Streets of London

Last week's blisters have still not properly healed so we had a weekend off training this week. However, we still did end up walking quite a few miles around London as we went up there for a visit to the Natural History Museum and the musical Ghost in the evening.

Today we went to Cotswold Outdoors in Hedge End so that I could get some advice on shoes/boots for my narrow feet. After about half an hour of conversation and trying on I bought a pair of Salomon Sector Mid GTX boots which are much narrower at the heel than my Merrells, so they should hold my heels more firmly and prevent the blisters which I keep getting on the inside edges of both heels.

The last thing to mention today is the weather. We have been spoiled the last couple of months with very dry weather so the tracks and paths have been easy to walk on. Today it has not stopped raining all day and everywhere is drenched. The mud will definitely be back!
