Competitive ones aren't my thing at all.<br />Maybe you could start something?<br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-72139416888855646812019-10-03T00:11:51.000+01:002019-10-03T00:11:51.000+01:00I'd love to find a walking group near me.

I'm sure there are competitive ones, but I'd just love a nice stroll with others through the countryside. Sigh. People don't tend to walk here a lot at all.

At the moment I'm doing it all as indoors activity, mainly because I lack courage to pound the streets in an area where so many know me! I can't take the shoes out until I know they are comfy or I won't be able to exchange them soit seems an ideal way to try them out, especially now I can use the podcast.<br />I was a bit nervous to start with but he was very nice and very helpful. My feet have always been dodgy (I used to have my shoes built up on the inside because I was so flat footed); he spotted that right away and spent ages finding a supportive enough shoe. And he didn't tell me any prices until I had made a decision between three that all supported well and felt right because some think that more expensive is better and some go for cheaper but actually, choose the shoe, not the cost. Made a lot of sense to me!<br />By the time we'd finished, I felt right at home.<br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-33733334931857280802019-10-01T09:50:08.494+01:002019-10-01T09:50:08.494+01:00Hopefully you can get the headphones working.

Did you find the running shop daunting? I always feel completely out of my depth in those places!Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-85752256514093893812019-10-01T09:15:46.100+01:002019-10-01T09:15:46.100+01:00You can get a bit lost in it all, I agree.
