A boost to my miles this week by helping a friend do some deliveries saw my weeks total rising to 90 miles :T

Sore legs and feet might affect me into next week though

54.8 miles for me this week.
383.7 miles so far for the year.

However I am away with work next week so its going to be a very low mileage week as I won't have time to run.

Well after a longer period of rest than I was planning, I am back 'moving'


Distance wise, its probably arond 20, but as I promised myself, more fell/mountin walking rather than urban.


Did Rivington twice (first as a warm up on Thurs, the 2nd today with the kids), then Pen-Y-Ghent on Friday.


Probably take on Pen-Y-Ghent again but this time the scramble route (didnt do it on Thurs as I had planned due to my dad being unsure about it so took the easier way up instead) and Ingleborough. Im also eyeing up Catbells and Longridge Fell. These fell/mountin walks are weather dependant as I am not skilled, or have the equipment for winter weather (IE snow/ice conditions) walking so I am going to be limited to 'good' weather with no or little snow.

38.12 miles to add for me. Weather is atrocious so not putting in much extra effort though I may need to walk to work tomorrow as I was too wary of driving car home today. :eek::eek:

The weather today actually meant that I walked more miles than I had intended as I just did the 5 mile round trip to the doctors surgery on foot rather than take the car out.
It will be the same tomorrow, I will just walk to Lidl and do a small shop rather than take the car so that will be a 3 mile round trip.

I have been monitoring my steps since January 2015. Having just completed February I am very happy to see that my steps have increase every year in both January and February.
They are my steps and my numbers and measuring the results against ME is a wonderful incentive.

In July 2016 I took up ice skating, and decided to learn properly. I learnt basic forwards and backwards skating 25 years ago, but I couldn't do minor moves such as stop. I have since learnt to hockey stop, both sides, forwards and backwards, and many other useful moves.

One year ago, when buying new skates, Sam who was serving me said I could learn ice hockey. I protested that I was 53, but she said it was not too old. Since then I have gone to ice hockey training sessions at least once a week, sometimes 3 times a week, and public skating 3 times a week. I do at least 5 hours of skating/hockey a week. It is very good exercise. My heart rate regularly goes down to 32 BPM, and I am just over 11 stone, and 5' 11" tall.

If anyone here has ever had a desire to play ice hockey, all I can say is go for it. It is fantastic fun, and fantastic exercise. And the live professional games are very exciting to watch. I speak as someone who hates football, cricket, tennis and most other sports.

So many of us drive when we would do better to walk as you have done.
