Walking....and resumption of #getfitordie lifestyle choice :))

Having been totally embarrassed in the summer by having to buy new clothes for Suzie's 50th & seeing my whale like features in pics...it was obviously time to take charge of my health!!

Running was out of the question (toooo fat !!), so power walking was the option...and I have taken to it like a duck to water !! 

Started off round our local (very local) footpaths - 3 miles or so)..Developed a bit more knowledge of the local bridleways and footpaths and now regularly 'do' 5-6 miles Saturday and Sunday mornings; ritual being go one direction on Saturday, reverse it on Sunday...:)  

Found some aliens at Waterford ...

strange statues on The New River Path...

Lots of strange mushrooms....

I've started to walk further afield...from The New River Path down to Cheshunt,,,

 Along the Fleet with this young lady...

Around London...

with a lush bier...or two :)

Along the Aberdeen coast...

Dad (!) had been there before me...(not...)

until the bridge disappeared!!

Around Sleights////

with my newest, bestest friend :)

An fun filled Easter for us....

It has been traditional for Suzie & Me to make the Easter pilgrimage to Weymouth to camp and contend with wind, rain, ice and, occasionally, sunshine...however this year it was a bit viccy verca...Claire et al came to brave the wilds of Hertfordshire and camp near us  http://www.westmillfarmcampsite.co.uk/.  

 First night camping in the nest....

Who's that sleeping in OUR bed....

 A walk in the bit of sun we had - Hartham Common...

 A bit of fishing...

 A McDONALDS !!!

 Hunting for the Eggs....(Suzie the great hider)

 Alisha is FAR too tall....

 Three happy bunnies...

Running (walking)running(walking)...again :)

WOW...just been for my first run since late July '11 !!

Returned alive, hot, itchy - last years corn is now this hay fever inducing crop :-




So it's chemists next !!

Really quite surprised at my time around my little course - not too distant from last year and recovering well... and I can still breath !!

Merry Christmas etc.…..

Decided to get back into gear and keep a running blog this Yule season (and if I really get going to keep this up to date and move away from Facebook….)

So (what a limp way to start!!), what’s happened so far?

RELAXED start to the season

Friday 17th

Had a relaxed evening with fellow badders people – long time friends for Suzie; big part of her life.

Saturday 18th

Peter was supposed to :

a) Watch Watford play Preston North End in the afternoon,

b) Then wander off to Luton for school christmas bash…

Suzie was supposed to go to St Stephen’s for the last dance bash before christmas ….

BUT

it snowed

So the world came to a stop….
