My local tescos is just over 2 miles away from my house, it takes me 25 mins to get there if im on my own, if Boo is with me you can add a good half an hour to it to compensate for buggy pushing (baby annabel has to come too) asking daft questions, needing the loo half way down, looking in the wedding shop window at the pretty dresses, and pointing out landmarks (mummy thats where we got married to Nathy, thats where kerry had her party) takes a lot longer but you see the world in a childs eyes.

Good for you Ros, I used to walk everywhere at a very fast pace most of the time. Would leave K behind, he always ambles. The neighbours used to say they couldn't understand why I was putting on weight the way I dashed about lol
They didn't know about the odd Mars bar or something I would take to keep me going lol
Now I can't walk more than snail's pace, drives me nuts, and I get hot and bothered and out of puff into the bargain.

not very knackered--LOL
Swim as well -not at the same time--lol

but its a myth ros
exercise isnt good for you
how knackered do you feel after

Couple of years ago I could do a mile in 12 mins. Not sure now - would be a bit slower I think. (I'm 51).

Like others, about 10 years ago it would have taken me 30-40 minutes. I used to walk really quickly when I was younger so when I was 17 it probably would have been 20mins. Now I need a walking stick and couldn't walk even a quarter of that without being in serious pain and needing to rest half a dozen times and it would probably take me an hour to do just that.. maybe longer. *curses Fibromyalgia*

I go at dog Parson Russell terrier, warp speed! I also have a piece of Meccano and 8 screws holding my ankle together. I'm a fast walker I guess. I'm talking about now, I'm only 43.

I walk for an hour every day whatever the weather.

I think I could do two miles in about 20 mins maybe half an hour.

Did it again today as weather good , took me 35 minutes,

err....10 years ago, 25 mins, 3 years ago 45 mins, and I've not timed myself these days.

I do that most days usealy about hour but then I do have the dog with me!! and she does tend to sniff every blade of grass and peeeeee on every other LOL Jean

thanks , Mac -will need to get an pedometer to check it out exactly but drove round some of the way and it was well over 1 mile,

Now or five/six years ago?

Now... wouldn't be able to walk that far even on a good day, it would be too painful, and I wouldn't be able to walk at all for a couple of days after... lol

Five/six years ago? Well it used to take me an hour and a half to walk slightly under five miles... but that included letting dogs stop to sniff and have a free run off the lead, and throwing the ball for them!!

Love

I can do 3 miles up hill in about 40 minutes on a good day!

I regularly walk 2 miles to work - used to take me 20 - 25 minutes before I tore the cartilige in my knee.
Now it takes me 30 minutes.
