I love wobbling! This is at a nearby playground 😀
W-day is nearly here. That's the BLW, of course, which takes place on Sunday. I have been training but can't deny that I'm shaking in my well-fitting joggers at the thought of how steep the first parts of it are. There's no way around that AND route changes mean there are more hills than there were the last time I did it. Dang. I'm slow on hills, but it's perhaps possible their inclusion was an attempt to make the course more interesting. I'm going with that as the explanation because they surely wouldn't be nasty enough to add hills simply to make us suffer! Surely?
The weather forecast suggests it will be a pleasant day for walking: cool in the morning with a warm afternoon that will never be scorching hot. I won't need my cooling collar. I still can't find socks that work, so I'll be taking spares and changing them if necessary. And the trekking poles? I'll take them, but only because the doctor said I should. I don't find them particularly helpful. In fact, the tips get caught in cracks between paving stones or bits of broken concrete, or sink into unexpected vegetation (take your pick). I know I walk faster without them (I've tested that on a familiar route that I frequently use). But safety first. Right?
YoungB's opening night is on Saturday, which means we won't be there. And he probably won't be there to cheer me on Sunday morning, though Dr B will do his bit. I offered to catch public transport home at the end of the day, because it's perfectly possible at that hour and from the finish location. We'll see how that goes (yeah; probably not. Right?). Yesterday I walked locally, along a route that included some nearby parks with good fitness equipment. Just the shot for cross-training. It means I'm out in the fresh air and using other muscle groups, so it's all beneficial.
I hope you're finding the opportunity to do some wobbling, too 🙂
