Thanks Cat for visiting my diary. It is lovely to get your comment.
It is funny that you should say that about
aerobics. Tomorrow (i.e. Monday because I am in the middle of Sunday now) I am going to a keep fit class (my third session). They do some
aerobics there and I really enjoyed that on the last couple of weeks. I am looking forward to all the other sessions between now and Christmas. I certainly plan on signing up for more of those classes next term too.
I now walk such distances that I have (from a zero start in February) turned into a bit of a local eccentric. People introduce themselves to me and ask me about my walking. This is quite new because to be honest we have tended to be fairly reclusive. I also meet other regular walkers. I am now getting a lot of really positive comments from people. It is so funny when people ask me if I am training for a marathon or something.
Anyway - two of the people that I have met have mentioned a water aerobic class that the local leisure centre runs - and I am toying with finding out more about that too.
The funny thing about the walking is that I would never guess how far I am going now if it were not for the pedometer. I knew how long the long walk was because we measured it in the car - but all the rest seems to blur together. The fact that we have measured it elsewhere is good because quite frankly I would sometimes question whether I could have walked that distance. It is a bit of a check on whether I can believe the pedometer. I can now do the long walk without sitting down once - but I had to build it all up. Back in February I had done enough after once round the block, and was really proud of the amount of exercise I had done then too.
Some days I really feel like a human jumping bean. I have been saying that to my husband all afternoon. I have not had as much
energy as this since I was young - in my twenties anyway - and I am 48. As for distance - I am up to 10.63 miles already and it is 5 p.m. - but I think that I will take it easy for the rest of the day. Something about Sunday being the day of rest!
Best wishes
Margaret
