"A new you in 42"

Well, I let the side down a bit today with no cycle or run. Starving hungry at 6pm I thought about you guys and pulled myself together to go for a hearty stomp with the dogs down to the river.
Got to see a dipper which I was chuffed with!
Came back up a deer path in the wood huffing and puffing through undergrowth, and practically on my hands an knees stooping under low branches.
Returned red in the face, but very pleased with myself and grateful to have you lot encouraging me to get my backside in gear!x:happy:

Persistent drizzle at lunchtime was not suitable for a long walk so I had to settle for 35 minutes today.

Ewww Andy12345. Hope you are soon well enough to join in.
You must have minutes to spare for at least a few days after all that cycling and walking last weekend.
Take it easy til you feel better.
I'm guessing you don't want me to start a chain of virtual huggy mushy stuff? But be well soon.
Pipp
 
Sorry but it peed it down all day and we had visitors! No exercise today :(

Ace, well done. That is the power of this thread. I don't dare to start slacking. I'd be too ashamed to come on and tell you I had done nowt, and I couldn't lie to you all by pretending.

Went to Cragside. Walked round garden and house for two hours. And I'm sure my frisson of annoyance directed at the couples trailing very small and bored children round a Victorian mansion burnt a few extra calories off.

I love Cragside. If it was sunny would be a lovely walk

I actually prefer walking in rain. Just as well as I live in Cumbria! The woodlands looked lovely and smelt all mossy and fresh.

Mr Ethyl was "trapped" doing 34 at 1.30 am by it coming home from gig at Metro Arena. He took the speed awareness course option.

Haha so did I.
It is a trap . Difficult to tell because it keeps changing all the time.
I enjoyed the course though

Hi I try to do exercise everyday, today walked in to town had a look around and walked back in the rain so I recken its about a good 3 miles and I always feel better for doing something and when you are walking you get to see all sorts of things and meet people .
