I'm a bit disappointed with the PAD total for this month, but we have been distracted by other things!
We've been out and about today making the most of the glorious sunshine and getting the miles in! I reckon we should be able to finish tomorrow 😁 Today was our celebration walk as a family, so we went off to the seaside as usual and did some fossil hunting. Little miss got her medal in the post today as she's raised over £150, so she's chuffed. I think we're all looking forward to a rest in May.
At long last, I lost 2.5lb today 😁 I'm so pleased. I feel like my SW mojo is back now. Next week is going to be a nightmare so it will be interesting to see if it stays. I'm out two days with work, little jwil has his feet done on Tuesday then I need to take him back for dressing changes on Wed and Friday whilst juggling multiple meetings on Wednesday.

Thank you 😊 Hope you have a good week too.
Thank you 😊 Not very restful today as we'd done 3 miles by 8am!

Today little miss has hit her 100 miles! I'm so proud of her. She got her medal in the post yesterday as she's raised over £150 for Comic Relief, so she was wearing it with pride today. She got up early determined to smash it today and she has. I think we are all very ready for quiet May now. I have loads I want to be catching up on.
We were all done by lunchtime so took them to McDs for lunch. Then this afternoon was just chilling.
I'll be glad when this week is over, and am relieved that we are not having to try and squeeze in miles around everything else.

Aw well done little miss and all the jwil family.
Hopefully you can at least have a chill evening before smashing it this week 😁 🥂
