August to October 2010

At the beginning of August 2010 we started 2mile daily walks on flat terrain locally. Our 3year old son (the youngest member) seems capable of keeping the pace...........great!

By the start of September 2010 my old Bergen come out of "retirement" to help carry a 60lb load on my walks. Wow.....the first few weeks were torturous.....I felt every step on route.....time/age has definitely taken its toll!! By this time we had increased our daily distance to nearly 4miles on flat terrain and everybody was coping well (except me!).

By the start of October 2010 we started getting slightly more adventurous and continuing our 4mile walks on low-level mountainous terrain locally. By now my body had given up fighting against the 60lb load and I seem to be moving well (as well as can be for my age I suppose ~ as its nowhere near the pace I used to maintain 15 to 20years ago). My wife and the youngsters are coping well.....no aches or complaints.....great!!
