I have just found the thread and signed up (always a late adopter, me) and added myself to the list below. I am going to count from Jan 1st-Dec 31st. My walking total last year was not great - something to do with moving house and other excuses. So this will help me monitor more closely. Most of my walking is at weekends, especially with the dark evenings and mornings. But this may help push me out of the office at lunch for a step around the block - regular, no great distance, but better than sitting endlessly at my desk.

Thanks Andy and Louwoo. Not sure how I missed this thread till now - obviously not concentrating enough on the important things in life  :o   ;)


If only Slogger was doing the Spine Race this year, he'd be well on the way by the third week in Jan. (I think I'm right that he isn't doing it this year - unless he got tempted... 8) )

Have signed up today. The amount of walking I do with the dog should manage the 1000 ok

13 people have got going already :) I'm sure many of those would have been out anyway, but I wonder of a few have been motivated to get out there and make a start, when they otherwise might not have done so.


If that be the case then the Challenge has already done good things :)

I have probably done more than I would have done, lengthening the dog walks -and it turned out nice this afternoon after a very wet morning, so that was a bonus too.

We went out this morning...in that rain 😒, only because of this believe me.
It's made me realise that my waterproof...isn't very.
May need to invest in a new jacket.

Back to work tomorrow so, unless it is lashing it down, it will be shank's pony instead of the bus and tube :)
