Well girls I did it and had a great day. I walked with my friend Dawn who lives in Devizes and she brought along another friend, Trish, who set a sterling pace from the start. My 233 miles training on the Taff Trail and Beacons set me in good stead and we crossed the finishing line completing our 20 miles in just over 7 hours which included rest stops, lunch and queuing for the loo - no wet knickers for us!
Dave met us at each of the cheering points. At 14.5 miles he reported that my fundraising total had gone up by £140 thanks to Pat - just the spurt I needed. Had my legs massaged by a nice man at the end (check out www.justgiving.com/sueyoungman for the look of pleasure on my face when I discovered the massage tent).
Felt amazingly well when I got home and was dancing around the house singing 'I have walked for 20 miles and I could walk for 20 more'. No real problems today and have just got back from lunch at my favourite restaurant in the Bay. I don't want slip into my bad ways and lose this level of fitness so am up for the next Cardiff & Brecon Group walk.
