How To Fit in walking in your lifestyle

This blog was inspired by going to see my son play rugby today. There are benches but due to many teams playing the Inclusives play where there are no places to sit and putting cups of coffee from the clubhouse finished into the bin and wasn't far away but it was a good to walk just those steps and next week I am going to start walking around the entire green. I want to do more walking and it is a big field and I know will be good. I love walking around a park or common where it is safe and just enjoy the surroundings. We have had quite a bit of fog but by the time my son plays rugby it should clear so I take the opportunities to walk around the pitches to build my steps.

The best time to walk, for me, is in the mornings and tomorrow fancy when my son goes to school doing walk just around the block to then come back pick up cupcakes as Wednesday its my sons birthday, then spend the day indoors like I am now. I love my morning walks and just doing the school run, or getting of the bus stop two stops away can really help to fit in some walking each day.

Walking around the house, in the garden and running errands can be a good time to walk. I break up my days by walking different places and this week going to walk to Wimbledon from Morden and do a bit of writing and editing in Itsu which is a nice place to eat. 

I like to use the treadmill but there is nothing better than the great outdoors. 

Where I live there are a lot of people with dogs and so good to get out and take in nature and I want to when it is not foggy or too cold is to sit with my journal and write with a coffee in my travel coffee cup in Woodcote Park and will be doing a list of things I'd like to do for the winter like that. 

I am at the moment going through my #Autumn list and one of them is to go to Itsu in Wimbledon. There isn't one in Epsom and I will get the bus to Morden and walk if its not too foggy to Wimbledon and write and been a while since I've been there.

Every little counts and I include walks when walking to my local newsagents and when walking around the supermarket and planning walks around Christmas too.

So see how it goes. Have a great week.
