Re: Self care- walking and cycling
Back at it this afternoon.
To guess about a 3km circuit that we have.
May do the circuit on my bike to check.

Re: Self care- walking and cycling

She carries on like a gerryatric.

Re: Self care- walking and cycling
That all stopped @Former-Member because he couldn't (or wouldn't) get the dog to shut up. I was anxious the constant yapping would create a problem with neighbours.
I'm the only one who worries about that sort of thing because I am the one who has to sort it out when there is a problem.

Re: Self care- walking and cycling
Dusted of the pushie and went for a ride for the first time in ??? this afternoon.
Headed out with a dream of 20km and landed at 12km. Tomorrow is another day 😁 Easy loop to add on to as energy permits.

Re: Self care- walking and cycling
Hi @Determined .
I go for a few walks daily, around a lake where I live, it's peaceful. I get quite anxious when I see people walking or driving past however, and think I can go invisible by putting my head down and not saying hello. I hope people don't think I'm being rude, I just have bad social anxiety, believe it or not.
But sometimes it clears my head, just looking at the birds, nature, etc. I try to do some mindfulness - take in my surroundings, the smell of the Eucalyptus trees (one of my favourite smells), listen to the sound of my feet on the ground, etc.

Re: Self care- walking and cycling
Hi @Former-Member , nice to meet you.
We have a couple of options where we are of varying length loops for walking or cycling.
One of the joys of being in town. We used to live more rural and walking while possible wasn't deal, walking paths in every direction now.
I cant remember when I last rode my bike. Possibly over 12 months or more, my wife (aka darling) and I are trying to get back into cycling it again.
I understand the 'putting my head down' ... Im liking the cycling because there is less preassure to stop and be sociable if we see anyone we know.

Re: Self care- walking and cycling
Managed 3 laps today on our starting over training circuit. (Cycling).
I prefer cycling to walking I have decided. Feels like more of a workout.
