Do not give yourself the burden of a resolution, set yourself goals.

In 2023 I would like to walk one last mile

If you have a spare 10 minutes you can read why here.

I also have to decide, one last mile in Leeds, down south or both!?

Day 1 – One Last Mile

I went to the Dojo today for the first time in 15 months.

MASSIVE thanks to Gregg Oliver @ Respect martial arts academy - My Brother!

The idea is to retrain my muscle memory to move one last mile, to walk once more over that distance.

It was a very, very tough session just learning to move and engage muscles once more.

It's a start! x
