Well it's officially now one month since I started this venture. I have just completed another 7 km which takes me up to 207....I finally feel like I'm making some progress. I am happy the weather is getting warmer. There are so many more people around now when I walk....I call the area I live in "sporty spice" town. There is one corner where there's a bike shop, a yoga studio, running store, gym and, of course, a bar for when you're finished with all that sports stuff.....We also have a river close by where two Olympic rowers train every day, now they've covered some mileage, and a lake for people who fish and do water sports, walking trails, an annual marathon that ends up close by and roller bladers all over the place....It's impossible here to not be athletic.....Living la vida fearless, Jan
