Thursday, Friday, Saturday AND Sunday 50 minute Susie walks.........and the best news is that my back is getting less stiff and my hips are hurting less the more I walk her (instead of asking Susie to take
Oh out for her walk):D
 
Thanks Alan:D. We've just finished another 50 minutes through some beautiful woodland.....we are taking advantage of Mark being on holiday so that he can drive us to different places for the walks:D. Susie likes having a chauffeur
 
Not having internet access combined with some decent weather means I clocked up 16 miles over the weekend.

Goodness! Well done Ally! 🙂 I imagine we are much closer to the Mediterranean by now - update tomorrow! 🙂
 
18K running since last login. I've entered the Wetherby 10K in September. Hope my knee lasts the distance this time!

5 k today got to admit to not running all of it, but mighty fine try since I've not run for 18 months since getting the bike. My bike rides put my running to shame

Well done Di! I did 5k this morning too! Running is very different from cycling as you are lifting your whole body with each step - I was huffing and puffing along through the park this morning and there was a guy just in front of me calmly pedalling along. We were going at the same pace but it was a lot tougher to do it on foot! 😱 Mind you, I wouldn't get far on a bike as I can't ride one!

I though it was time to start running again. Will still do the cycling as well. I so want to drop another half stone and hopefully the running will help. It's not to late to learn to ride a bike, my sister learnt about 3 years ago xxx
 
The peddy-thingy says I tramped another 10 miles over the weekend. We had some decent weather and I wanted to be out in it so I did my favourite canalside walk - twice.
 
Umm, where are we now?
 
3.2 k on treadmill tonight, 15 minutes running 15 walking - I'm aiming to do 5 k in 35 minutes that's as fast as my little legs will carry me lol
 
Finally! We have reached stage 4 in our trek through Europe from top to bottom! Thanks to everyone's efforts we have now travelled a further 476 km from Mont Donon to Samo?ns in France, passing through some beautiful scenery on the way...
