They will probably consist largely of a few photos I take on my little walks with updates on my progress - or lack of it!
So . . . here goes. I have been interested in the Walk 1,000 Miles challenge for a while. I first heard of it via Twitter a couple of years ago and decided to have a go myself privately, i.e. not signing up officially but keeping a track of the miles I walked in a year.
I thought 1,000 miles sounded totally unachievable, especially as I was still working so I decided to try for 500 miles. I was thrilled to reach my target in 2015 so decided I'd increase it a bit in 2016 as I was due to retire in September. I was pleased I managed about 650 miles last year so I've taken the plunge and signed up for the full 1,000 miles this year. It's official!
Mostly I aim to achieve that total with small regular walks daily, about 3 or 4 miles a day will suit me. In fact although 1,000 miles sounds like a lot, it only works out at 2.74 miles daily so it's 'little and often' for me.
Having said that, I hope that I will be able to fit in a few longer walks and also walks in other parts of the country.
Right, that's enough rabbiting on. I've managed a short walk every day so far this year. Here's today's photographic effort on a cold and frosty morning.
