Happy Sunday everyone!
It’s miserably raining here where I am at the moment, and my walking has taken a bit of a back stage presence in the totality of my activities. Of course I do get quite a bit of “everyday walking” in, from casual but regular walking to and from work, or the active warmup and cool-down walks as part of my 3 runs per week. But dedicated, active walks for the sake of walking as an activity are a bit far and few between, in the average once per week … max.
This is a shame, especially as my back is better than ever. Whereas a couple of years ago, I couldn’t walk more than 20 minutes without backache, now walking seems just so easy without any back pain. So dedicated half-day hikes are a tempting option again, and I always have had quite a list of routes I wanted to try.
So, I’ll have to rethink how I embed dedicated walking more into my busy life again.
And if you have plans yourself for increasing your walking, let us know. It really helps to share ideas for this.
One of the things that does help me to do any outside solo activities is listening to music. I love to create themed playlists of songs, befitting to a season or an activity.
So I thought I’d share some of my Spotify songlists here, just in case it also helps others to get out there for regular walks:
