We had planned the first of practices last weekend and were all fired up to do a walk in Leicester shire around three hills - Small ones though to start! However the weather has got to us and with 4 inches of snow over the weekend it would have done more harm that good. We still have a few more dates planned in.
The feet are getting a bit better now and i am not in too much pain. Great tip from Sarah though to role the bottoms of your feet on a litre coke bottle full of frozen water. Cold - but really helps.
I am out now twice a week walking and a bit of running - just a little bit, building up the fitness. I feel quite confident around the stamina so just need to get fitter and feet feeling better.
We have sent out a few e-mails this week for sponsorship so thank you to all those that have gone on the site and donated. Thank you.

Point of no return
It's been a couple of weeks of rest and after a short walk this weekend the left foot is just about there but the right needs a little more rest. On the mend then, great! Dom's pushing on in the Gym so i'll have some catching up to do.
We have moved at pace with the organisation now. From the logistics perspective we have worked through the timings and agreed that we will be doing the walk on Friday 16th April. We would have liked to do it over the weekend but there are a number of organised events that we would like to avoid - it would be nice to appreciate the views rather than walking in a line of people, it's not Canary wharf!
We plan an early start and drive in the small hours ready to start walking at 7am,it will get dark at 7pm so we should be finished by then, hopefully! Overnight accommodation is booked in the village so we can collapse - after a few beers and some food if we are feeling good.
We have both agreed our charities now. I am supporting the Wildlife Trust and Dom the Leicester Children's Hospital. We also have agreement for Barclays Bank to match our sponsorship so any money you support us with will be doubled by Barclays. A great incentive, thanks!
We've reached the point of no return now then, it's got to be done!
