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?

When all is said and done, say less and do more.

 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.

5 @ 50

Well my Cyber munchkins I did it, I ran,walked and finally crawled the 60 miles from London 2 Brighton. I was one of nearly 2000 people who did it, it took me around 20 hours and I was 268'th over the line. Not the podium finish I was looking for but it will do! En route I lost a couple of toenails, so apologies to any ramblers on the  South Downs who come across anything unsavoury, apologies to them, it was all for a good cause. Got some big plans brewing now for the last item on my list, but in the meantime thinking of something water based for challenge number 2!

Good Pin, Bad Pin

Finally in training for the www.london2brightonchallenge.com 
and this happens -  a sprained ankle and a septic shin! 

Still me fellow cyber buddies at least i have started!

Back to the Future

Jeepers Creepers, what happened there?

I'll tell you what happened; I lost a whole year and some! Not to worry though my strutting stags of the urban plane, truth to tell no one wants to read about how many ways you can sit on a sofa procrastinating about getting up off your backside and doing something, hence the silence. Well the good news is my fellow muffin tops, I'm back on it big time, and so as far as I'm concerned that gives me a license to post this kind of nonsense. Normal service is resumed and further methane fuelled blogaroos will follow.
