Thank you Kevin, I love getting out and about. I had an accident 10 years ago and badly damaged my back and shoulder. It took a long time to get back to full mobility so I don't take anything for granted!
 
Hiya sorry I haven't been posting , I have walked most days .
My brother in law died suddenly so had a lot to do .
 
Been stuck indoors. Foul weather. Not feeling too well.
Tried some Pilates exercises.
 
Jamrox, sorry for your loss, these things impact us powerfully. Pipp...I hope the Pilates helped and you're feeling better.

I do feel better. Thank you. It stopped raining. Despite aches and sore throat took advantage of the good weather and went to a different nature reserve. Watched red squirrels, swans,greylag geese, woodpeckers, nuthatches, siskins, and the more commonly seen blackbirds, robins and bluetits.
Activity tracker says I can put my feet up now.

I skived a bit at the weekend. It rained and hailed, a lot. I am a wimp.

Today the weather was perfect, so I upgraded from woodland to forest walk. Lovely after the rain. Fresh clean air, lots of birds, butterflies, beetles, bees.
Activity tracker is very pleased with me today.
 
I ran this morning and have done each morning for about the psst week....feels great as the day is just beginning. Followed by gym for core and resistance and a modest walk. Tomorrow, run first thing followed by a full day planting in the garden, so I'll be exercised but well and truly knackered by the evening. :)

It's been a pretty good weekend for exercise - Saturday I went for a walk into town and did my voluntary work in the evening and Sunday I walked to and from my mum's house. Both days at least 1 hour of walking. Yesterday I just walked to and from the DSS to sign on, which was half an hour. Today I'll be walking to and from mum's house again. Tomorrow's my weigh in day, I think I'll be all right :)

Well done. This is consistency, you must be very encouraged. What's your voluntary work? Kevin

Thanks, I really enjoy my time there. It's based in the college I used to go to in the 80s and it's an amazing place. The building was built in the 30s and it still has all it's art deco fixtures and fittings :)
 
Hi sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days , I have been active though and I'm off today so been for a long walk
 
I went on a very long (for me) forest walk on Monday and have been wiped out since.
Perking up a bit today. A short walk, and a lot of catching up with chores.
 
Went for my usual walk round town today - needed to get in shopping for the long weekend
 
I have made an appt to be shown around the local sports centre .... not sure whether to join for a month or for a year (then get 3 months free thus saving £105) .....

Hmm, only a bargain if you will definitely use it. So will you?
