Dog Walk Sunday

Sunday is mostly always a group dog walking day (this if I'm not away marshaling somewhere).  These are usually quite leisurely affairs more of a social thing an exercise thing.  Today was no exception but did involve a bit of incline.

Didn't really do much the rest of the day I'm afraid.  Had plans but couldn't be bothered oops.  Had some crisps and crackers and pate at Lin's then beans on toast for dinner.  

Saturday sauntering

Today we went to Buittle Castle for my 60th birthday present, yes from last year lol.  Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon learning about the history of the castle and how the cousins (both priests in the Western Orthodox Church) are restoring and improving the Castle to turn it into both a tourist attraction with B & B and a religious community.  The tour included an afternoon tea served in the library, very posh indeed.  

Before the tour we had a walk round Rounall Woods at Dalbeattie, good paths with some slight inclines it took roughly 45 minutes at a gentle pace, the dogs enjoyed themselves.  Good to know this little wood is there for future short  quiet walks.

On the way home we stopped off at Dalswinton so the dogs could have stretch of legs and a bit of running about and having fun.  I stepped on a sluttery tree root and fell onto my knee, yes my sore knee,  Nipped for a while but seems not to have suffered too much

Walking tomorrow at the castle.  Let's see what else I can fit in.

Once More into the breach

Have decided that it's time to resurrect the blog.  I've gotten lazy and fat and fat and lazy.  I injured my knee well over a year ago and it's been a complete menace.  However after a failed attempt with a NHS physio where I thought it was better and decided in my wisdom to stop the exercises, I opted for a private therapist and have been working hard with the exercises, well mainly working hard apart from a bit of a blip lately. So this blog is an attempt   not only to make me take stock and behave and get back on track both with fitness and  my figure but also make notes on my exploration of the world I chose to adventure in.

I don't want my running days to be over and am determined to at least get up to being able to do 10 miles.  So here goes from tomorrow the knee exercises re-start and so does the clean eating.

I'll just use this to record what I do, be it walking the dog, climbing hills, exploring, cycling - yes I have a bike and know how to use it  - just haven't in a while, jogging - hopefully, swimming with Rissa as she's joined the gym and is on her own fitness journey.
