Not cooking, but... footing? #UnconfinedWalks Day 0 is here

Quick post just so I don't forget when we started this... and because the cool new twitter hashtag #UnconfinedWalks is clearly a reference to this esteemed blog, even if it's about getting out of the kitchen (/off the sofa/up from the bed, or wherever else the back end of October has left you slumped).

The clocks have changed. It's distinctly dark before 5 in London now, which is a bugger when my work day has drifted on well beyond that. I'm going to try to walk during the day more, and I know that's going to be a struggle, both in terms of calendar and motivation. There are plenty of others who feel the same, it seems. Walks may notionally be about getting moving in a healthy way, but for me it's definitely more about getting outside, into a different space, and taking myself out of my work-brain a bit. Which I need, as All This just keeps on getting funner.

So, #UnconfinedWalks it is.

 

Last week. It doesn't look this nice now...


Walk to a step goal and for exercise? Walk past the same spot and record your dedication with a pic? Walk wherever and show us your feet when you do? Some other goal? The coffee shop you're walking to as a bribe to bother to go out? All good.

The forecast is absolutely vile round here for tomorrow and also for the weekend (yay) so we're starting in tough circumstances. But it's worth a shot.
