Sorry!

Sorry it's been so long but things have been hectic!

Last week we went to Enniskillen with our bezzie mates Big Gav, Nik, Megan, Katie and Fay - we all had a fab time! This was in spite of the weather being pretty wet but we didn't expect much else. Nik's also doing the Moonwalk so we trained together. Before we got there, Nik had toured the tourist information centres for some information on walks in the area - turned out they were all very unhelpful....until she found a friendly chap working in Castle Archdale which was only a few hundred yards from where we were staying! Nik told the guy we needed to do 14 miles so he took her out alone in his landrover to show her some routes through the forest.....brave girl! Anyway, she lived to tell the tale, and Easter Saturday we completed our task for the week! Mags was at our new holiday house in Portstewart and walked to Portrush and back and a bit more to get her 14 miler done.

Yesterday the traget was 16 miles! Mags and I set out at 7.30am to make sure we were back in time for Andy to get to hockey! 4 hours and 16 minutes later we returned - we were delighted with this time as we were clocking 16 minute miles and also that we managed to complete it without much difficulty. Legs and feet were tired and sore but we were still going strong. I was absolutely knackered later on and was barely able to keep my eyes open, also struggling a bit with hydration so if anyone out there has any bright ideas on this front, I'd really appreciate it! Adding salt to my water so see if this helps!

As you can see, the fundraising is going fantastically well - target achieved and bettered! My friend and neighbour, Hazel, has organised a little soiree for the Spa Ladies this Thursday! Hazel's returning to school this week after some fairly serious surgery so it's extra kind of her! Should be good criac and will be nice to catch up with all the girls from round these parts! Thanks, Hazel!

Better finish up now and I promise that the next update won't take as long as this one!
