    wow - well done. Injury issues are still slowing me a bit but I am on plan for 1000, just not going to make the 1500 I originally hoped for.

    88.14 miles to add for two fitbit reports. I'm sure I am missing one but will have to make do with that as I can find it.

    That moves me up to 869.49 miles.

    Need 43.5 miles for each of the next 3 weeks to be on target.

    Hmmm I'll start making an effort tomorrow.
    Make £10 a Day Feb .....£75.... March... £65......April...£90.....May £20.....June £35.......July £60

    Rain...when is it going to stop. I've normally done a couple of miles by now, think it could be measured in yards this morning.

    My alarm went off at half 5.... opened my ears, listened the rain bouncing off the conservatory roof and went back sleep until 7 haha


    I think I am going to end up chewing into my lead this week at this rate. Looking at the forecast I may go Ikea this evening instead of a 2hr strole.... in fact if I did a few laps I could get a few miles in!!

    I must be daft then, I have just continued to walk the dog pretty much as normal. Although I have taken him out fewer times, we have covered about the same amount of distance.

    Yep, ended up there last night picking up a bed for my 4 year old! Sods law the rain stopped though and I missed out on a good evening to build up this weeks miles.


    Managed to avoid having meatballs, but did end up having a chippie!

    No wiz, you aren't. If it was the weekend I'd be out, but my dogs come to work and walk in the morning - thereby missing the rush hour - and walk at lunchtime. I'd end up wet, and so would they. Office is not geared up for wet walking, and Tbh, the dogs don't like it really.

    Chippie, now you tell me.

    Never actually had meatballs from IKEA!
