Moonwalk

well done BTM and Wiffey. I am jealous of you bein able to do long walks this weekend! oh well there is always next week when dog has gone home.

Well done BTM, my 12.5 was good, lots of hills & 3hr20 and I didn't feel like I was going to die towards the end,in fact could have done more

For the first time since I've started the training I actually felt that I might be able to do it !!!

Legs are a bit stiff now but I did all my housework when I got back

Hope everyones training is going well

We did a 14 miler today, a bit faster than last week and my legs aren't stiff this time

FP, how did your 18 miler go?

I'm planning a 12 this weekend if energy levels are up to it

Is it starting to seem really close now or am I panicking unduly ???

BTM, i think that 7 miles in ahour is overly ambitious! so i mean't doing it in one hours time LOL. didn't manage the full 7 as had DH with me (fit he is not!) who felt unwell so had to come back after about 4 but hey theres always tommorrow

LOL haribo, deff not that I can assure you. Spoke to GP today & will try to sort one out next week.

Congrats Haribo! I thought I read somewhere that taking a multivitaminn is ok to take, Ill try and find where it was ( brain like s seive)Im, supposed to be out doing a 3 mile,but just feel so tired, need to gee myself up

OOps

just realised that it was Haribo who posted that she was going to be 6 months pregnant, so only one pregnancy announcement.

Wipes brow in relief

We are doing 14 miles again on the weekend. Hope you mean that you're going out in an hour, not doing 7 miles in one hour

i cant do 18 miles this weekend as i have a 3 legged dog boarding with us and he can't go that far! but am about to take them out on a 7 miler in an hour, and maybe 5 tommorrow and then might push dogs up to 10 mile son saturday. my dog misses his longer walks!

Welcome & congratulations haribo!

wifey - I did find that I got very tired when I first really started moonwalk training. I tried Berocca, which a mate had raved about & it did seem to help...not something to use for too long but good for a boost, ime.

So, we've got an 18 miler planned for this weekend - what's everyone else up to?

Oooh congratulations Haribo! Was it a surprise or planned?

I'm now getting worried that this thread is turning into a "do the Moonwalk and you'll fall pregnant!" thread, after two announcements!

I think it's a bit of all btm !! The legs ache a bit which is to be expected & I stand at work on 5 hr shifts. There is also the small factor of running around after a potty training toddler and a nearly 12 year old who can only do 1/2 of any job asked I'm sleeping really well for a change it's just that I'm pooped by the end of the day. I may run it past the GP.

I'm really quite enjoying the training and do feel alot better in myself, also managed to kick start my weight loss after having got in a bit of a rut with it.

No vitamins or anything - you shouldn't need them if you eat a healthy balanced diet. Are you eating enough?

What kind of tiredness is it? Is it the my limbs are exhausted type, or I'm mentally shot?

Are you getting enough sleep?

The walking makes me feel better - more alert, etc - if you are inexplicably very tired, maybe you should go to see the GP?

not taking any extra vitamins, but i am eating meals everyday, which is pretty much unheard of for me. .

Not that is actually helpful to you! but you do have to make sure you have enough fuel to burn or you probably will become ill very quickly! trust me i know!

Are any of you taking extra vitamins or supplements etc ?

I've been feeling really tired alot of the time, which I don't think is just the training as work is a bit manic as well but a friend said it might be worth while trying a vitamin or similar ??

Well done on your distances everyone, I'm going to try for my 12 again this weekend, going to have a go at 6 interval tomorrow with a friend, tried it on 3 last night and was not any quicker but more knackered

And haribo fair play to you if you can do it, walking to the village high street was a struggle when 6 months but I was HUGE, I like my babies 9lb+

I think that helps haribosmummy, i don't have a lab but do have a curly coated retriever who enjoys his walks, he def gives me motivotion on the rainy days! we have managed about 5 miles today so happy with that!

Congratulations aswell, and i take my haat of to you contemplating doing it at 6 months gone, as i know i would have pulled out, because like you if i start it i have to finish and i was 5 stones heavier when i was 6 months pregnant and couldn't find any shoes to fit so was also bare foot from about the same time

Just read your first post - your two will be very close in age? You're doing really well getting out to train with a LO

That's a shame about not letting you change - I would have thought that was a pretty special circumstance.

But good on you for wanting to give the whole thing a go - it sounds like you might not get too big. It's a good incentive not to eat for two, anyway

Congratulations!

Is it your first or do you have some idea of how big you will be by then? I was pretty big at 6 months and I don't think I could have walked 26 miles in the night, but you may be much smaller and fitter than me

Maybe you could attempt the half moon in London if not - surely they would let you ttry that given your condition!
