It's freezing out on the road this morning!
The icy cold wind is cutting through me, its an awkward mix of sweating as I push my body outside its comfort zone and then the frigid breeze.

I walk 6 kilometres in a roundabout direction to get to the office, after the emails and general newspaper activities it's time to hit the road again.

Putting my head down into the breeze I head for Cohuna, my goal is 16 to 18kms in total. This may be a challenge as I am trialling some new orthotics type devices to reduce my arches collapsing.

They appear to be working well, though I feel a few other muscles having to adjust, at the 16km mark I find this mailbox with "Can the plan" scrawled over it. This gives me enough drive to push on to the 17km mark.

My wife Lauren comes to collect me, on to the next job :)

Today’s training total: 17km
Mental Health: 9/10
Physical Health: pre walk 10/10 post walk 5/10
Blessing: Millions, so many things to be thankful for!
