Over the last 6 months I haven't been walking much more than 1 km at a time, bar the few walks in the last couple of weeks with Aoife in the pram. However, it is time to return to fitness given that the Nijmegen 4daagse (four day walks) are approaching fast now and I need to get some (...) training done in order tone able to complete the 200 km in 4 days. So I consider today as my official start - a nice walk on my own on the Sheepshead peninsula, sun on my face and overlooking the Ireland I fell in love with years ago. Even though it was just over 7.5 km, it felt great to be out on my own again, no baby attached to me, no toddler dragging me in all different directions... And no Jos - he was facilitating my training time by minding the two girls.
I can't wait to be fit again, not just for Nijmegen, but also for 'normal' life that will start soon enough because this maternity leave is nice and long, but not eternal and work will become part of normal life again.
Jos and the girls picked me up and we continued on the road and were treated to some spectacular views... I cannot get enough of these skies... Let alone the sight of a snowshower closing in from Bantry Bay... Magnificent!
