy scarf and last but not least a sky blue poncho mac that folds up to the size of a credit card holder. Have I forgotten anything Seven (plus two) team? Apart from my colour co-ordination that is!

Went for a trial walk round Dulwich Park, nice rhododenrons out at the moment, had my camera. Now, did I allow for the stopping and taking of photographs in my time slot? Getting better on my time, hope to improve on the original timing. How is everyone else in our team training? Only nine weeks to go!

Going to walk round park once a week for the next four weeks then step up to twice a week for 3 weeks and the last two weeks ease off, to just normal walking - that's without walking to the shops and labrador training of course. That I shall keep going. I cannot stand to see a labrador sulk - beats me at sulking that's for sure, I can't get the "look" right.
