Day 2 of our 'step challenge' and hey that was hard work - I am well out of condition and have had to really push myself today.  I did start well and walked to work but I stayed in over lunch time and then because I worked until 7pm and had a Chinese Meal waiting at home for me - I took a lift home.......

So after enjoying my meal and Eastenders (life seems so good after some of those stories) and failing to persuade Alex or Robert to join me for a walk I set out.  After two rounds of the park - lovely ducks, anglers, families, couples, individuals I was not close to my 10000 target......so off I went through the other Beckton Park - very nice too but I was getting tired.....home seemed to be calling me.

Eventually - over an hour later I did it....over 11 thousand steps - yippee!!!

Still this walk got me really thinking - quite a philosopher am I....and I realise how lonely a long walk can be on your own.......I don't notice the distance half as much if I walk with someone I like to be with!

Now life is like that - how much we can lighten each other's burdens and share each other's challenges just by 'walking alongside' each other for support....now sometimes it is good to be on one's own but often a good friend alongside is such a relief.

So here's to tomorrow - more stepping and of course more thinking!
