Liz's, 1 Million Steps Challenge: Day 9, 9th July

Monday 9 July 2018

Day 9, 9th July

5am start, and I am really tired. I haven't done exercise like this for years, the walking seems ok, it the very early start and the late finish to avoid the heat thats killing me.

I went round a couple of fields before continuing round the village

another lovely sunrise

I decided I have to start getting more sleep, so when we got back Darcy and I went back to bed for a couple of hours.I woke up feeling much better. Darcy doesn't sleep upstairs, he is crate trained. But if ever I go up during the day he always joins me.

I think he enjoyed his sleep!!!

I didn't take him with me again this evening as he didn't really want to go, which is fair enough.

My steps total today 13369

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.
