So yesterday instead of my usual park run, I walked the Yorkshire 3 peaks for PAPYRUS,a charity supporting the prevention of young suicide..

I did it in 10hrs 33mins....now I have 5 blisters on the soles of my feet, bruiyyou wouldn't believe (but if I can work out how to post the pics I will lol), and my legs are hating me right now. They won't move in protest. Will I be doing the park run this week?? I dont know. I have to learn to walk again before I can run..but I'll catch up with l your runs on here :-)

Ouch!

How did you get the mark on your leg?

Well done for completing the walk 😀 a good cause to have a bit of pain for. Remember to keep moving (as much as you can with blisters) so your muscles don’t stiffen up to much.

I think I read somewhere not to burst blisters so they can heal.

Thank you so much, I think it was my boots but not sure. Lol that's only one of them, I can't put more than 1 pic on.

Oh my goodness well done on the walk! What a feat of endurance - pardon the pun!

I got ankles like those after the London Moonwalk 26m . Rest and anti inflammatories is my advice . Cold compresses eased the hot itches for me.

Perhaps compression socks ?!

Great cause though Papyrus.

Top Job LittleMaz you'll be all good in a few days!

Thank you, I might get some. I had all proper hiking gear, blister socks, full boots, job lot. Lol it was gruelling. Coupled with the fact that I don't like heights it certainly was a challenge.

Not what you're looking for?
