My partner and I went on a little adventure to enjoy the sunshine and clear blue skies. It must have been amazing on the ski slopes today!

We walked around Sigriswil, near the Lake of Thun. It was my first time here.

The view from the viewing platform was glorious and the weather was perfect. Who wouldn’t want to be outside on a day like today!

We walked for about 30 minutes, a slow and steady pace. Heart rate was raised on a steep climb back into the village.

January 3: Walking in Bern

Today we drove into the city to collect my contact lenses, parked just outside the main centre and walked into and around town. Can’t say it was an excessive day of exercise. The idea for fitfor15in15 was just brewing in my head, so I wasn’t actively looking to exercise.

It was cold, it was nice. This running track in the photo hadn’t been used for exercise – you can see the actual track is still covered in snow. Those footprints in the middle are probably from people walking their dogs or taking a short cut to the river!

Happy New Year! Today is the first day of my attempt to get fitfor15in15.

Leo and I and our friends Claudia and Dani walked off the minimal excesses of the previous night with a walk around our neighbourhood. It was cold but sunny and a great way to spend an hour.

Claudia and I walked and talked together, probably slower than what could be classed as exercise, but we had a great time. The previous evening I had tossed up the idea of fitfor15in15 to her while taking another walk, and it’s slowly taking shape in my head.

Who knows what the year will bring? Hopefully a fitter and healthier me!
