Thanks @ski and @thenewaverage I'm getting there slowly but surely!

This week should be a good one as I'm already on over 20 miles of walking in 4 days!

Ski well done. I’m hoping to get out for my long run while Dh watches the football later, although I feel snotty and not really enthusiastic right now!

thenewaveragebear1983 · 11/11/2018 16:29

Managed 8km in the cold and rain with a stitch, before giving up

38.21 miles of walking done this week!! Very happy with that, I had loved to have hit 40 miles but the rain on Saturday kept us inside

797.66/202.34

With 7 weeks until the end of the year I now need 29 miles a week to hit the 1000 mile target, which is totally doable!

Nice one ski and Amy,

Nothing for me today, I’m trying to do alternate days resting for my bad foot.

amysaurus87 · 20/11/2018 22:11

Thanks @ski and @thenewaverage I'm feeling pretty confident I can do it, today was a struggle with the weather as it's been so damn cold and rainy I didn't really want to go outside with my little one, but managed to get a few miles in today.

Didn’t run yesterday but instead walked my 5km route with Ds in the buggy. Won’t count that in my figures, but can’t believe I’ve never thought of doing that before on my no running days?

Today 15km

1423/ 77

SkiMum99 · 23/11/2018 18:51

I walked everywhere bear when I was on maternity leave and loved it, lost 3 stone far better fat burning for me. Just a shame I’ve now re-gained 2stone Sad over the last 5yrs and just can’t shift it despite all the running. Flipping peri-menopausal hormones have a lot to answer to! Enjoy the walking Smile I didn’t run today as stiff from my strength training session yesterday. Hoping to swim later now pool open again.
