Hello. Breakfast on a Saturday morning and I have just scoffed this. Munching my way through the fruit I bought on yellow stickers. Strawberries and blueberries. Bananas (not YS) but must be eaten. Underneath a few Bran Flakes, linseeds, pumpkin seeds, sultanas, walnuts, and porridge oats. A big bowl full, probably too much but what the heck, all good stuff.
My total is 613 miles, I am ahead of the 500 miles for half a year, so I'm not too bothered. There is a thread on the MSE Forum, in the fitness section, where people have taken on the challenge of walking 2000 miles. I have declined to join them, as it is a step too far for me. Not that I couldn't do it, but my time is divided between several activities, and with only 24 hours in a day, I have the balance just right sticking to the 1000 miles. Anything more than that will be a bonus. So, lets have it from the Walkers, how many miles are you up to at the six months mark? You might not want to do the 1000 miles, but try your best to do as much as you can. Every step helps to keep you fit and healthy.
Just had to break off for an hour to take Bailey poodle a walk, back now. It's warm and dry outside thank goodness. Enjoy your Saturday, we'll catch up soon.

ReplyDelete108 miles for June. Total so far 486 miles. Odette
ReplyDeleteI have a fitbit and it's a great motivator to keep my steps up. Walking is very good exercise for everyone.
ReplyDeleteCorrect Tania. People underestimate the importance of getting on your feet and walking.
DeleteI walked 71.7 in June. Year to date total is 390.9. Falling short, but walking on! Today is my daughters wedding day!! I may not walk today, but will be on the go all day😀

Love this challenge to keep moving!

Love that photo; so simple and yet mouthwatering !
ReplyDeleteGee, I looked back and saw I hadn't posted since March. Weird because I though I had... Any way the numbers areApril 110, May 115, June 115. So YTD is 578. I walk everyday. As a matter of fact I have walked 1,490 days which is 4 years and 1 month. If you're interested in reading this I post on my blog. Plus I go to the gym and walk on the treadmill as well. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI've had a look thank you. Here is the link to Christina's walking posts if anyone wants to look. Copy and paste.

I have been away on the south coast and walked a bit more than my usual.It's been so hot that I've not done as much as I would have liked.The fresh sea air and crashing waves and the sound of the gulls were wonderful,just like your video a while ago Ilona.So a mainly hilly 69 miles for me x
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately life has been a bit difficult over the last couple of months and I have only managed about 65.5 miles for the whole of May and June, making a total for the year so far of 519 miles. Good job I was well ahead earlier on! I'm hoping for a better total in July. Vicki in East Yorkshire
ReplyDeleteStill very good Vick. Sometimes other stuff gets in the way. xxx
DeleteHi. I have done 156 this month bringing my total to 857 this year. Amanda in Atlanta.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Amanda. You are really going for it.
DeleteHi Ilona, two excuses for me this month, first is a four day vacation, second is the high temperatures here in Arizona...so while my month was less than 60, it brings my year to date to 558. Like you, I am happy to be more than halfway, and a huge amount more than last year. Thanks again for organizing us ;)
ReplyDeleteHigh temperatures are a killer. I leave it until later on, maybe 7 - 8 o clock.
DeleteI have done 89 this month bringing me up to 523 amazed i am on track find its become a habit i like i miss it on days where i can't go well done everyone xxx
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean, Kath, it's a good habit to have. I did a two mile walk in the afternoon yesterday but I wasn't comfortable, too hot. I went out at 8.30pm and did three miles and it was fantastic.
DeleteI have done 111 miles this month bringing my total to 543. Good stuff everyone. I am walking every day now which is great
ReplyDeleteAmazing stuff Alice, you are on a roll now, there's no stopping you. xxx
DeleteHi all Serious knee problems have really curtailed my activity this month , but things are on the mend now and I am hopeful to complete the challenge .
ReplyDelete33 miles this month , grand total 504 miles .
Well done everyone !
Hi. Don't try and do too much too soon. Give yourself time to heal. xxx
DeleteMy total is 563 to the end of June.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I was aiming for 600 and getting rather obsessed so thanks Ilona for your common sense comments which put everything in it's proper place.
I want to do several other activities including gardening and can't fit it all in if I'm not careful with my time. Well done everyone. Sue
It's a good obsession to have. Walking should be high on everyone's priority list.
DeleteHi Ilona 90 miles in june bringing my total to 477, must try to catch up.
ReplyDelete57 miles in June, so I am just ten miles over over 500. I think I need to be more consistent.
ReplyDeleteMy total at the 6 month mark is 542 miles,
ReplyDeleteHazel Dxb
Total to date is 458 miles. Must do better!
ReplyDeleteEveryone is doing so well. Six months and you are all still with it. Determination and motivation is what's important to see it through. It's a lifestyle change, and you choose to do it. Keep plodding on.
ReplyDeleteOnly 73km this month. My excuse is too hot weather - temperature raising up to 45oC and staying there. They say it will go down to about 35oC from Monday. Anyway my total to the end of June is 533km. Well done to all.
ReplyDeleteHi Ilona. My total for the month is 80 miles, making 404 in total for th
ReplyDeleteHi, Ilona. Sorry I'm late with my mileage, I've had lots of family celebrations and I was ill with a migraine. Consequently not so many miles walked this month but still managed 63 Miles. Everyone is doing so well. Love Helen xx
ReplyDeleteI do so sympathise with you Helen in having migraine.When I get one there is no way I can walk but I am so happy when I'm well again and can continue x
DeleteJune - 90. natalie
ReplyDeleteHello, 113 this month making a total of 698 so far. Sarah (Cornwall)
ReplyDeleteMy total from June is 163 miles. Michele from Australia
ReplyDeleteI've fallen behind in June and only managed around 35, most of this was done when I was on holiday in London. I had visitors and a few other complications. Will try to get back on track this month.
ReplyDelete73 miles this month and 414 in total. Not too bad as I am battling with knee pain, due I think to an old car crash injury and also marking GCSE papers. Tricia and Lucy.
ReplyDelete76 miles for june, yearly total so far 515.5 I am really pleased to have made the halfway mark of 500 miles in 6 months and hope to improve over the summer.
ReplyDeleteUgh...Amy in Florida checking in with 40 miles...not much to write home about!! Even my biking was diminished in June. Will try to pick up both in July!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Spain Ilona. Sorry about the late check-in for Wences due to us having just returned from a short holiday. Wences managed 259 miles during June bringing his total to 1.297. We visited his home town of Boñar where his walking branched into mountain climbing, his first love of many years.
ReplyDeleteJust realised that I hadn't logged my miles for June. I had a total of 93-onwards and upwards!
