Today’s Pond Photo…
Hi Fitblitzers.
It was another puffer jacket walk today as it was freezing, well 5ΛC which is really cold, lol. I can’t believe it’s ‘Tuner Tuesday’ already but i’m really looking forward to the Sarah tuna stack sarnie at lunchtime. π
I did my usual default lap today (3.5 miles) and i managed to snap a couple of photos for you. I’m starting to get back into the trail walks again after my holiday in Portugal…Although i’m not used to the freezing temperatures yet instead of sun burn, lol.
The Ankle bend…π¨
Shortly after taking the photo above, and as i was actually enjoying being out in the fresh air joyfully walking along i approached the crater section! The craters must be 3ft wide and scattered across the trail usually filled with water. As i approached i set my legs into suspension mode and gritted my teeth as i can’t see the floor at all (not because of my belly, lol) with my blindness. I thought i’d gently slide through them until crunch…My right foot folded inside as my outer ankle bone hit the ground! I couldn’t believe it when i stood up and there was no pain or no snapped bones especially with the extra 3.5 stone i’m carrying around. I’ve always said that i have rubber ankles from my football days when i used to roll over on them all of the time, and i’m so thankful that even at my age they haven’t seized up yet, lol! π€£
Anyway, i’d better stop rambling on (pun intended) and check that i’m in tune as it’s ‘Tuner Tuesday’. πͺπΌ

I’ve missed you, my friend. I’ve been gone and am so behind, but I love that you don’t quit! Even when it’s cold, you are a resilient and persistent kind of guy who sets goals and plows through to reach them, no matter what the cost to yourself. You don’t see your eyesight as a disability but rather as a new and improved way to look at life. I love that!
Yay Dayle is here! I’ve certainly set some big goals this year before i reach my 50th next April. π¨ The hardest part is actually getting myself out of the door, Sarah says i use every excuse to not go out and stay in and be lazy, lol! But then i think of you guys and the post i have to write and the photos i need to take, not only for the beautiful fresh air but the accountability from you friends!
My eyesight is very frustrating at times as i’m a practical type of guy who used to work on cars, so not being able to do the simple things that my eyesight won’t let me do is a keller…But i take the eyesight i have and think “Now what can i do?” and then i adapt and try and do the vest i’ve got with what i have! π
As for the trail challenge each day, i seem to be like the old Stalone film in the 80’s ‘Over the top’, when his cap was forward he can lay back etc…But when he turned his cap back he was super focused and got in the zone and did it! I’m a little like that but i’m praying to be more consistent, lol! π€£ π
