Walking Group check in. The last hurdle.

It's that time again, where Walking Group members check in with their mileage. Time flies, only one month left till the end of the year. Howz ya all doin? I am at 907 miles, had hoped to be a a bit further on, but I have done 100 in a month before so there is still a chance I will make the 1000. No slacking now, head down, boots on, just walk.

To recap who checked in last month. 18 peoples are still walking.

Love your photos Ilona.

Hi to everybody in the walking group. I had a busy month so only managed 72.5 miles. My total for the year so far is 847.5 so I'm still a little ahead of target. Good luck everybody with the final two months of the challenge. Even if you are not going to make the 1000 miles it's still worth getting out there and investing in your physical and mental well being.

Low total of miles; sad month for me, trying to get back on feet after having to put my cat to sleep after 16 years together; me & my other 2 cats are missing him. Have only just started up walking again last week so total for the month is 22.8 miles. Total yr-t-date is 212.6 miles. Thx!

Hello Ilona,

After three months of little to no walking due to heel pain I managed to walk 46 kilometers in October by just a few four or five times a week.
Total so far is 729, so I don't think I can make it to 1000 this year, but I am so happy I am on the walking move again.
Cycling km. for October 120. Now the weather becomes really autumnally cold, wet and windy here in Dokkum in The Netherlands I don't think cycling will stay a regular activity. Walking is nicer and easier for me in this 'bad weather' season :>)
Cheers to all fellow walkers,

Hi everyone

Patricia in Canada1 November 2018 at 12:56

Hello from Canada, Patricia here. Walked 64 miles during October, total for the year 675 miles. Walked in the rain yesterday with brolly and wellies, not cold as it was 13 C. More rain expected today. (So glad it is not that white stuff, it will be here soon I am sure). Finally the leaves are starting to change colour and fall, it seems to be so much later this year, the reason could be all of the sun we had recently. Also been on a diet of sorts, cutting out a lot of carbs, and eating more veg, happy to report I have lost 10 lbs over the past three months, slow and steady wins the race. Walking has also had a hand in this loss too. I was not a lot over weight, but felt pudgy, it is so hard to get rid of those extra pounds as you get older. Talking about getting older, the middle of this month I will be 77 years old, (how did I get that old), thankful that I can do all the walking with no issues.  Patricia

Well done everyone and lovely pictures Ilona. I’ve only managed 31 and am falling by the wayside a bit. I was away for a week and since then got caught up with other interests and commitments. I need to motivate myself. Weather here continues mostly clear and sunny though has been very cold. I hate the clocks going back and the dark days, I have episodes of depression during the winter which I’m sure are related to the lack of light. All the more reason to get outside then!!

76.5 miles for October and that brings my total so far to 759.5 the point 5's add up, they're too good to waste. I love this time of year for walking.

Ray Nicholson1 November 2018 at 20:47

Hi Ilona and the walking group,hope you are all well. Miles for October is 89 bringing my total to 893.

I love getting out walking nearly every day but am finding that I can't do a morning's heavy gardening and then walk in the afternoon.
My total so far this year is 985. I was hoping to reach 1200 as we aimed for that last year and failed to reach it. Realistically I don't think we'll make it this year either.

Jenette1 November 2018 at 22:18

Hi Ilona 75.6 for me this month. Only on about 800 so touch and go whether I make the 1000

Kath K1 November 2018 at 22:29

111 miles this month 824 in total should manage the 1000 now if everything goes to plan
Everyone's doing really well on the home straight now sure we'll all do our best to reach the target we set ourselves good luck allxx

Carole Cooper1 November 2018 at 23:02

Hi Ilona. 76 miles for me this month. Total 806 so far. I’m feeling much fitter than I did at the beginning of the year and even though some days it feels like an effort to go, I always feel much better once I have been.

Rentintin2 November 2018 at 14:35

Only 74 miles this month bringing my total to 1119 miles. However, 20 of those miles were from a lovely weekend spent in Stockholm. Even with the cooler weather, what a fantastic walker friendly city. All the best and keep up the great work!. Cheers

Late as usual, with 79 miles this month, bringing me up to 897.

Lisa3 November 2018 at 05:36

Hi everybody, I managed 161 miles this month which gives me a total of 1018 miles. The weather is supposed to be warming up here as it’s late spring but it’s been wet and windy. Lisa W. Tasmania, Australia.

Hi done 77 this month and 814 in total.

Slow month walking this month in Phoenix, but still going to the gym and being active. Total of 34 miles in October, brings year to date total to 567. Thanks again for keeping us going Ilona! Your walks are much more scenic than mine, but you also go a lot further ;)

Thank you everyone, now we have the last push. Don't forget, you are doing this for you, not for me. You look after your own body and I will look after mine. That's all I ask. ilona
