Week One - 26.77 miles

​First week completed of my 870 mile Wales Coastal Path Virtual Challenge and 26.77 miles in the bag.
My goal in my head was to try and do a marathon distance a week, which may or may not always be possible but it gives me a managable chunck to work on as 870 miles seema huge target (and it is)!
Didn't start welltoday, the top of my foot is hurting, I think it needs a bit more streching, plus I went off a bit fast, so by the 2k mark i needed to stop and loosen my trainers slightly and give my foot a strech. 
​
Returning to my plodding pace we managed the next 5k without much problem and then completed a further 1k up hill, just so i can say the first hill climb wasn't a fluke. 
Finishes off with a walk to cool down and stretch out.
Pleased with progress this week - currently near the Transporter Bridge in Newport and position 72.
