Alternative exercise...

A week ago I finally moved into my fellow Carebears house in Kingsland. Although where I find a job is going to dictate where I live, I do hope it will be here for a while. Friend comes with a furry friend too & so now I have an additional excuse to walk, something I haven't done for a while & with Chloe & I's 1/2 marathon looming I realise I really ought to get on with some training. 

Cue the heading of this blog. For now, I am taking my exercise out of the gym and walking & if I feel up to it running instead. 

One of my walks last week with Mitch (the furry friend) was around the bays.

It was a lovely crisp winters day & although the initial sunshine was diluted it was far more preferable than the freezing rain that hit 1km from the car. 

Mitch is an odd dog, instead of chasing sticks or attempting to swim as Otto & Bear would do, every time I stopped he would stare at me reproachfully. One could argue I read too much into his look but to me he was saying 'can you really justify stopping?'

So that is my motto for the week, I have such a long way to go with both my fitness and weight loss goals that whenever I tire of either, I'm going to look down at the skinniest dog I know and think 'Can I justify stopping?'
