Anyone else want to join us?

Everyone is very welcome .
It spurred me on to do a walk today despite heavy rain!
Borrowed DH's waterproof trousers so didn't get too soaked

I'm in too! Added issue for me is that I suffer from anxiety and agoraphobia so on a lot of days just leaving the house is an issue for me but I thought doing this with others might spur me on, So today I managed a 1000 steps outside and the rest marching round the house and garden and hope I can build from there. As an added incentive I am going to put a pound in a pot for every 5 miles I manage so a nice bonus at the end if I get there

I'm in! Including things like the school run and my running, it should be possible.

I'm a frustrated, lapsed hiker due to young DCs who are too big to carry and don't quite have the stamina to do it themselves yet (although DS1 is working on it). Most of the mums have taken up running instead!

Hi I saw this on FB earlier and signed up :) I'm going to aim for 3 miles a day so I have a bit of leeway for days where I don't get time to walk. Doing first one tomorrow as I'm too hungover today Grin.

Some people, like me, are going to count all their miles.
Others just their 'boots on'miles.

Yep! I've been really lazy last year and have been using the car far too much. Is that the tag for the Facebook page?
