Today I visited a friend I've know since our schooldays so dragged her out for a walk. She lives on an estate at the edge of the Cotswolds where the houses are made with the cream stone so often seen in this region.
We walked through the estate and into a beautiful wood the
area is named after. It was very peaceful and green and we were the only visitors. There were some steep paths but, luckily, it
was dry. The birds were singing and the roots of the trees made useful steps to use.
It has been quite a challenging month, I would probably not
have done it without the
encouragement of my sisters and the lovely Tanya at Living
Streets. Promising to send her the write up and photos from each day and her enthusiasm
about reading them kept me committed to the pledge. (Plus the chance to win a John Lewis voucher!)
I know I wasn't training for the marathon but, to me, the goal was to make myself find the time to get out there and I did, sometimes reluctantly!
I will continue to make the effort to fit walking into my
week, maybe not every day but for longer on the days I do get out and look forward to seeing
what Living Streets will think of for National Walking Month next May.
