Good morning. It's Friday the 1st of July, check in day for the members of our International Walking Group. 🏃 Time flies when you are having fun. 😍 We are at the halfway stage of our challenge. The target is 500 miles. Have you done it?
Looking back at my calendar I started June on 424 miles, and finished on 517 miles. 😎I had 4 no walking days, 6 walking in other places away from home days, 2 local 5 mile walks, and lots of 2 and 3 mile village walks. I like to mix it up a bit. Walk a bit further when I feel like it, fill in the gaps with village walks. A change of scenery makes things a bit more interesting. 🙋

473 miles here. The first half of the year went so quickly, but I really hope I will do better during the second half.

Hello Hilde. That's a mileage to be proud of. If you can do the same again for the second half you will be on top of the job. Well done.
DeleteBeautiful photos! My total is 786 miles. We're starting to get hot here so I have to walk early (not my favorite) or late. We had a 103 f (39 c) degree day, but mostly it's been around 95 (35). Walking around my town is definitely not as fun as walking around France.
ReplyDeleteHello Sheila. Fantastic. I could not walk in such heat. Late at night would be my choice.
DeleteHi Ilona
ReplyDeleteYou had a great walking month. I'm with you -- mixing up routes makes it more interesting. A new nature center was recently completed in our area, and it's opened up several new options for my husband and I. June was a good month - 99 miles which gives me a YTD of 488.
July should be a great month as I have just one short trip planned. The rest of the days should be walking in the morning days.
Hope you have a great day

Hello Kay. You are doing extremely well. New places to walk are always a bonus. Make the most of your nature centre.
DeleteHi Ilona and fellow walkers! I walked 85 miles this past month (a record number for me), putting my total so far at 452 miles.
ReplyDeleteHello Leslie. It's good to be a record breaker, and even better when you carry on walking. There will be another record to break in the second half of the year.
DeleteHi Ilona, my June total was 28 miles, year to date 326. Temperatures in the desert of Arizona are super hot right now and my dog had a health issues for a few weeks, so our walks were shorter. Now nighttime low temperatures are 32c/90F so it is miserable ;). Hope all the walking group are doing well. Hilogene in Az.
ReplyDeleteHello Hilogene. Little and often for you. I hope your doggy has recovered. Never give up.
DeleteMy June figure was 85 totalling 459 for the year so far. Got another bad cough so not going out walking at the moment. Not sure if it's the extremely high pollen count or Covid.
ReplyDeleteHello Nick. Spose I am lucky, I have never experienced a problem with pollen counts. 85 for one month is on target. Take a few days off, wait until you feel better.
DeleteHello Ilona - 165 for June. Total for the year is now 914, which puts me in good stead to hit my target of 1500 by Dec 31. Maybe I will increase the target so I'm not tempted to slow down! Cheers, Allison
ReplyDeleteHello Allison. You are our star walker for this month. There's no stopping you. Well done.
