Guest Post for Sizzling Toward Sixty: Building Walking into your Lifestyle

June 14, 2017November 2, 2018 Retirement Reflections

Thank you to all readers who have checked out my recent guest posts at Sizzling Toward Sixty and Jill Weatherholt’s Blog. It has been a great experience to introduce you to sites that I love, meet new readers/bloggers and to see the intricate connections and intersections among blogs that I follow.

Shout out to Sue Loncaric for hosting me once again at her site. This time I wrote about a huge passion area…walking! You can check out that post below. Once again, your comments are hugely appreciated!

From Sue:

Last month, Donna Connolly from Retirement Reflections wrote a guest post for me Happiness Revisited. Donna’s post was so well received that I asked her to write for my Health & Wellness Month and write about her passion for walking.

Prior to retirement, I lived and worked in Beijing China for fourteen years (Middle School Principal/Deputy Director at The Western Academy of Beijing). Leaving international life behind, my husband and I retired to Vancouver Island in June 2015. To document both this transition and our new adventures, ‘Retirement Reflections’ was born. I hope that you enjoy reading these reflections, and will be willing to share your own. View all posts by Retirement Reflections

Thanks again for being such a wonderful guest, Donna! You have inspired me to try to plan a walk like the Comino which is on my list but hubby not that keen. I love collaborating with you and look forward to our next collaboration. Keep walking and be fit, fabulous, healthier and happier.

  Thanks for hosting me once again, Sue. I greatly appreciate it….and look forward to our continued collaborations.
  My last two times on the Camino Trail, I saw numerous women hiking the trail alone (or with a friend or relative) while their husband sat that walk out. Cousins walking the trail together was also very common.

Walking with a friend is a great way to hold yourself accountable. I know someone who did the Camino (In one straight shot!), and I was a substitute walking companion. If you have something interesting to talk about, you can walk for miles without even realizing it. I should have taken your “Start slow” advice though…I was often sore for a couple days after these walks.

Great post!

  Thanks, Marty – I agree that walking with a companion can be super motivating and makes the time pass quickly. Hope your summer break is going well. Thanks for commenting!
