Ahead of last year. Walking right now in the Arizona desert is wonderful. Temperatures are lovely and we even had rain the last two weeks! I am walking shorter walks twice a day now, enjoying sunrises at 7 am, then later afternoon sunny times. Our dog is in heaven ;). I don’t walk fast, mostly due to the dog and her need to explore, but know that this walking improves my health and happiness. Thank you again for organizing this happy group ;)<br /><br />Hilogene in Arizona.Hilogenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-28492322104506457042019-12-02T21:32:43.030+00:002019-12-02T21:32:43.030+00:00Good morning to Ilona and all fellow walkers!

I have a really bad back and walking does help but I have to be careful, so my New Years resolution is 500 miles for the year. Not huge I know but I think for me realistic, just too frosty at the moment and I'm scared of slipping. I broke my back 10 years ago slipping on ice so have a real fear. Determined to meet my goal next year. Walking is free and good for mind and body so going to give it a go.

That leaves me 32 miles still to walk to reach my 1000 mile goal. Today I did 5 miles on a beautiful sunny and frosty morning.

As long as you have the knack of fighting back you will get where you want to be. One foot in front of the other, as much or as little as you like.

But I probably wouldn't use it because it would slow me down even more. I look for rough surfaces to place my feet, sometimes on a grass verge next to an icy pavement.

It's horrible to step on one. 100 a month is hard going, I did it one year and got to 1200 miles, then I dropped back down to 1000. It all depends on what else you are doing with your time. I think it's about finding a comfortable balance.
