Mostly a jog today

11 Replies

Hi all

I didn't go out until this afternoon and took the coastal route today. I'm pleased to say I jogged (a slow jog I hasten to add) about 3/4 of the way which is really good for me.

I did 24497 steps which equates to 12.26 miles (I've found an online calculator which works out the steps from whether you are male or female and how tall you are).

More photos to follow in a second post.

I hope you've all had a good day.

Alicia :)

I envy your fitness and fun I have health issues can barely walk. I was you before. I love the photos and the white horse reminds me of a horse I used to pet when I lived elsewhere as I helped my dad through cancer and my own stuff. He saved my mental health at that time that horse he’d just see me coming and lay his head on my shoulder. They know.

There's a reason why I'm keeping on going and that's because you do not know what's around the corner, never take things for granted as you well know and I really feel for you, sorry you can barely walk. I'm sorry to here about your dad, that was really hard, my dad had cancer and it was very difficult. I'm so pleased that you had some solace with a horse, I love horses, my favourite animal and they do know when something's wrong.

Take care and stay safe.

Im sorry to read about your health issues guitara69. I can only imagine your pain. I agree that horses and other animals can sense our pain.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Stay safe.

Wow. I thought I did well last week to trot for three lots of sixty paces during my walk!! In my defence I have arthritis, fibromyalgia and leukaemia. I had my own horse until last year and have lost a lot of fitness now I'm not doing so much physical activity. I once had a grey like the one in your photo. I look forward to seeing your photos and hearing about your travels.

You have some defence, I have IBS and bad skin, nothing more so well done to you, you are awesome coping with your conditions.

As you've probably guessed, I love horses.😁

Stay safe☺

I forgot my ibs and eczema there! Can definitely sympathise and I really admire your fitness level despite your challenges. Truly inspiring and I've decided to try to get moving more myself so thank you. I've managed two and a half hours of gardening this afternoon, more than I've been able to do for quite some time including some heavy work. Bit achy but in a good way 😄. I do miss my pony time but maybe one day I will get back to riding. I found I lost confidence after my cancer diagnosis and got very scared of falling off. On the plus side with such a wet winter it wouldn't have been much fun and I definitely don't miss the awful flies!

You are an absolute inspiration with the health issues you have, you are a fighter.

Well done on the gardening, I bet that did feel good.

I can only imagine how you'd feel after being diagnosed with cancer, how frightening

It feels like freedom riding horses but yes in the plus side you wouldn't have wanted to ride during the awful Autumn/Winter we had, so wet.

Take care and stay safe.😊

That's so kind, thank you. I don't feel particularly inspiring but maybe none of us do as we are just living the best lives we can. I'm happy with my little achievement today yes as I've been frustrated recently with my lack of energy. Always been active so it's been annoying me. I have leukaemia so I'm in what they call watch and wait which means I have my blood tested every six months. I was very scared at diagnosis but it has become easier with time.

in reply to Ghounds

You are being positive and not giving up, that is inspiring.

I know I'd be the same, I'd be very frustrated if I couldn't exercise.

I hope the treatment is a success for you and I completely understand how scared you would have been, I would be as well.

Take care and stay safe.😊

Perfect Alicia!
