    I have had to drop out of the challenge. I was pushing myself too hard and have aggravated a chronic back issue, resulting in herniated discs. On the plus side, it would seem that I have been doing mostly the right kind of things and while I am having some serious problems, I can still walk short distances, something that was not always possible in the past!

  • Hello. I have been away from MFP for almost two years but need some company to get my fitness levels back up. Not too worried about weight issues but I switched from an active job to desk work and, boy, do I notice the difference. Do muscles turn into pillows more quickly after 50? I reckon so. Walking is the one thing that I find easy and effective, so I've set myself a 90 mile challenge for January but thought I'd get into my stride a bit beforehand.

    A couple of years back, posters were uploading little trackers onto their posts. They were rather cute. I will see if I can find the link on the internet again.

    2 miles today.
