Today I had another good training, I walked the same course as I cycled with Michael and Irene one and a half year ago although for some reason it wasn't exactly the same because it was a bit shorter in distance, 32 miles. But I do remember that we had to search for a restaurant because a lot of them were closed in October, which can explain something.
Weather was fine today, lots of sun but windy and therefore not ideal for persons with hay fever, so I hope for lots of seawind during the Parish Walk !
It's getting better at the moment because of the previous walking trainings and had no blisters or muscular problems. The only 'pain in the ass' is walking with a bag which gives some problems on my back and again it was very busy on the road.
That's why I looking forward to next Friday for the 50 miles walk, which starts at 10 :00 PM in the famous media village in Hilversum. In Holland it's very common that a walk starts just before midnight. I don't like that very much because normally it is a time to go asleep, but when you've started you will forget hopefully. And another thing, it's not a race so a lot of people walk in groups and have some nice conversations, about......... WALKING !
After this walk it is only about one month for the Parish Walk and will reduce the "long" distance and will replace them by some speed training, or to shorter ones !
Cheers,
Martijn
