MOONWALK UPDATE!
First thanks so much for all your good wishes and im pleased to tell you all that i have my medal!
I completed my 26.2 miles in around 7 hours(thats minus the time queing for the toilets- what is it about women!)
I had a fab night, the atmosphere was fantastic, the weather was very pleasant for walking, it never got properly dark the whole night and i just happened to be walking along the seafront as the sun came up, spectacular. Edinburgh is a beautiful city normally but last night some of the buildings were lit up in pink and in the twilight it was just gorgeous!
Now the downsides, it was hard work especially the last 5.2 miles and i do have a blister and my left knee ached like never before but it was so worth it! Together my team of 5 have raised over £2500 which we are very pleased with! Thanks to all those FS friends who sponsored me!

Would i do it again? - you bet i would! It was such a buzz and we are already talking about doing it again next year and trying to beat our times!

We spent Sunday and this morning resting and recuperating at a gorgeous health spa near Peebles. I spent hours in the steam rooms and the jacuzzi/spa bath and as a result today i feel brill, not a twinge! We have also been eating lovely healthy food. (and not to mention the crisps, dip and champagne we had inour room! but after burning up approx 2,600 calories we thought we deserved it).

So ladies if you get the chance then sign up for it. I dont know if they have them stateside but in Uk google walkthewalk.

I havent weighed in yet will do so tomorrow but somehow i dont think there will be a loss, too many extra carbs consumed last week but hey it was all for a good cause!
