23/04/2021

Another week nearly complete!! 

Continuing to make good progress and still on track - racked up a big day of steps yesterday - did a meeting over the phone and was able to participate and walk in the sunshine too - Really nice experience - now up to 341 miles since I have started.... 

Thanks for the ongoing support... I will post at end of next week to update new distances and how I am getting on

Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine over the weekend

16th April 2021 - Massive Thank you...

Massive thank you to everyone who is supporting me on this challenge... and my most recent announymous donation... I'm delighted and huge thank you ❤

Thanks again for the support... means so much x

Day 10 + 11 06/03/2021 + 07/03/2021

The weekend was another successful weekend. Saturday I achieved 10,661 before the football. Not a great result for the villa but I'll take a 0-0 with wolves. 

Sunday was a lush day. Did the gardening. Did a car wash and went for a lovely walk around the cotswolds. 11,044 steps done. 

Got a week of training this week in Coventry doing Team Teach so hoping to keep the steps going... I'll keep you all posted 

Day 9 - 05/03/2021

Another successful day but much more challenging as was office based day. Needed to go for a long walk once got I'm to continue with sticking to being on track. 

Roll on the weekend but with all the sport that is on its not going to be easy....think I will aim for 10,000 each day and keep succeeding.... 10.497 steps completed today. 

Day 8 - 04/03/2021

Big day yesterday - although didnt actually feel like it strangely - Managed over the duration of the day to rack up 15,375 steps which worked out at a nice distance - 11.99km - well pleased with that - was expecting to wake up this morning feeling a little achy but touch wood feeling good - 

See what happens today - got a busy day today in front of the computer but will be aiming to achieve those 10,000 steps nonetheless. Roll on the weekend and hopefully some nice weather to enjoy a stroll or to around the local village!! 

Day 7 - 03/03/2021

First week complete - on the whole all positive - thank you to everyone who has sponsored me so far - love having the support from you all - so another successful day yesterday - managed to accumulate 12,634 steps and added another 9.75km on to my distance - Had my supervisions whilst on a walk around Ducklington lake which was a nice change and nice to see people enjoying the beautiful spaces of Witney whilst keeping safe and following COVID-19 guidelines 

So overall from the first week here we go - the grand totals - 

Steps - 80,044 

Total distance - 62km or 38.5 miles 

Really pleased with this as a start!! onwards and upwards!! :) 

Day 6 - 02/03/2021

A really good day today in terms of steps and miles added to the challenge. Despite being office based was able to do 2 meetings walking and increasing my steps to aid and assist our Global Challenge - So it was my PB to date yesterday and did 12,955 steps and did a total of 9.93 km. Really pleased with this - Its amazing how difficult when your office based it is to get anywhere near 10,000 steps so that was why I decided to try something different. TBH it was good and felt quite energised from it. 

Onwards and upwards and tomorrow will be the end of the first week - Nice to get near to completing the first milestone and moving forward with the remaining 25 weeks that I have challenged myself to do. 

Day 5 - 01/03/2021

Another good day for walking for the Guideposts Global Challenge. A long day in the office meant an early evening stroll around Rissington to get those steps past 10,000. A good effort in the end although it was freezing cold, a real bitter wind didnt help - In total yesterday 10,850 steps achieved and another 8.48km added to my miles - 

Looking forward to tomorrow and almost completing the first week of the challenge - will do a summary at end of each week to work out amount of steps, miles etc - be interesting to see distances achieved each week and see any potential progress in fitness and try to increase steps as the weeks progress.  

Day 4 - 28/02/2021

Another day complete and another 5 miles added to the Global Challenge - Total steps yesterday was 10,978 - a good day mixed with a walk and some gardening and mowing the lawn - a lush day at Rissington - nice to mix it up and felt good being out in the fresh air in the warm sunshine 

Roll on the week ahead - Much more difficult to get the steps in when at work but will try - I'll keep you all posted.... 

Day 3 - 27/02/2021

Another day done. 11,232 steps done. Managed to get passed the 5 mile target today which was good. 

Nice walk today around Rissington. Wanted to get done and dusted before rugby. On the plus side a lush warm day. 

Felt good today. Onwards and upwards and roll on tomorrow. 

Day 2 - 26/02/2021

Day 2 complete... 

A good day although walking late due to a long day in the office. So close to 5 miles today so something to aim at tomorrow... 4.9 miles complete today and 10,991 steps...mission accomplished 

Got to see an amazing sunset over Upper Rissington earlier. Colours were amazing so not all bad...roll on tomorrow and keeping up the momentum 

Time to chill and prepare for tomorrow...
