Lyrebird Nature Walk

Went on lovely relaxing walk today, 3.6kms through quite hilly forest. Actually it may have been relaxing for some, for me it was pretty full on! I look forward to the day I can take a stroll through a forest like this one and enjoy it without having to heave 160+kgs around (still easier than carting 170+ around).


Got 3 new people in today, so 7 total for the next two weeks. Seems like a good bunch and it is interesting for me as I am now an "oldie". I know the program now as everything is  repeated from the last two weeks and so while still just as scary I know I can handle anything that is thrown at me.

1000 steps tomorrow again and I am going to try hard to push 1hr. I did another block walk today and instead of 45 mins it took around 30. It is truly amazing how much our fitness can change in a short time. Or maybe it isn't my fitness that has changed it is just the knowledge that I can push harder than I thought and do more than I could.

Again comes down to having a safe environment to push yourself to your limit and people who help people like me for a living all around.

  1. Won't it be lovely to enjoy walking through the ricefields when you are here. Dad will bring the GPS next time so we have maps. It looks like a great place to walk and train. It must be interesting to be an oldie and know the routine so you can concentrate on your stuff. I love seeing the daily photo = well done and hugs. Mum and Dad
