Finally added up my steps

Monday 19th Jan So excited to see that I've only got 4 miles left to complete my challenge! As this is my first ever sponsored anything I didn't want to set myself up to fail, so I did the bog standard 50 miles, knowing I should be able to complete it. I'd feel terrible if I didn't make it. So I'm really pleased that I've achieved something as I'm crap at sticking with things and I loose motivation before I've finished spelling it. I'm incredibly grateful for the sponsors and that you've helped to raise money for those affected by dementia. Thank you so much x Share

6 miles today!

Saturday 17th Jan Last weekend I rested as I didn't feel too good. Today the rain didn't come so I went and walked across to bosworth battlefield and then back across the fields singing my heart out.  I crossed streams, found a good stick and walked with an inch of mud underneath my boots.  The last 3 miles killed die to blisters but I'm so proud of myself. I know 6 miles isn't much, but I've not walked that far in a while and I'm really crap at committing to things.  Share

Bargains

Saturday 10th Jan Bought myself some walking gear earlier in order to walk on the ice and slush. This week I've forgotten to wear my smarty watch, so haven't recorded my miles so I'll have to guestimate. Just on a short walk before the sun goes down and wearing in my new boots. It's lovely and peaceful, but now I'm fancying myself a walking stick so I can prod things as I go along the lanes 😀.  Share

Beautiful frozen landscapes

Sunday 4th Jan Rose has helped me to get to a total of 7 miles. Walked around bosworth and enjoyed crunching through the ice. Share

First 3 miles done :)

Friday 2nd Jan Made a start today, think I'll do it in chunks 🙂 Share
