Are we nearly there yet???

I walk/jog/run 6K or so two or three times a week. It's not fast or elgant but I do it.

But if I suggest a walk to my dear husband I'm met with cries of horror at anything over 5 K at a slow walking pace. I've just dragged him and our daughter (30 and 6 ft tall, not a child with short legs) just over 8K. We had to stop for a picnic lunch and had plenty of water to drink.

I could have done it in half the time and had to keep slowing my walking speed. I find it very frustrating and I was getting techy 😠 especially when they were asking how much further it was from about half way.

So is it just me being impatient or do others have the same problem?

Are you expecting them to be more able because you are?

[Ebee54 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

No. I used to go walking before I did C25K. I don't think that 8 K is that far to walk.

[Hidden in reply to Ebee54]

it might be far for other people who aren't into it.

I think we do so much brisk walking and running that we expect everyone else to walk as fast . It just doesn't happen 😊

My husband and I are long distance walkers, did Hadrians wall last month but I would not expect other people to walk like us.... Just use the time as family bonding time and training for them! Also my husband was a marathon runner and accompanies me on my very slow runs... He never complains as he is almost walking as I am sweating and plodding along..... Some are good at some things and others just haven't got there yet!

Don't sweat the speed and enjoy the family time together. Stop and take photos, laugh and have fun. The more often they come walking the faster they will walk naturally.

Patience 😂
