Sounds wonderful @Delicatessen 

I am officially jealous.

The smell of freshness after rain is amazing! I need to get out in nature and get back into hiking. I am really out of shape though. Not sure if I could tackle a hill.

Hi Everyone I went for a hike first thing this morning for a few hours. It rained heavily for a good part of it so I got drenched. Only started to feel cold when I stopped. But the views were amazing - it’s funny how things look quite different both during and after rain. Small rivers formed throughout along with fairly sizeable puddles throughout. Definitely still worth doing.

And then I congratulated myself with a hot cross bun and steaming cup of coffee…

Hi @Delicatessen @Dimity @TAB @Historylover @SmilingGecko 

How are you guys? It’s been a while since I checked in here. Unfortunately I have again fallen off the walking bandwagon. I was wondering how you guys were doing. Perhaps you can encourage me out of my house again? 
Sorry I have been missing in action!

I'm still managing to walk just about every day @Oaktree . I miss it when I don't do it. Yesterday was too wet.

Good going @Dimity 

You are a great example!

I have been struggling with motivation lately.

Well at least you were out walking @TAB

I've worked hard to make it part of my routine @Oaktree which means I don't need to feel motivated as such. I wish I could do the same with other things! Maybe I just need to keep trying.

[Oaktree]

Definitely keep trying @Dimity 

I am going to go back and read through some of your other thread to try and motivate myself re cleaning. Just gotta make small steps each day.
