So I have dabbled with this challenge for a few years. In fact this is the first post about it I wrote. While it’s safe to say I haven’t made much effort this year I decided to go for it. What’s changed? I want to do it, living here is such an opportunity that I feel I should do it, I have the means to do it.
I have realised that I cannot sustain an exercise regime, I am so tired after work that as much as I shouldn’t all I want to do is lie down and sleep. It is a battle to stay awake sone days. This challenge is something I can do as I go about my daily life, with a few miles added by extra walks I plan. While it’s not a “boots on” 1000 miles for me, it is something to aim for in the future.
I now live in an area with amazing opportunities to walk and explore there are hills, lakes, canals, rivers, gorges all within a five mile radius. It would be silly not to visit them.
I now am fully immersed in the Fitbit club, I am using it to its full potential. In fact I am on my second one. Last year I calculated that I had walked 996 miles, which is so frustrating and showed me they importance of tallying the total mileage as you go. Had I know I could have easily slipped in an extra four miles and become a fully fledged “Badger”.
So to update, my total this years as of today stands at 257 miles, over (just) a quarter of the way through.
