Saturday 2nd May 20 Mile Training Walk - Disaster!

Got up at 6am this morning to get ready for the big 20 mile walk with my training partner Jackie. Got to her flat in Shoreham at 7.45am then we set off at 8am to do the walk!We walked all the way from Shoreham to Brighton Marina (8 miles) then back again another 8 miles!Disaster for me though, the balls of my feet were stinging and have ended up with huge blisters on them, blisters on my heels and toes and am in agony now. Gutted I was only 4 miles off the 20! Had a good cry and feel like I let myself down but I could not have carried on. Am having my feet done at Shuropody on Wednesday so hoping they can come up with some solutions for me. Spent a fortune on various shoes and socks but nothing working. Am really down now.

Well done on getting as far as you did. I'm having real trouble with my feet and am starting to dread the night a bit. I did my 20 miler yesterday and am suffering for it today.

Good luck xx
