#walk1000miles – February 2017

5 Comments Posted by on 01/03/2017

I know that February is always going to be the shortest month of a year but I had to do a double-take at my watch when I read the date.

Already, March is here! Where did the first two months of the year go?

Already, the first month of this new year now lies behind us!

Having amassed an impressive total of nine-hundred-and-sixty-five miles for the whole of 2016, I began January with the aim of exceeding the figure by the end of December.

Just as I finished writing up my walks from November, 2016 draws to an end.

It’s time to review my final month’s mileage and to see how I faired in my first year of the #Walk1000Miles challenge.

Here we are, then. Just one month to go until the end of 2016.

It’s inevitable that I’ve already achieved my personal target of eight-hundred miles. But, with weekend of flooding across the local region and a sharp drop in temperatures to sub-zero; how much walking did I manage in the month that was November?

#Walk1000Miles – October 2016

Suddenly, we’re so very close to the end of 2016. I honestly feel as though I should only be summarising September in this post – in fact, the first thing I did was to type the wrong month in this post’s title!

Chew Stoke, North East Somerset.

I’ve already accepted that I’m not going to reach the one-thousand mark (at least, this year). However close I do get, I’m not going to try and push myself too hard in these final months, with the diminishing daylight hours.

#Walk1000Miles – August 2016

August arrived and then, seemed to depart so very suddenly. At first, it was as if the remnants of a typical summer had run away with it… More recently, temperatures have almost begun to rise again and we live in hope of what is often referred to as an Indian Summer.

I immediately feel as though this past month is going to be one in which I’ve ‘under-achieved’, when it comes to my overall mileage…

That’s in spite of recent attempts to ‘boost’ my tally over the weekend now behind us and, of course, the time I spent down in Cornwall.
