Challenging myself

Dipsey profile image
8 Replies

I don’t know about others but I find it difficult keeping myself motivated to exercise. So each year I sign up for a crazy challenge to keep myself going and to stop my 47% lung function deteriorating too fast. So far I’ve done the swimathon twice, The Shine half marathon night walk, 25 miles of Hadrian’s wall over a weekend all in aid of varying charities.

This year I’m doing the London Hike marathon on Saturday. So wish me luck. If you happen to be in London and see a number of people walking the Thames Path I’ll be in there some where. 😊

Well done, It's really good to hear you're exercising and taking challenges. I try to exercise a couple of times a week and it definitely helps. It should be on prescription for people suffering with Lung problems.

Good luck with the London Hike Marathon.

Hi there, wishing you the very best of luck for the hike marathon, ( what is a hike marathon ? ) it’s so good to challenge yourself the best you can . I did a sponsored walk for BLF at the weekend, I only did 2 KM, the longest I’ve walked for a long time, but it felt so good it’s motivated me to do more. I start PR tomorrow so that will keep me going even more. Take care and keep on keeping on. Best wishes, Christine.
