Hello. That's another month gone by. Eight months gone, four to go to the end of the year. The target for the end of August for those doing the 1000 miles, is 666. So how have you done. C'mon, spill the beans, have you made it? If you have a lower target have you made that?
I am on 689, so I'm chuffed with that. I could have done more, but I relaxed a bit and missed a few days. No point in romping too far ahead, might as well string the total out to fit exactly into the target time. I have got some extra walking planned for September so I will be able to ease off a bit when the colder weather comes later in the year.
Pictures from the archive. I have not been to Malham in the Yorkshire Dales for a long time. I love it there. It's a busy touristy area in the summer months. Best going out of season.
Now it's over to you. Please check in with your reports.
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
T be honest I havent really kept check of how many miles I have walked...but is has been alot these last couple of months.Always about 5 miles..but not every day.So as from today,I am going to write it down every time I walk and the mileage done.At least it will give me a total for the next 4 months.I must say,it really does clear your head when getting out of the house for a while!.It is a cool but sunny day here in Leicester so after Ive prepared my veg I am starting my next 5 miles.Hope the sun is shining for you too,xx
ReplyDeleteHi Ilona, I'm doing quite well, up to 873 miles. Hopefully have some spare should the weather turn bad. x
ReplyDeleteYou are doing extremely well.
DeleteHello Ilona and fellow walkers! I walked 106 kilometres in August, even on the breathtaking hothotterhottest days, when I waited until it had cooled down a bit in the later evening hours.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy with my total of 903 kilometres. Started aiming for 1000 in 2020 I think I can make it to over 1250 this year. I will be joyfully walking towards that, while still ever enjoying my wonderful always-the-same but never boring route :>)
In the last week of August I was on holiday in Bavaria, Germany, where I had some lovely walks in the (rather high going up) hilly countryside.
Beautiful!
Cheers!
Jeanneke.
There's no stopping you, your fitness levels must be very high. Well done.
DeleteHi Ilona. My guesstimate this month is around 60 miles. That's my average most months so I think I've done 480 miles so far this year. Far short of 1000. But my gammy knee holds me up some days but I do my best!
ReplyDeleteEvening Ilona from Dublin. Beautiful photos of Yorkshire i have not travelled to much of England but lately i have been thinking about Cornwall when its safer to travel by plane when if this madness ever ends. i have heard that can be a busy tourist spot in certain months but if i go i will plan off season. have you travelled around that area? Its a lovely sunny evening now here in Dun Laoghaire town Co, Dublin. it started off overcast and cold but now its sunny with a crisp Autumn air. Well on the walking and good luck with the rest. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh i forgot to mention this coming Thursday the 3rd of September i am off to Buncrana Co. Donegol fro 3 nights in a hotel and i will be seeing some friends. Its my first trip out of Dublin my home town as things are bit more relaxed for travelling within certain parts of Ireland. I was to go to Achill Island Co, Mayo for 4 nights back in May but got cancelled as we went in to phase 2 of covid 19 and every where shut down again. So i am looking to getting away even fro a short stay cation. I don't drive i will be taking public transport which is a few hours away from where i am in Dublin but i have free travel pass with my pension so it does cost me anything just the hotel and some spending money. have a lovely evening all xxx
ReplyDeleteMy eight-month total is 1,158. We had some really hot days, but I managed to walk early.

ReplyDeleteHi Ilona and fellow walkers. Another steady month for walking despite the heat early on and heavy rain last week. I have done 108 miles with a total of 809.5 for the year so far. It's been a glorious day today so let's hope September continues as it has begun! Enjoy your walking, everyone. Vicki
Fantastic. You have been consistent all the way through the challenge. Well done.
DeleteHi Ilona. Please could you give your opinions about paying the tv licence and wearing face masks in your next coffee chat?.p.s I've done 60 miles this month x
ReplyDeleteHello Linda. I can only talk about topics which are on my mind when I wake up in the morning. The two suggestions you make are already covered a million times over by others.
DeleteHi Ilona and fellow walkers,90 miles for me in August,I do not know my total because I have lost my notes,but I know I am on track.Hoping for some nice weather this month.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Ray. Keep it up.
DeleteHello Ilona - had a great month for walking. Weather was perfect and the long month helped again. Total of 156 for August, which brings my total for the year to 1015 miles. I set my goal for the year at 1500, so I'm on track. Hopefully I can keep it up. Cheers.
ReplyDelete41 miles for August, again too hot and humid to tackle much more. September should be better, anyway I hope so. Congrats to all those who are reaching their monthly goals and to those, like me, struggling to bring up those numbers, keep at it. That is what I keep telling myself, sometimes it works, other times, well not so much. Patricia
ReplyDeleteHi all! Glad to see you're all keeping going. I managed a lowly 31miles this month... the flooding here has been unlike anything I have ever seen but have managed to get out for a few walks which I've really enjoyed. Onwards and upwards folks! Gillian
ReplyDeleteGood evening!
ReplyDeleteCatching up on the internet and realized it was checkin day.
Still healing from the torn meniscus and the hot temperatures here in the desert. So the total for the month isn’t very high but I am doing more each day. Today I finally made it to one mile without pain. Woohoo!
August walking total: 16.3.
Thank you,
Hilogene in AZ.
I have been quite busy on the walking front with 121 miles for August, I just can't believe it!! Just shows what a bit of determination to get out every single day can do I suppose, so up to a total of 685 miles. Woohoo very happy :) Joy Central Vic Australia
ReplyDeleteHave had a busy August, 121 miles, just shows what a bit of determination to get out every single day can do. Total to date is 685 miles. Woohoo, happy with that!! Joy Central Vic Australia
