You don't need to tell me.

 I'm very unfit.. don't know what happened.  I've not run anywhere for years neither can I jump, but I used to be able to balance on one leg and now I wobble!

I think in the winter we hardly went out, cold and wet is not me, altho; I used to go out walking, if it wasn't raining, but this year we didn't. 

When I was in the garden yesterday I went to bend over to grab a dandelion flower to stop it seeding, as digging it up is a big spade job, they have such a deep tap root, and I suddenly felt nervous. I was afraid I'd over balance, so got my walking stick and I was fine. But I didn't like that feeling and I remembered over balancing the year before last, and going down like a tree being felled.. so I need to exercise and do some balancing exercises. 

I did try to find a class, but none here suitable for me. Lots of people gave me names but really not for me! I can't see me in leggings moving to music. I did a few years ago, but that's not me anymore. We have a treadmill so I must give it a go, its just so boring!!

However I am doing a virtual walk,  Kirsten ( letterfromhome) mentioned the Conqueror virtual walks, and so I'm doing that logging my daily steps.. its encouraged me and keeps me focused!

I'm not going to be able to run a marathon, but I am aiming to walk further than a mile, I can't at the moment. 

Any ideas?
