Another 45 (ish) minute walk

[Instructor57]

Not really much to say here as it's exactly the same route that I have been doing for a while (Apart from yesterday!)The forecast was dry all day so little chance of getting wet .

The hard part was trying to take different photos 😊

It took a little longer today as I think I stopped for a bit longer for the pictures .

Vo2max is up again which is interesting giving me a fitness age some 20 years younger than my actual age !

I find this very strange as I'm recovering from a MI 🤔 ?

What was really interesting today was the smell of all the grass and flowers following all the rain , it was really intense!

The picture of Misty was when I returned home .

She was sleeping in the long grass next to my chicken run in the back garden!

It's a bit untidy there as I don't have the chickens anymore and I have not got around to tidying it up yet 😐

Keep walking, Ian! Your photography is getting pretty good. Seems like you should leave that chicken run area for Misty she looks very comfortable there ….

[Instructor57 in reply to Jools2020]

Unfortunately I have to take a screenshot of the montage as the file size is too high to upload , so Im loosing a lot of definition 😐I still have the chicken coop in the run and sometimes spot misty going in up the ladder for a nosey 🤣

[Jools2020 in reply to Instructor57]

haha, she’s probably hoping that there’s a hen you’ve forgotten about!

You are doing very well indeed Ian, 7 lovely photos, especially the one of Misty, you must be very pleased with your fitness age being 20 years younger than your actual age.

[Instructor57 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Alan , yes pleased but not sure I believe it 😁

[Oldfloss in reply to Instructor57]

Believe it... I believe mine!!!!

[Instructor57 in reply to Oldfloss]

How I feel doesn't quite align with the numbers 🤣

[Oldfloss in reply to Instructor57]

Nor I...but I like the idea x

[Instructor57 in reply to Oldfloss]

Me too 😁 xx

[SueAppleRun]

Just great to know you are walking, the garden will get tidy when the time is right

[Instructor57 in reply to SueAppleRun]

The walk was fine ,but having a few problems with my strimmer at the moment .I may give it a go tomorrow if It will start and run 😊

[Oldfloss in reply to Instructor57]

Did your part arrive ?

[Instructor57 in reply to Oldfloss]

Yes, that's fine 🙂

Glad it stayed dry for your walk. I love the smell of the plants and grass following a rainfall. Lovely to have Misty waiting for you when you arrived home.

[Instructor57 in reply to Rachmaninov2]

Yes the aroma was quite strong .And Misty is usually waiting for me 😊

[Birdlady64]

Petrichor - a wonderful smell! The weather has been miserable here all day.Misty looks very regal as usual. She might be upset if you tidy her hiding place up too much. 😂

It will be interesting to see what happens to your vo2max when you do start running again

[Instructor57 in reply to Birdlady64]

Haha, Petrichor, I had to look that up ! 🤣And yes, I'll be interested what happens to vo2max when I'm back running.

Hopefully soon be finding out 😁

[Oldgirlruns]

Oh to be 20 years younger I57! I’m so pleased you’re out and about again, keep up the walking - every step a year off?!

[Instructor57 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

I wouldn't mind being 20 years younger if I could avoid the last few months 🤔🙂

[Doris8 1000miles per year]

Great photos. All these miles you’re doing you should do the 1000 mile walk challenge. You will have clocked up a few miles now. Keep going. Love your photos.

[Instructor57 in reply to Doris8]

Thank you !And yes I'll keep going even when I'm running again I'll keep up the walks 🙂👍

45 min! Awesome! That’s pretty good progress!

I had to laugh about the untidy chickenless garden. And I really miss our little flock of three. Chickens in the garden were brill!

[Instructor57 in reply to CBDB]

Mine wanted to live in MY coop 🤣

Boo-boo

[Rachmaninov2 in reply to Instructor57]

Lovely photo, I think I would have found it hard to say no. 🐓

[Instructor57 in reply to Rachmaninov2]

I don't think Misty would have approved of a chicken in the house 😁

[Rachmaninov2 in reply to Instructor57]

Oh yes, I hadn’t thought of that. The feathers would have been been flying. 🪶

[CBDB Administrator in reply to Instructor57]

awwhhh, yeah, they’re great outside pets (who want to actually be near humans, but we had a feeling they knew the closer they were to us, the safer they’d be. )

Our last (and smartest) chicken

[Instructor57 in reply to CBDB]

Aww .. they are real characters aren't they 😁
