"Exercise
is better then any medication for type 2 diabetes” the nurse
exclaimed,
to the small group
of us who had applied to join Saint
Columcilles' diabetic clinic.
And so I am
destined to roam the hills
of Wicklow, five days a week
until medical
opinion changes or the
pharmacy companies come up with a better drug.
I
did try exercise in a gym once, but that was so boring
that I gave it
up as soon as my subscription ran out.
Actually walking is very
enjoyable, especially in beautiful surroundings
such as the
countryside of Ireland. Hopefully some will find new information
and
discover walks that they never knew existed before, while others may
just enjoy the photos and the chat, and still others by this website
may be encouraged to take up walking.
The
health benefit of walking only takes effect when it becomes a
“lifestyle”
rather then an occasional toil. A pleasure rather
then an endurance.
Along with the health benefits, walking is a great
social activator
and encourages conversation even among strangers
that are met along the way.
I hope to reflect this chat in this
website.
For
my part I hope to be motivated to continue in this “healthy
lifestyle”
and obtain practical experience in the design and
construction of a website.
And
finally as a practising Christian I hope to share my faith in a non
intrusive way.
With all this in mind I offer up this my attempt at a
website to the Internet browsing Public.
For feedback I can
be reached
at
wicklowwalks@gmail.com
