Good morning. Today is the day. . . . . when the International Walking Group are invited to check in with their mileage. Two months into the year and the target was 168 miles, if you are going for the full 1000. I made it to 174, phew, that was close.
The next target to aim for is 252, so we have 31 days to achieve that. Let's go for it. Now it's up to you to give it your best shot. Let us know where you are now in a comment.
A few random pictures from the archives.
Thanks for popping in. We'll catch up soon. Toodle pip. ilona
Well done to you. I'm short on the target so currently with a good start in January, this month I haven't met the target. Mainly because I don't like going out in 45 degree wind and rain. So I am at 137 so far. I really need to get moving in March whatever the weather.
ReplyDeleteHello Karen. 137 is a good number. I don't like going out in the rain either. Move More in March. Good idea.
DeleteMy cell phone keeps track of my steps but I am not aiming for 1,000 miles. Too many for me, I am walking about 700 miles a year. You look good and enthusiastic in your photos, love the motorcycle and the last photo of you and a mystery man.
ReplyDeleteHello Terra. Best foot forward. The mystery man is William Hardy. He came to my house when filming for Shed of the Year. He is drop dead gorgeous.
DeleteI am shooting for 700 miles. I am behind right now. This month total is 45.74. So that gives me a total of 83.34 miles. I am hoping with spring coming i can get out more and makeup the difference.
ReplyDeleteHello Tammy. It's good to have a target, something to aim for. I think we will all have a spring in our step soon.
DeleteLove these photo's📷 well done ilona👏❤ you made it knew you would that's brilliant meanqueen

Hello Levi. Walking is a lot of fun. Clears the head as well.
DeleteHi-ilona it certainly is
Delete👍Levi x
Go and watch solitary rambler on YouTube he's fantastic he's name is Patrick Leach
Tell him I'd sent yer😆
I did 62 in Feb making a total of 149. Hopefully the weather will improve and the numbers will go up.
ReplyDeleteHello Nick. We will all be sprinting once the sun starts shining. Good numbers so far.
DeleteMy knee has been hurting a lot, so I just managed 101 miles. Today I have an appointment with the orthopedist, I hope he can help me. And I will try to do several shorter walks every day which will add up too.
ReplyDeleteThese are great pictures of you with various vehicles, and with the mystery man!
Hilde in Germany
Hello Hilde. You are doing remarkably well considering you have a dodgy knee. The mystery man is the gorgeous William Hardy.
DeleteNice thing about being "retired" is that I can walk anytime, to get around the weather. Even in England, it was rare for it to be bad all day long. Here in Victoria, Australia, the weather is better overall. Most days, I'm still walking before breakfast with my daughter, and getting in the miles that way. Occasionally I walk on my own. So far, so good...
ReplyDeleteHello KH. Retirement is certainly enjoyable because we can pick our own timetable. Keep it up.
DeleteHello Ilona, alas I have not been able to do any walking to write home about in February, due to my old left leg troubles still playing up.
ReplyDeleteHave done some cycling, which I very much enjoyed! I need it to be outside, moving, get out of my home and always coming back refreshed in every sense.
Looking forward to another appointment at the orthopedist on March 22nd. Hope he can offer new treatment or at least some relief of the nasty mostly nightly pains.
Cheers,
Jeanneke.
Hello Jeanneke. I have a friend who always cycles, very rarely walks. She looks fit and healthy, so it is a good form of exercise.
DeleteHello! These photos are great! I started tracking 3 weeks ago and have walked about 23 miles. (I'm not counting regular daily activity, just real walks) March will be higher! It's getting a little nicer outside every week. - Christina from Indiana
ReplyDeleteHello Christina. I am pleased to hear that you are getting into the habit of walking.
DeleteHappy photos. I can see you cycling still, but the rest .....I don'know.
ReplyDeleteSo far 187 miles in total for 2022.
Hello guusje. Fantastic miles for you. Well done.
DeleteMy total for February is 108 miles and 191 for the year. Only two days of not walking because of bone chilling temperatures so I call that a win.
ReplyDeleteSheila in Idaho
Hello Sheila. You beat me. I had 7 none walking days. Well done.
DeleteThe weather was frightful for February, so I was able to log only 62 miles. Fortunately, temps are going to be much nicer (with no anticipated snow or ice) in March so I hope to bump mileage up a lot.
ReplyDeleteLove those photos you shared.
Hello Kay. I like that, look forward with optimism. Things can only get better.
DeleteHi Ilona, I had a 58 miles this month, so with last month's 74 I'm at 132 to date. I'll try and up my game this month!
ReplyDeleteHello Ger. Your miles are building up nicely. A gradual increase over the rest of the year will see you easily reach the finishing line.
DeleteI did only 37. We still cannot walk outside as there is snow everywhere and it cannot be moved as there is no place to put it. I had to improvise. You all did great.
ReplyDeleteHello FUTPS. Snow makes it very difficult to do any activities outdoors, except for perhaps winter sports. Maybe clear a space in the garden and do a few aerobic sessions. Or maybe not, ha ha.
Delete132 miles in February for me, so total is now 278. Short month (plus a couple of cold snaps when I couldn't bring myself to go out!) so a little less than usual, but ok.
ReplyDeleteHello Allison. That is flippin fantastic. Be proud of yourself.
DeleteHi Ilona, will try to post this from my computer rather than iPad and save you lots of effort reposting! 55 miles this month, year to date of 117. Arizona is beautiful right now so I try for a few short walks a few times a day. I will be aiming for 2.5 miles a day this month. Glad to read through all the walking updates :)
ReplyDeleteHello Hilly. Yep, that works. Thank you for checking in.
DeleteI haven't walked much lately for exercise except yesterday with my daughter to a street and back. It's been raining and I've been gone most of the day and weekend, where it rained as well. Thanks for sharing older photos of you...good looking lady! :- }
ReplyDeleteHello Becky. It is no fun walking in rain. You are excused.
DeleteLucky you, snuggling up to Will Hardie!!!! An interesting mix of photos, thanks for showing them.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, Sussex
Hello Amanda. The snuggling didn't last long enough. He is my dream man.
DeleteHello! I put in 73 miles walking this past month, for a total so far of 141.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures, Ilona! Thanks for sharing, it was a joy to see them...
81 miles for me this month... 173 total. Very pleased with our miles considering the storms we had!
