I'm hoping to join in ...Hi Ilona and everyone,<br /><br />I'm hoping to join in with your walking group for the rest of the year if that's ok. I saw your sign up at the beginning of the year but was daunted by it and didn't think I would be able to keep up at that time and I didn't want to join and not participate properly. <br /><br />However I've improved things since then though and feel confident that I can keep up with you all now. I got a Garmin for my birthday in June and have been doing more walking since then, then last month I kicked it up a notch and participated in an activity called Steptember. It's aim is to do 10,000 steps a day for 28 days in September, it's also a fundraising activity for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance. It was great and I walked 213.3km (I'm in Australia and so think metric, the internet tells me I walked 132.5 miles) and I raised more than $700.<br /><br />So if it's ok, I'd like to challenge myself to 4 months worth of walking for the remainder of 2017, which would be 333miles/535.9km. I really want to keep walking. <br /><br />Thanks, <br />Louise in Australia<br /><br />Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-23237802439876908402017-10-04T17:31:45.283+01:002017-10-04T17:31:45.283+01:00hi ilona, septembers total is 83.5 those half mil...hi ilona, septembers total is 83.5 those half miles add up!

So I spent lots of time in the car as they are 1 hr 15 min drive away from me. This will continue as I will want to be of assistance while I can. On the other hand I must find more time to walk for my well being too. So a renewed commitment to do that! September miles = 63 + total for year of 868.62 = 931.62<br />Thanks, Sonja in NCsbjdncmlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033206778621067312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-1389667342842899102017-10-03T03:33:43.491+01:002017-10-03T03:33:43.491+01:00I walked 74.3 in September for a total of 594.8 ye...I walked 74.3 in September for a total of 594.8 year to date.<br />Margaret in Marylandmargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241731307548440196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-56380003110646023132017-10-03T00:05:16.405+01:002017-10-03T00:05:16.405+01:00Thanks Ilona and Odette.

It's up to you to monitor your progress, and you can report in here, on the first of every month. We keep this going all year so It's not something to have a go at for a week or two then get fed up. <br /><br />After blocking Anonymous for a couple of days I find I am not getting as many spam comments as I was. I'm going to leave it open to everyone for a while and see how it goes.
