It’s 10 days since I last blogged, and, while I would love to say I’ve been walking every day, actually, due to a combination of tired knee, horrible weather and work (yes, I’m still doing a bit), I’m falling behind the ultimate target. I was hoping to get the double marathon distance done this week…
Today has been a very good day! I finished the marathon distance of 26.2 miles for the sponsored walk for Prostate Cancer UK and so I’ve increased the target mileage for January to 52.4 miles.

A cold, still day today so I’ve been for a walk with Heather this morning, through Lytham Hall grounds, down Green Drive along the coastal path to Granny’s Bay and home. Just short of 6.5 miles. Up to 14.3 miles so far. I’ll keep on going through January and see how far I get. (Camino…

For those of you who don’t see my Facebook posts or aren’t part of various WhatsApp groups of which I’m a member, in January 2025 I’m taking on the Run the Month Marathon Edition for Prostate Cancer. Unfortunately, I won’t be running this, but I will be walking quite briskly and I’m aiming to do…
Had a nice, if short, walk this morning. The sun was shining, the tide was in, but it must have rained really hard in the night cos everywhere was very wet! The walk was 2.5 (flat) miles, taken at stroll pace. I don’t think my energy levels are improving, but, generally feeling OK. Had my…
