Regarding the weather, I hate walking in rain so I tend to walk when sunny skies are promised by the weather people. Over the last few years I have discovered that there is always at least one day in any week when we enjoy sunny skies - if only for a couple of hours.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-84229546518411872502016-02-25T18:28:32.011+00:002016-02-25T18:28:32.011+00:00YP, you seem blessed with good weather on your wal...YP, you seem blessed with good weather on your walks. Whilst everyone else is hiding indoors and turning up the heating another notch, there you are, striding out in beautiful sunshine. <br />When I belonged to a walking group (now disbanded, alas) we always stopped for our "banana break" after a couple of hours. I still smile at the thought of everyone digging into their rucksacks and hauling out their bananas, (though the odd apple did make an appearance)and on occasions it was almost desperate synchronised peeling if we'd gone too long over the allotted time ! I always took one of our dogs with me, so was loaded down with extra water, and an extra banana for him too.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-7064164755680916552016-02-25T09:13:18.749+00:002016-02-25T09:13:18.749+00:00Unless it's a warm day I never really feel lik...Unless it's a warm day I never really feel like drinking or eating when tramping the land.

The store where I work is so large I usually average 5 or 6 miles walking around it each day and that increased during the holidays. I've been using a night splint on one foot, and doing doctor recommended achilles tendon stretches, and taking Motrin, but so far I'm still having a lot of pain. Even our nightly walk with the dogs has been miserable. :(Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-30373222259471708952016-02-24T19:17:28.556+00:002016-02-24T19:17:28.556+00:00I had that feeling about the man.

Once, in America, with Shirley and the kids we walked from our hotel on the edge of a little Florida town to a restaurant in the town centre. It was less than half a mile. The owner of the restaurant was astonished that we had walked saying, "Why didn't you come in your hire car?"Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-2593415066933768712016-02-24T19:12:34.192+00:002016-02-24T19:12:34.192+00:00I met two other people walking a dog.

But I'm afraid I would not have been able not to eat or drink at all for so many hours. Maybe a very short stop to nibble a cheese sandwich would have been in order, and a sip from the water bottle every now and then (no need to stop for that).<br /><br />The man who chatted to you probably never walks much himself - so many people don't. Even for the shortest distance, they take the car, which is a shame - they don't now what they're missing.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-54590435852885115362016-02-24T18:18:09.536+00:002016-02-24T18:18:09.536+00:00It's surprising that you met only one person. ...It's surprising that you met only one person.
