Spring has sprung

What beautiful weather our lovely island is having right now! I'm pleased to report that I have taken full advantage of it and have been out walking in training for NYC.

Last Monday I did a little 5 mile route from my house, along the canal and back again. Then on Wednesday my mum and I completed 10.6 miles in 2 hours 59 minutes.

Saturday brought glorious weather and my sister joined us for a route that was supposed to be 8 miles, but ended up at 10.8.

I took some photos en route...

Nothing signals the arrival of spring better than Lambs in the fields

So a good time had by all on Saturday. 

Today I upped the mileage again and completed 13.8 miles. I'm very pleased as we've got until November to train for the event and it's the end of March and I'm already able to do over half way. Obviously this was with a cafe stop (mmm cake!) and some bench sitting and taking photos and enjoying my surroundings. The actual day will be much harder as it will be 26 miles straight off and continuous walking. 

Pics from today...

Mmmm cake

Another walk perhaps towards the end of the week, then it will just be weekend walks from the on as I start my new job on Monday!

Remember the terrible interview? Not so terrible after all apparently! Am extremely nervous about it but that's normal I'm led to believe. I just have to have some more faith in my ability and do my best. 

The Letting Agency finally have all they need from us reference wise in regards to our new abode, so now we're just waiting for a move in date, but we think we'll be moving in towards the end of April.

A big month ahead then! New job, new flat. 

We may be getting somewhere!
