I've been thinking I need somewhere nice to go for a walk, not just walking on pavement.
I live very close to a racecourse, it never occured to me before, but what a great place to walk. I'm going to check now how long the race course is, (each lap) of course.
So glad I read your post.
Thanks :)

Legs are suffering now, everytime its a mental battle the pain is worse!! :O Am thinking its time to try and relish this walking then the pain may be slightly less :p haha
 
Back to it today! Got to get serious, had a few setbacks over past couple of months but am back to it now :)

Hi Chala, well done for 7 miles!! I've started walking my son to nursery each day which is 1.5 miles each way. I do it twice per day and push him and his baby brother in a double pushchair. The nursery is at the bottom of a really steep hill so the return journey is tough going! Still, by doing this and following slimming world I've lost 5lbs in 5 days!! Long may it continue ;-)
 
Thats Great! Well done to you!!! Keep it up chuck, I love walking, makes me feel good, hurts after mind but its worth it haha x
 
Out again tonight, yesterdays walk is still hurting tho :/ Painful at the end but glad I did it.

9th May 4.14 miles 1hr 16 mins Struggled twards the end, was a hrd walk yesterday though so understandable really :)
 
Thnk you! It may seem like it but you should see me before we set off! Am like a bear with a sore behind haha
 
I find that walking really boosts my mood too. Just getting out in the fresh air and moving my butt improves my day no end!
 
Yeah me too but sometimes its hard work just to get out of the door but my hubby isa good butt kicker haha :)
 
Well am back!! After a couple of weeks having fallen out with myself I have had a stern talkin to myself and am back on it!!!

29th May 6.88 miles 2hr 9 mins :)

Thats FAB! More the merrier! Its the only exercise I enjoy and it feels better for being free! haha As long as we keep moving it has to be to our benefit! :) Take care and WALK ON!!! :D
 
Thanks Chala.. I also do Zumba which I love great fun but I'm lucky that I live in the Cotswolds so no excuss for not walking really although some of the hills are killers. I'm starting the 30 Day Shred this week as well...That might just finish me off :-0
 
Well great weather today, rain, rain and more rain! haha took the dog out for a walk, we were soaked when we got back but enjoyed it so much. :)
