Back on the TRAIN GANG

Okay,so I laid off the walking training for a monthand a half.
It wasn't my fault.
Someone put rain andChristmas right in the middle of my training plan.
Don't worry though.
I am BACK,and don't my legs know it.

     To start with I had a large cooked brekkie,which I cobbled together with my own fair hands,to prepare my body for the riggors of the day.
And what a day.
      Okay it was minus 1 out there, but beautiful sunshine,making it a great day to get back to training.
I still didn't bother with the backpack,that comes later,but I did use my new trekking poles.
So all wrapped up in my Mountain Lite tech t shirt, Craghopper micro fleece,Rab Micro fleece,Sprayway light weight water and windproof jacket and the old faithful woolly hat,time check 11:53, off I popped.
      Okay it's only an eight mile(12km) circuit,but it's enough to get the blood pumping and the muscles asking "are we there yet",and for the most part it is around relativley flat farmland(There are no mountains in Suffolk.I think the Vikings plundered them a while back).
     I had to make sure I was back by half two, because Dad'sTaxi was required.
Again,not many folk about,apart from the odd dog walker,and a middle aged couple out in wellies

     Anyway,there are still five months to go before the Great Adventure begins,but you can't fault my timing.I got backat half two exactly,just as my taxi fare was turning up,so no real warm down permitted,but it was warm in the car after five minuits,and that was without the heater on.

    After returning,it was up to the bath,and a nice long soak in bubbles up to my earholes.This won't be possible on the C2C unless someone going in May builds a bath house every ten miles or so.We don't want to  be going Native now do we.
