My knee is shot.
(Preview)
Last year something went wrong in the last 5k. I walked through it. Quite possibly a mistake. I thought if I didn't push it and braced my knee well I could still give it a decent go this year. 6.5 Km and I'm in pain. I'm not sure what to do. I have an MRI scheduled for next week, but I won't be able to train p...

Strange advice, vaseline??
(Preview)
Hi there, someone who has done the walk before told me it was a good idea to put vaseline on your feet, then put on your socks to absorb the sweat during the walk. This sounds a little crazy to me, however I've never walked 60 kms.;) Has anyone else heard of this? I'd LOVE some opinions!! Thanks muchly!

I've been trying out the duct tape suggestion that were posted here awhile ago and I've got to say I like it. It helps with the hot spots, if I find one I put it there next time and presto! less problems. It does stick to your socks though. One place I can't put tape is at the base between my big toe and the next...
