London Moonwalk Completed
1 mile to go and still smiling! Well I’ve done it! Completed my first London Playtex Moonwalk. It took over 8hours, so needless to say my knees are very stiff and have got some juicy blisters to nurse. It’s the first Moonwalk I’ve done and I have to say I’m up for another – it’s a truly fantastic, fun, moving and uplifting experience. I travelled up to London...

Trial walk completed ;-)
Managed to complete a trial walk, as per the Moonwalk training plan. I teamed up with another walker and we walked around Tunbridge Wells, thanks to Sarah for her planning the route! We missed the 20 mile target by 3, but feel it’s enough to build on before the big one!

Bra complete and paraded at work.
So what do you think????? I braved wearing the now completed Moonwalk bra to the office. Needless to say it put a smile on everyone’s face an worked a treat at kick starting sponsorship. Wearing it for a few hours around the office makes me think it might prove uncomfortable after some 7 hours of walking, but it’s for a good cause! I’m rather pleased with the decoration, though...

My Moonwalk Bra is taking shape!
Taking shape Whilst shopping on Saturday, my wife, son and I visited local sewing/ fabric shops and bought anything pink that you could stick to my Moonwalk bra. This evening, my wife turned a dining room chair into a dressmaker’s mannequin and started to pin the fluffy pink boa and sequins to the bra. That’s not all, I’ve got some LEDs too, to light up my night walk. The Moonwalk...

Train to learn more of where you live.
Finally got round to breaking the 10 mile barrier in training for the Playtex Moonwalk in my home town of Tunbridge Wells (UK) and covered 12 miles and that’s after a day’s shopping, which I didn’t track, so guess about 14 miles in total. The thing is, I thought I’d make a point of turning left or right into roads or footpaths I haven’t taken before and it’s amazing...

Moonwalk – Got the Hat and T-Shirt!
It’s getting closer!!! My parcel arrived with the Bra, the Hat and T-shirt. Note I’ve not modelled the bra yet, as I’m waiting until I’ve decorated it. Despite wanting to use this event as an opportunity to train, train, train, I’ve adopted the same attitude I applied to a previous event of 40 miles. How hard can it be? It’s only walking… Mmmmm...
