Sat 16th - 6 Hour Walk
Ended up walking closer to 7 hours, and very different weather to last weekend's long walk. This time was very sunny, and needed to drink lots of water. Walked up and down the South Downs, doing lots of hills and off road walking. Was happy with this walk, knowing this is over a third of the distance I be doing on the challenge. Though realised I need to get better socks for my feet
Covered 23.39 miles in 6 hours 55 mins, with a pace around 17.41. I walked so long the battery on my GPS walked died after 6 and half hours. So final part of walk had to calculate distance using Map My Walk. Will need to bear this in mind with my longer walks.

Sun 17th - Rest
Well needed rest day
Summary
Didn't do as much gym work as I would have liked, as life got in the way - Brighton Bricks, dog sitting and cinema nights. But I am happy with what I did, and how I am progressing. I like the idea of doing the 2 min gym workouts, seeing how many reps I can do. I love discovering new places on my walk, as well as knowing the direction I need to go in, but not exactly how to get there. So much fun working it out. Also people are so cheerful when walking along the hills, everyone says "morning"
