Day 23, 23rd July

Cor what a warm night, 26C in our bedroom and thats even with a big fan running. So I was hoping it maybe a bit cooler on the walk at 05.30 nope 18C far to warm for me and Darcy.

It was very overcast and misty this morning you couldn't see the hill behind the village

Lots and lots of swallows

I have never seen so many together, but that could be because I'm not normally up this early lol!

The village pond is now practically none existent

the baby coots are now walking around.

It warmed up a lot during the day today, far to hot for shopping so we had an evening excursion to make up my steps.

Darcy does enjoy romping round the back fields

and the sunset was beautiful this evening.

Steps today 14524

What this is all about.

As a youngster I used to love walking. Having been overweight most of my life, walking has been very difficult for me. Over the last few years I have lost 5 stone in weight. Recently I returned from a holiday with my family to Budapest where I was hitting 20000 steps on a couple of days. This made me realise I can do this! So the next step was to find something to motivate me and being able to raise money for a good cause is even better!

Diabetes UK is a great cause and effects so many people, including my mother. Any support you can give will be a great boost for this cause and for me to keep on walking!

The Challenge is 1,000,000 steps in 3 months, that is the equivalent of walking from Dover to Edinburgh or 19 marathons!!!! Starting 1st July - 30th September.
