I didn't sign up with them for 2016, no need really. I want a new challenge for next year, will still keep up with the walking, but want to be a bit more flexible. Might do a bit of cycling as well. Don't want to get bored. Any ideas?


By the way, I've recently had a free health check at the doctors. All good, low BMI, blood pressure, and cholesterol.  I have a 7% chance of a heart attack in the next ten years, the average being 10% for someone of my age and weight. The nurse said, whatever you are doing, carry on doing it. The walking is definitely helping.

Yes, I am signing up for next year's challenge too, although  I don't know how I will find the time to improve on this year's total  :)

I agree with Fit Old Bird, I'm looking for a different challenge for next year.
When I got past the 1000 miles I found I started cycling much more, and had forgotten how much I enjoyed it.    But I reckon the idea of a challenge is a good one, It definitely got me out and about on days when I would normally have stuck by the stove, and at the end of the year I had to buy a new pair of walking trousers a size smaller (any excuse) and I want them to fit me at the end of next year.
So I am trying to come up with something that balances walking and cycling.  1000 miles of each is, I feel, unrealistic.  Any ideas gratefully received.

Into the final month O0
It's been nice getting out the last couple of mornings with everything white with frost and the blue winter sky. Also a good walk round the waterfalls near Pontneddfechan at the weekend with my older daughter. Super weather, scenery and wildlife spotting, watching the dippers on the river and even a kingfisher, first one I've seen for ages and daughters first ever sighting, happy days! :)


Enjoy every sandwich
