My first 20 miler..

Oh dear - as I type, my ankles are burning!  We walked for 22 miles yesterday (Putney Bridge to sunny Weybridge) just to see what it would feel like.  Perfect weather and a lovely walk following the river.  Unfortunately, I hit mile 16 and my ankles started to swell up and blister like a heat rash- without going into gruesome detail, they look pretty nasty this morning!  if anyone has any good advice to offer me, please let me know.  Rather a worry seeing that there are only a few weeks to go before i head off.  The enormity of what i am taking on has now hit me- 20 miles is a long way and walking it day after day is going to be tough.  Apart from that my legs feel fine and the thought of raising money for such a good cause is spurring me on. I heard this quote last night and it made me feel much better.. 'The greatest danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short but in setting our aim too low and reaching it' (Michelangelo).
