So I got drunk and agreed see how far I can get round the 2008 Parish Walk!
So, I haven't walked for 20 years. I am 5foot 11 and 14 stone. This is going to be interesting.
I did my first training walk today. Funnily enough the technique is all still there. Relaxed shoulders, fluid arms, forward flat movement. Just very very slow!
Monday 26th November 2007. 88.8 Kilos (14st) 23% body fat:
I did what I will call the "Small Bride Loop" today. Its 3.82 miles. It took me 48:14, which is 12:37 mile pace. My shins were killing me all the way. My hips ached and now I have finished I have cramp down the side of my left foot. A start at least.
How on earth did I manage a 52 mins 10k? It seems a long way away...

About Me
- Richard Wild
- I was born in the Isle of Man in 1970. I left in 1990 to further my education. I didn't return to the Island until August 2007. A very lucky man, I am married to Suzanne, a Welsh beauty and have a gorgeous 4 year old daughter, Jessica who goes to Andreas School. In 1984 I started racewalking, coached and mentored by Graham Young two times winner of the Parish Walk (1971 and 1992!) and ex course record holder. In 1986, after two years of hard training with Graham, I became Northern Britian Racewalking Champion (Youth) in Morcambe. I competed in many local races and obtained a 10k pb of 52 minutes in 1987. After 20 years away, I am going to see how far I get in the 2008 Parish Walk. This is my Blog.
