Fitness Update

after about 5 days with no excercise I managed to do approximatley 44 kms either with my 20 kg pack or pulling a tyre. Using my mountaineering boots for the first time for a while gave me blisters. That was the first walk of the weekend and for the remaining two walks I hobbled in my runners. One of these walks was a delightful spin around the Macedon Ranges Walking Track. The slope at each end of this track is 'very good for training' being steep and long.

A couple of days of no activity followed that little burst of activity - not because rest was in order but because of work commitments taking up my time. I did manage 2 gym sessions and 2 more walks (20 kms in total, tyre or pack) by the end of the following weekend.

I have to keep up the momentum for 2 more weeks. That's two more 'tyre drags' and several pack walks. I am getting stronger!
