In response to The Weekly Photo Prompt, this weeks prompt is: Walking
I’m on a walking program to get fit for my trip to New York at the end of April. I’ve joined a walking group, via WordPress, the other members live in America, we call ourselves the “Turbo Snails”, and I’ve installed a “step counter app”, on my phone. The aim of the group is to walk every day, and record how many steps we have done, and gradually increase the steps per day, over a weekly period. My first two weeks(almost) have been steady and my progress seems to be increasing. I shall take my chart to my physiotherapist on Monday. The main priority, is for me to consistently undertake the daily walk, and naturally the step count will increase over time. As wobbly as I am, the first two weeks has been a pleasant success, in the context of my progress made so far !! , a total of 27,530 steps…. and on January 1st, that amount seemed an impossible target… I was then struggling to step out of the house…

Well done Ivor, I’m proud of your efforts.
I should join that group myself. My own walking has been reduced greatly since my autumn chest infection. I need to build up again. π

Keep going Ivor. My partner Tim and I love our walking and feel fitter now (in our 50s, nearly 60s) than our 30s. I am sure that fitness will continue for you and us!

Ha! When I first started reading your blog I thought of “Walking on the Moon” by Police. We think alike! Baby steps turn into adult steps that turn into healthy steps. Keep going!
