Moonwalk

I have my father staying with me and have slacked big time. I feel the need to get my legs moving so need to start putting in some serious effort .

BTM... I think the last category was more than 8 hours - that's what I chose. My ambitious partner chose something stupid less than that. I hope that we will be starting together. I have in my mind that they do have to pack everything away so hope that we will finish before then .

Thanks for the facebook group wiffey.

Hope you are doing ok and your health is improving Marg. Take care x x

Thanks Tillymint, its all main roads at the hospital but Im home for the weekend so see what I can get done, thanks again

Oh poor you, Marg

You can't go out for a walk around the hospital groupnds or near area at all, can you?

Hi everyone, you all seem to be doing do well. Unfortunately I've been in hospital with depression for last 2 weeks, they have an exercise machine I use but stuck for anything else. I emailed moonwalk for some advice but not heard anything yet, I'm just home for a few hours then back in, you all keep up the good work, take care everyone xx

If any of you are Facebook users they have quite a good group on there as well with some handy hints & tips for first timers - Playtex moonwalk London 2009.

I'm sure there will be loads of people slower than that - when we applied weren't there loads of categories for your estimated time taken - I'm sure they went longer than even 10 hours. I hope they did - I don't want to be last

Hi arfur, you'll be fine I'm sure. I felt like that after I first did 10, I thought I was going to die quite literally
Did you take a snack and drink with you as that makes a huge difference.
As for the time I think 7-8 hours is the expected for the majority it's what our group are expecting to so it in so we'll be bringin up the rear with you !!!

Hi, my friend and I did 13 miles on sunday and it was not pleasant - we are both feeling demotivated and cant imagine doing double that! It took us four hours too which is too slow - if we finish in 8 hours will we still get a medal or will everyone have gone home by then?

Hi funny, nice to see someone back again. it's been a quite week here as well so need to get a big one on before off for a week of the easter hols (camping, how daft is that)

Starting to get ideas for decorating now etc, doesn't seem very far away at all

hello - how's everyone doing? Well done on your 17 miler, wifey.

Having a quiet couple of weeks training wise as dh is away this week, and then we're on hols next week - hoping to still fit in a few 4 milers, but won't do anything substaintial.

hope you all had good weekends ladies, I did 17 miles (by mistake!!!) and that is a whole different league, I was fit for nothing else Saturday but no aches on Sunday so that was good

I am also using the just giving site, as they had a link on thier web page.

I am using the justgiving site - from the link on the moonwalk site - weird that they don't approve of it (whoops...)

I hope you can use the sites letuseatcake as I picked it up from the moonwalk website, it was one of the two recommended ?? Maybe these are the only two they recognise.

I'm aiming for 15 this weekend sounds as though we are all getting there tough.

FP I am soooo impressed - over 18 miles Well Done!

I won't be needing a sport's bra, Wiffey , and I will be decorating mine with something big and fluffy And maybe a "fringe"

Well our team name had "showgirls" in it so full out Moulin Rouge feathers for me

hello all - just checking in for a victory dance after doing 18.45 miles on Sunday!
It was ..... ok - defn a 'step up' from my walks so far - I have to admit, I was quite ready to stop!
We managed it in 4 1/2 hours, so kept to an average of 4 mph, and although I did feel a bit sleepy for the rest of the day, no real aches or pains, which is a bloody miracle!
I've just sent round my justgiving page - after doing 18 miles, I somehow felt I couldn't chicken out any longer

I haven't really thought about the bra situation yet - how is everyone planning to decorate?

I'm not sure I will use the bra they send as will need to wear a good sports bra if you get my drift

We set our page up through just giving as it looked the easier of the two to use, we've had one girl drop out but upto £600 between 5 of us so quite good.

When do you reckon the bra will arrive?

And have you all set up your internet "giving" pages, or are you just using the paper copies?

Deffinatley go for the bra, looking forward to the girls night in decorating it

Most people do just wear their bra, except the really serious walkers.

On the night, you sort of get swept up in the drama of it all. It's an atmosphere like no other.

I'm planning on a short 6 miler this week and some general walking as well to get myself back into it and then have a go at getting nearer to the 10 mile mark before increasing my speed again.
