Check in time for the Walking Group.

Hello my little bloggeretts. Here is a video from Tuesday, views from the Humber Bridge. 
How is your walking going? This is your chance to clock in with your miles. Are you doing the 1000 mile challenge? I am on 88 miles for January. Basically it's 84 miles per month if you are going for the full Monty. So 168 for two months. 
Let us know how you are doing. Anybody joining in this time? 
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona

  4. First time ever commenting on your blog Ilona after following you for years. I've decided to join your walking challenge for this year and my total for January is 163km (101 miles). I am in Brisbane Australia and it's been extremely hot this month so I start my walk at 4am when it's a bit cooler. Cheers, Phyllis

  5. I am on 68 miles only. There was so much snow and then black ice for a week, I only went out when it was absolutely necessary. But I did a lot of snow shovelling, so my upper arms got some good workouts.

    1. Good to see you back, Hilde. You did very well considering the difficult conditions that snow brings. We have been bombarded with doom and gloom reports of massive snow drifts, but it hasn't yet arrived.

  6. Debi from Leicester.Lovely views there from the Humber Bridge.Beautiful sunset!...Well Im sadly lacking in my target.Hubby who was very keen for this at the end of December,has some what changed his mind,saying its too cold for him to go out walking.A couple of years back,he would do 5 miles with me easy,but things have changed so much and it is all since the Alzheimers was diagnosed last November.So each day,when I go to my Mams who needs daily care from me now,I am having to take the long route to get my miles in.So only 50 miles for me this month....but hoping to stretch that a bit in Feb.xx

    1. Hi Debi. You do so well to look after your mother. There are only so many hours in a day, so to fit some walking into a busy schedule is an achievement.

  7. Good morning Ilona. I’m joining in this year and have walked 148 miles this month. I’m trying to get ahead so I have some miles in the bank as there’s often a crisis with my parents I have to deal with. I work out at the gym as well and am really seeing the benefits - weight loss, feel healthier and more toned and my blood pressure which was creeping up has returned to normal. I think exercise can avert a lot of health problems and after the events of the last four years I definitely don’t want to be a customer of the NHS.

    1. Good morning boatgal. I knew you would be back. Your reports spur everyone else on, even me. I can't keep up with you. I am glad that you are feeling the benefits of regular exercise. It's fear of the NHS that keeps me going as well.

    1. The troll is back. No need for anyone else to see the drivel they send. This poor person is mentally challenged.

    1. Well done, Pierre. The hardest part is stepping outside into the freezing cold, when you'd rather be sitting in a comfy chair in the warm.

  15. I can sympathize with Pierre, here in Calgary the weather has been mad,, but 34 miles logged.

    1. Hello Steph, good to hear from you. Having a goal and documenting your progress will give you that little bit more incentive to carry on. From that start I can see that you will reach your target. Best foot forward.
