I’m becoming a gym bunnie

I'm loving the gym

Can do all of my physio exercises in the 45mins we have at the moment at JSC or Mayflower Gym. Other days I do some weights, incline walking on the treadmill, some stretches. Manage to easily fill the session 💪

It’s official - I love walking

What started as a way to keep moving as knee bit sore from my REDJanuary has turned into a huge love for walking!!!

I am now A Walker 🤗

WEDMarch - how was it?

A very good question...

Feb step total = 625,100 which equals an average of 22,325 steps a day that month

March step total = 727,467 which equals an average of 23,467 steps a day

yes, there's still a few hours left of March but i'm not going to nip out for an hours walk so i doubt the average will go up that much between now and bedtime.

I'm utterly in love with walking now

I also need to start figuring out my Swashbuckler training plan (18/7/21 - half IM distance) plus the Hampshire Hilly Hundred bike ride 9/5/21 - 67miles. 

Very excited for my 2021 season xx

WEDMarch kinda going okay...

Well...

Week one was awesome

Week two not so great but smashed out 65,000 steps at the weekend in a desperate can I possibly do 80,000 steps in 2 days?? 😂😂😂😂

I can't.

But had a fabulous time trying 🎉

Walk Saturday morning

Walk with Shaz

Xobie overnight

Walk to A's

42k bike ride with Jenny 2:20

6k run with Mrs MackCooombe 48mins

WEDMarch may be a struggle to get to 25k steps a day and/or 175k steps a week.

1st-7th March - totally smashed out 25,000 steps everyday although Saturday only did 18k so did about 35k on Sunday - job done - at least 175,000 steps that week.

Today - 1st day back on campus (Uni of Southampton)

it's just gone 8pm and i'm at 12, 209 steps for today. 

i'll walk up and down the flat a bit so i can continue to listen to my awesome audio book - Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo but i doubt it'll be 23k odd steps!

I may have to rethink WEDMarch. 

Still WED but may need to adjust the amount of steps. Will see how this week goes...

WEDFeb - DONE

And just like that - WEDFeb is over.

20,000 fitbit steps every day (except 1st Feb when i hit snooze instead of jumping out of bed to walk before starting work)

Also remember with the fitbit - you sneeze and get 10 steps, wave and get a few more, cycle and get some more but it's all relative to me so i'm more than happy to say i've done 20,000 steps 27 days on the trot.

Am i lighter? maybe a couple of kilos

Am i fitter? i think i am... did not parkrun yesterday - 5k in 33.50 which i'm delighted with - also as i was chatting the whole way round with A i probably could have gone a bit quicker.

Plus been cycling a couple of time with Jenny and i'm feeling okay with my current bike fitness - not race fit but def feel as if i'm in a good place for when i start upping my training ready for the Swashbuckler middle distance race 18th July.

So i've decided to continue into March - so #WEDMarch but will up my step count to 25,000 

eeeeeeeeeeep.

Let's see how it goes. 

If i'm short one day i'm happy to do extra on another day, as long as each week i've done 175,000 steps.

WEDFeb#2 - smashed it!!!

Wow

20,000 steps a day? 

Smashed it today 💪

No snooze - 23mins walk before breakfast

20mins walk after lunch

100min walk after work

Will walk longer I think tomorrow morning

More 'walking rests' during work - back is so much better since walking during the work day

Will try a be out a little bit longer after lunch

Think 90mins is a good amount for after work. 

The key is to just keep doing it all month and then see how I feel.
