Hello Skippy
You do sound like you have a purpose, this is good for your mental and physical health. Listen, this is my prof advice, sports medicine is my thing. Build up slowly, your bones are constantly renewing and reshaping according to what pressure they are used to. So therefore, they may not adapt as quickly as you want to push them so start slowly with a short distance, (use bus stops as a guide) and gradually build it up other wise you may risk a stess fracture, muscles need to be warmed up also, otherwise they will tear. I will shut up now, have great fun.
Kerri, my boots are swuade (I dont know how to spell that, its leather inside out)and jeans too long, my feet where wet, the ice water gradually spreading up my legs, I wanted to cry, plus the dog, pulling, I should have worn skis. The boys slinging snow balls also. Fun? I dont think so, out came the car.
Have fun tomorrow, all the schools are closed here, tomorrow too, just had a call from the transport. Thats my lie in sorted.
