Day 11: Starting to struggle
Monday 11th May The miles I did on Friday and Saturday are starting to hit me now. I can't believe I still have 20 miles left to go. I'm at that bit where it seems impossible and I am so tired. My buddy, Ginny the Frenchie, is still leaping around and pelting down lanes though. I don't know what I feed her but she is impossible to wear out. <3

Day 4: Narrowly missed the rain!
Monday 4th May Another day, another walk! Still not hitting the miles but I'm working on it. :) Today it looked like it was going to pour down, and I forgot my coat, but luckily it didn't rain while I was out. Share
Day 3: Sorting my attitude out!
Sunday 3rd May I am being really hard on myself and I don't think that's healthy, haha! I managed another walk today, and am planning some longer ones in the park to catch up. I'm juggling multiple medical issues and the last month of the Uni year as well at the moment, so every mile counts and every mile is a win! Share
Day 2: Bit better today!
Saturday 2nd May I managed a longer walk today, but am definitely falling behind. Share
Day 1: Kick-off Day!
Friday 1st May Just got back from a walk! Started the challenge with 0.8 km / 50 km. The point was to start :) ShareThank you to my Sponsors
