It was ideal conditions for the 10km round trip walk to my “coach” JJ. It turns out JJ’s carer also thought it was a good day for a walk and had taken JJ for a little stroll round her close. JJ had a lovely time on her walk but it clearly tired her out as she’d just woken up and was a bit groggy for a while. JJ asked me how my week was and what I’d been up to, I was telling her a bit about the volunteering we do at GoodGym and she said when she gets better at walking she’d like to sign up. Bless her, I can’t see it happening but her heart is in the right place.
