We know that keeping fit is one of the best things we can do for ourselves.

Has anyone on here involved themselves in the #1000mile challenge ? I started last week

Ha Ha Ha you must be joking if anybody is fit to walk 1000 miles they must be as fit as a fiddle I am in my eighties and havnt walked 1000 miles in my lifetime. It is probably to raise money for a good cause which I appreciate but be very careful because excessive exercise can be fatal remember your heart beats a certain number of times in a lifetime and after that you are on borrowed time .

I’m proud of myself when I do that in the campervan! 😀 Best of luck to you and hope the conditions are not too difficult. 👍

But do they actually get the girl? I think they just fall down at her door if I remember correctly. Which I can totally understand 💤

Brilliant idea. I am going to sign up. Had my lung cancer surgery last Friday and came home last night. Starting small and who knows I may even meet those two brothers at the 1000 mile marker though my husband won’t be too happy about that.
