    I'd love to join as I am soooooooooooo unfit and definately no where near running. I had been toying with the idea of finding a cheap pedometer as I think I am well off the recommended 10000 steps a day.

    I have also just got a 8 week old puppy who will be able to go out for walks in 3 weeks.:T :T

  • Ooh I think I might have to join this one!!

    I've got a sponsored walk at the end of the month, it's 12 miles and i NEED practice. I did walk 4 miles last week but ended up having to get a bus coz I got blisters on my feet. Gotta admit the shoes I had on weren't the best for walking in. My Mam gave me £20 towards some trainers so all I need to do now is WALK up town and get some lol

    Good luck everyone!

    Hey we are a lovely bunch over there and keep us in mind when you feel you might like to venture onto running...back in April when I joined I could only walk and this weekend I completed my first half marathon so it is possible!

    The main thing is that you enjoy what your doing and keeping fit. Walking is great for both

    Happy walking everyone :)
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
