New list of Walking Group Members for 2018

Hello. I've just gone through the comments and now have the lists of Walking Group members, total miles for last year 2017, and names of those who are starting this year 2018. The first year we did it in 2016 we started with 21 names on the list. Last year that rose dramatically to 68 names. Of those 68 I have 22 names who have checked in with their totals for the whole year. I don't know whether the others have completed the challenge and not checked in, I hope they did, or they gave up at some point during the year. As I always say, some walking is better than no walking.

So let's celebrate the achievements of the 22 who have stuck it out right to the end and shared their journey with us. There are some fantastic numbers, you should all be proud of yourselves. If you read the comments you will see that everyone is feeling a whole lot better, and fitter, and healthier, since they started. Well done everyone.

TRUMPET FANFARE.

59 members have signed up for the challenge, and as you can see we are a World Wide Walking Group. 53 walkers will be feeling great by the end of the year. The months will soon fly by, if you have to ease off through injury or illness, have a rest and get back on when you feel better. If you drop out because you can't be bothered, you will only be letting yourself down. So come on, let's not have any shirking, pull your socks up and get on with it.

Remember, it's not a race, nobody is better than anyone else because you are doing it for you. It isn't a competition, everyone taking part is a winner. You are responsible for checking your own miles or KM. We want a monthly report on how you are doing, in a comment on the first post of every month. Share your triumphs and share your misery. Good luck everyone.

Thanks for popping in, we'll catch up soon.
