Local walking

Energy levels have returned, not to my ‘normal’ levels but much, much better than before! I’m also feeling very unfit (probably more mind than matter this one). Anyways we got out for a lovely long walk up Miterdale, staying close to the river then up past Burnmoor Lodge, down the White Cross Path to the Woolpack, lunch at Dalegarth station and a nice amble through the valley woods and fields on the Eskdale Trail back home. In all I think it was about 11 miles, and did me the world of good!

Life change

All Change! Life is taking on a completely different challenge for us now as we will become parents in June. Things have already changed for me as I’ve been very, very tired and a bit nauseous. So I’ve had to cut back on a lot of exercise. Most things can still be done but there’s no more bouldering for me now as the risk of landing badly is too much and I’m not going to try and get back into running now either, as it all feels a bit uncomfortable and I'd have to start where I should have started recovering from the Achilles injury i.e. ½ mile runs and if all went well an increase of only 10% max. per week.

But I can still ride the bike, climb routes, do yoga and of course walk! ….when I have the energy…..

Not sure where this blog will go so we shall see.
