    Hi wanttobeasaver,
    Just got home ( work 12 midnight to 1pm'ish ) sun is out, my boots are dry so I'm going back to my fave training walk 5 miles up and over the hill.
    Rolo, my Jack/Yorkie cross seems to be fairly excited about it!!

    Need to get dog a new collar so can take her for walks too.

    Wheres everybody gone? Out walking I presume....
    Lost my 5 mile circuit through the fields cos of a rather protective bull!!
    Still, managing to get in a couple of miles after work most days.

    Hope you've all signed the petition on the 'Warning, changes to Charging Orders' thread.

    West Highland Way and John O Groats to Lands End, they are acronyms of the two.

    I'd love to join in but I'm supposed to be on bedrest (3 weeks today and my second baby will be born) after that there will be no stopping me - I intend to walk everywhere to shift the all of 7lb I have so far put on (don't worry you guys baby is fine and big - its acting like a parasite - it takes everything I eat leaving me very ill and aneamic). I did walk 6 miles on Monday though - taking my son to and from pre-school - there is a reward for anyone who can find my ankles though - they've gone!!!!!

    I'll be back in a few weeks to register

    All the best LoulaBelle

    Seeing as running isn't for me (at least until after LB arrives in April), I'm in for walking.

    I'll aim to do 15 minutes at lunchtime and another 15 minutes when I get home, slowly increasing to 30 minutes at lunchtime and when I get home. I'll use googlemaps to work out how far I've managed to travel, though I reckon it'll be about 1 1/2 miles a day initially up to about 2-4miles.

    I'm glad your goals are more like mine cat4772 - not quite ready to plan a huge walking marathon yet :o

    I should get back to walking in my lunch times - even if it's just for 10 minutes or so. I did walk down to the shops at the weekend and back again with 2 bags of shopping. Almost took the car but as the weather was so good, it seemed a waste.
