New Outfit for Moonwalk 2010 – Complete

Simon 1 Comment

Training is still a bit sparadic, but I did manage to complete a half moon’s worth of practise walk yesterday 13.5miles.  Avg speed was 4.1mph, so should shave some time of last year.

Tonight we finished the new outfit.  Loads more lights and rather fetching!  What do you think?

Don’t forget you can sponsor me on-line here – it’s very easy and you’ll be helping a very worthy cause.

Moonwalk 2010 Training – Finally Started in earnest.

Well despite only three weeks till the night, I’ve finally walked further than the usual 3 or 6 miles!  It seems this year, either the weather has been so bad or uninspiring, or I’ve been ill or too busy to follow the training plan provided by WalkTheWalk.

The final parcel arrived at then end of this week, including bra, cap and t-shirt and, coupled with the glorious sunshine, it spurred me on to nail at least 10 miles+.  I managed 13.7 today, before getting back home in time for BBQ number 5!  Yes you read correctly, BBQ number 5!

Whilst walking, my wife finished of the new addition to my Moonwalk outfit – a fluorescent pink tutu, with flashing LEDs!!

So I’m feeling more confident now, as the actual walk is only twice what I did today – “how hard can it be!”.

Getting set for London Playtex Moonwalk 2010

My Fund Raising PAgeThe London Playtex Moonwalk 2010 is not far off now, on the 15th May!!

Well it’s a bit late to start training, but I’m now spurred on by the final arrival of the Sun here in the SE of England, the setting up of my on-line sponsor page here http://www.walkthewalkfundraising.org/simon_reeve, and the arrival of more bright pink LEDs for this year’s outfit.

I’ll be using the trusty bra of last year, with a new bright fluorescent skirt to help me stand out! 

My fundraising page is very new, so why not be the first to sponsor me for what is a very good cause.
