Monday 24th April 1944

Another 5 mile road walk this morning. It was bitterly cold, windy weather, so one had to walk fast. I finished 8th (of 33) and my time was 56 minutes. That pleased me well as it was 10 minutes better than my previous time. Also, on that occasion I felt like a semi-mobile corpse for the next couple of days, whereas now I feel not the least bit tired or stiff. So this physical training really is doing some good.
