Confession  I’m 245lb , That  the biggest I had ever been.  And I need to shift 4 stone.

Since 2019 I have walked the Camino Frances and the Via Francigena, I always start heavy and then by the end I’m around 13.5 stone (190lb) and I feel great. But this time with the Appalachian Trial, because it’s so tough;  I really need to start off feeling great and then get even better. So I got to be at my ideal weight.Check my progress on insta not2Old2

Oh dear what happened?

 In 2019, I had a powerful realization while walking the Camino Frances, a 500-mile pilgrimage from France to Spain. The people I encountered and their stories greatly affected  me, making me realise more than ever, this life isn't practice rehearsal, it's the final show. So, I promised myself to always live my best life.

not2old2 Start a Gap year at 63!


 

At 63 I have decided to have a gap year. I finally managed to sell my Business, I got peanuts for it but enough to get me started on the year and if I matched it with a bit of entrepreneurial spirit and a good slice of luck, I should be able to last out a year. About 10 years ago I started this blog  and I am going to use this space as my Journal and post on Insta too. Ultimately I want to thru hike Appalachian Trial before the end of my gap year  (2200 miles) so I need to be fit and wealthy (both of which I’m the opposite of now) so let’s see how I get on.
