A few weeks on from buying my boots for the trek I have finally introduced them to the outside world! After a lovely anniversary weekend I decided it was really time to step up the training for the trek so I made a plan which I need to stick to this time.
It has started fairly well in that I got up at 6.30 as I had aimed to do so that was the first hurdle cleared. It's actually not that hard to get up that early and if it means that I definitely have time to walk to work then it's worth it so the aim is to do this every working day until the trek. Now that the 10k is out of the way and my blisters have finally gone I decided that I really needed to break my boots in so I pulled them on for their first venture outdoors and I walked to work. They felt so weird! I'm not used to wearing boots or anything round my ankles so I did feel a bit trapped at first rather than supported but I gradually got used to them. Unfortunately this is has been one of the hottest days of the year so by the time I got to work I was super hot and my feet were roasting so I quickly changed into my trusty trainers for the day before pulling on my boots again for the walk home.
Happily 4.5 miles in my boots still look in perfect condition and my feet are also holding up :)
