A week today!!

Just did a short 8.5-miler, primarily so no injuries picked up but mainly because I can't count and thought it was going to be 10 miles!

The wee dog tried to cripple me by tripping me up with a stick and then battering my ankle later on... but she didn't succeed.

Bring it on next sunday!!

2 weeks the day!

A wee 17 miler to get in some good practise.... and then went out walking / jogging / running with the dog for another mile or so!!

Route plus photies here >> http://runkeeper.com/user/ailsaconnell/activity/84617995

3 weeks to go!!

And only 5.5miles completed but at least it's on forest track so it should be good practise for the forest sections of the Speyside.

Going for the 17-miler next weekend :)

SKW -56 days!

Have given my ankle plenty time to recover, and recover it seems to have done.

Just a small 6 mile walk before breakfast this morn but was long enough to convince me that my ankle will be fine and my toenails might actually survive this one!!

Cracking!!

SKW - 90 days!!

Jings!! Only 90 days until the big day!!

Only a wee 8 miler this time... but it could become the regular 'short route' in between longer routes. And the bonus being it passes no less than three watering holes..... provided I time it right for opening times!

Hope this will be more representative of the SKW itself as had a mixture of road, track, mud and shore to contend with.

Ninety days. Doesn't seem long!!!

SKW - 97 days!

Tackled a 12.5 mile walk today - no interesting scenery and not the best walk in the world, but helped rack up the miles. Completed it in a reasonable pace - just over 15 mins a mile - but don't see me being able to do this for the Speyside proper.

Time to look out the map and find walks which will be more representative of the walk itself.... and sort out what footwear will work best. My wee toenail is taking a pounding and now my boots are hurting my ankle! Things were not like this in ALL the miles I've walked up til now!!!

SKW -104

Wee legs are hurting today... walked too fast yesterday but determined to maintain a rate of under 15 mins a mile. That'll teach me!!

Plenty time still to practise - just got to work on losing some of the competitive edge!!

Getting the walking shoes out today. Probably just a few miles to check out The Mash Tun - to see that it's still there. Oh. and it's a few miles back - uphill.

10 miles yesterday by Andy, 4 by Ailsa...............about time I got out and about and off the treadmill. I'm sure the scenery on The Speyside Way is a bit better.

New year, new Kiltwalk!

Nothing better in the new year than to start training (again!) for the new Speyside Kiltwalk. Only 126 days to go!!
