The thin of it... RSS

This blog will follow my progress in losing 8 stone throughout the year 2010. I am attempting to raise £1,000 for the SWAN Project as an aid to my challenge and to provide funds for an excellent charity.   The SWAN Project is aimed at empowering the personal recovery and growth of any person who is committed to either reducing their drinking or abstinence, in a way which helps the individual to connect to their environment.

Walking…

In as much as I’m not gonna schedule any walking in the gym until next week I will take the occasional walk outside when I can.  It is something I’ve shied away from for a while as I fear damage to my knees.

However tonight I went for a walk in the dark for fifteen minutes.  It took me in a circle and back to my home.  It takes me over a bridge along the river, back over another bridge and across a third, smaller one and then home.  I’m using the ‘Endomondo’ app which enables you to measure your walk and pace.  Tonight I walked for fifteen minutes and twenty-two seconds covering 1.2 km at a pace of 4.7 km/hour.

The tide was really high which I presume is an effect of the ‘super’ moon.  I saw an urban fox chase a cat into a small park and coming across the smaller bridge I spooked a petite woman as my troll like shape pounded across the noisy walkway.

Quite eventful!
