A daily encouragement thread for get everyone walking more.

It doesn’t have to be done perfectly and just turning up counts.

Can I walk kilometers? It's not quite as far.
Yesterday I walked 1 mile and today I walked another so that is 2 miles down.

I did 4km at the gym today. Incline was between 4-6.

I also walked to the gym and back+ all the way to the shop to get milk and a croissant in the morning!

I need to get back to listening to motivational stuff again. I feel so flat.

Would have done well last year.....I worked 4 months of nightwatch foal watch on my neighbors thoroughbred horse farm. They had 20 pregnant mares in the huge barn & did stall check every 15 minutes or every 5 minutes when a due date was there or signs of the horse or horses going into labor & having to help the foal nurse for awhile after birth. That was a lot of walking for those 4 months 8 hours a night. This year I walk my new dog around my farm cause I don't have fencing up right now. Still good walks but not like last year. Hiking in my woods is cool too but don't do that often

I did 2 miles today (which was my goal), broken up into 2 separate walks. Tomorrow, since it's my day off and I'll have more time, my goal is 2 miles in one walk - since I have time, I can slow down if I want to.

I just did 2 miles this morning, all in one walk as was my goal. I'm proud of me. Now it's time to rustle up some breakfast...

Today I walked for another mile. (yay) Much cooler here now so I needed a jumper. Have to say that I prefer to walk when the weather is cooler.

I got 5.9km done in 89 mins.

I have a all or nothing personality. Either I go to the gym 5 or 6 days a week or I don't go at all.

I just watch my favourite show on Netflix- All of us are dead.

Woohoo! Great job! I like walking when it's cooler too so prefer to go out in the morning now that it's getting warmer where I live!

Wow! 5.9 km that's like what... over 3.5 miles I think! I'm at 1.2 miles so far today but am heading out for another walk now.

I woke up late. Was at the gym at 8.10 instead of my usual 6am- so only got 43 mins on the treadmill before leaving. I literally live 5 mins away from the gym which makes it easier.

I had to sort out my rent.

43 minutes is great though. I make my breakfast during my morning break from work, so plan to use part of my lunch break to walk again today, and then some after work too. Having this thread is a great reminder for me to keep gettin' out there!

I hope you got your rent sorted!
