This means that I can get out and about again, instead of spending my days indoors in pyjamas. It also means that I can slowly begin working towards this year's exercise goal. Target 2020 is, of course, one up on last year. Our goal - for me and the dogs - is to walk 2020 km before the end of the year.
Yes, I know that this figure is actually less than the 2324 km we managed to walk in 2019, but we're all a year older now and there's no sense in setting a goal than can easily be sabotaged by arthritic injuries or lung infections. (Last year I spent several weeks on crutches and several weeks with respiratory infections.) So, even though I'm trusting to go "from strength to strength" this year (see previous post) I'm sensible enough not to overdo things or push myself too hard. So I'm aiming for 2020 km in 2020, and hoping that we might even go beyond it again this year.
As we did last year, we donate our kilometres to medical research - a Spanish charity raising funds for multiple sclerosis. If you also walk a lot and would like to donate your kilometres too, let me know and I can tell you how to sign up. Swimming and cycling kilometres can also be counted.
