There has been walking, just not a lot…

Laura and I have enjoyed a couple of local walks lately that have been repeats of local walks. We were more focussed on the chatting and lunch than having adventures. We repeated a recent walk at Logie Steading before Christmas, then did a longer walk from my front door before she went on her travels again. Both walks were lovely, despite being somewhat familiar to us.

Hellooo!!

Mick and Gayle have been for a visit, primarily to introduce Bertie to us. He is very smart and I am quite smitten!

There was walking too, both from my front door. I have taken M&G onto Altyre Estate before, but not since we moved into town. I chose to take them on one of the longer walks that I do from my door, some parts of which they were vaguely familiar with but we had a lovely day and a good news phone call at lunch time, so we were all quite happy.

    It's the "Oh my God! It's only ten weeks to the Challenge!" moment, isn't it.

    I'm currently a few miles behind my three miles a day target for the New Year to the Challenge, so am putting in a concerted effort to get back to plan. 40 miles last week, and still behind!

    I do like your third picture.

    It is indeed only 10 weeks...although I do have a fairly major distraction next Thursday...
    My walking is going well. I have fallen behind by a few miles today as I have a cold that I *must* get rid of, but I've totalled roughly 120 miles a month so far 😊
    Thank you! ☺

    I want to be as fit as possible before my enforced rest 😄

    We primarily came to see you, you know. Introducing Bertie was a convenient by-product of the visit.

    Is it my imagination (or wishful thinking) or do my stumpy legs look quite long on that photo of me on the rock?

    😆
    I was sitting on the ground looking up at you, maybe it's just the angle? 😂

    Having been gobsmacked at your 120 miles per month, I've just done some sums to find that in the last month I clocked up 142 miles.
    I blame you.
    It's all your fault, raising the bar.

    Excellent!
    But there's no need to rub it in. Unlikely to reach 5 miles this week...
