Friday 19th October after Circuit Training a really nice group of our fitness family made our 5th visit to Ilkeston Fair. It's become a tradition that we have to go up together, it doesn't matter if there are 4 of us or 15, we know it's a good laugh going on a few rides and getting out in the fresh (slightly onion smelling) air at the fair. All fitness family friendships get put to one side for the annual smash fest on the dodgems.
A rough mapping out gives us around 5km of walking, make that 6km with all the weaving around people. There was a really good atmosphere at the fair including police taking selfies with groups the kids. The weather was perfect and we all loved it, 9 of us made the walk this year with a few people stuck at work wishing they could have joined us. We did dominate on the horse racing game taking up over half the seats, I managed my first ever win to claim a little minion toy.
It's always great to see so many families out walking around town, no games consoles or mobile phones in hand. Just families out having a great time together and while walking too!
Bring on our 6th annual walk to the fair in 2019. Will you be part of our little fitness community and join us on the walk?
Keep you eye out for the next newsletter on the 28th as there maybe another fitness family walk coming your way soon.
Keep active and earning your MEPs!
