Changing Posture

Time seems to be hurtling by. With only a couple of weeks to go before our 500 mile trek across Spain. Managed to break the 12 mile barrier yesterday and forced ourselves to do another 4 miles first thing this morning. Aching a little but nothing major.
As a Bowen Therapist I am finding it interesting to note just how quickly our bodies are changing, particularly posture. The body will always adapt to circumstances. Prior to this we have done little walking, so our bodies have been working hard recently to make what we need to do as easy and efficient as possible - remember that our body is exceedingly clever and is always asking the questions "Fit for What?" & "how can I improve?"

It will be interesting to see how our bodies change over weeks of continuous punishment.

Family and friends think we are bonkers, and I have to say I think we must both be missing a marble or two. However if a great charity like Rowcroft Hospice can benefit from our folly, then at least there must be some method to our madness.

Training miles 9, Injuries 1

Fully packed and loaded. We set of on our first extended walk around Devon as part of our training regime for next months adventure across Spain.
The 9 miles went quite quickly and the views around Marldon & Compton were spectacular. The only slight fly in the ointment was that I managed to removed half of my nail off of my little toe! Not a good start.
Not much Bowen Therapy can do for that. Attached is a little picture along the way.
This is also my first experiment of using my iPhone to blog with, as access to a computer will be a rarity on the 500 mile walkway.

Walking 500 Miles for Rowcroft Hospice

The month of June is going to be an exciting one for me and my wife Sally, as we are setting out on a month long adventure on the 'Way of St. James'. This is an ancient pilgrimage route dating back to at least the 7th Century. The route we will be walking will take us from St. Jean Port de Pied in France at the northern end of the Pyrenees. We will then be travelling west for 500 miles to finish at the town of Santiago de Compostela. For those who wish to benefit from some Bowen Therapy during the month of June will just simply have to wait, or meet me somewhere along the way in Spain. It has occurred to both of us that this is possibly an insane escapade, yet will be raising money for a worthy cause: Rowcroft Hospice. We have therefore concluded that if such a great charity can benefit from our folly, all the better. If you would like to make a donation, large or small please go to: www.virginmoneygiving.com/SallyandAustin I will also be keeping up to date through this blog whenever possible along the way. TTFN
