So, somehow I've reached that point in the challenge where I'm definitely measuring things by how long there is left to go, rather than counting how much I've done. The summer has flown by, and for one reason or another (but mainly moving house), I haven't done as much walking as I'd have liked. As evidenced by the lack of post, the challenge has fallen by the wayside somewhat.
But I'm still on track. With 38 weeks down, and 14 to go, I'm on 765 miles. That means I need a very achievable 16.7 miles per week to come in at 1000.
Moving house has other implications as well though, as well as making me far too busy for a few weeks to think about anything else. I'm no longer within walking distance of my office, which means no more walking home for an easy 2.5 miles. And in fact, some days I'm even missing the short distance to the station, because of perhaps this challenge's biggest rival yet...
Yep, that's right. Healthy, sustainable and cheap though it is, cycling to work isn't helping me notch up those walking miles!
The summer hasn't been all bad on the walking front though. There was a pretty memorable climb up Ben Nevis, which left me (and most of the rest of my family) with very stiff legs for the next couple of days!

Now I just need to keep the momentum going for a few more weeks...!!
