Walk 1000 miles

We have a new project.  We are going to take part in the 'Walk 1000 miles challenge'.


This is a challenge set up by ‘Country Walking Magazine’.  The challenge is: Walk 1000 miles in 2015.  .............Well, we’ve just heard about the challenge (& have already missed out on five and a half months) so we’re going to set our own challenge.............................. which is; walk 1000 miles by midnight on 31st December 2015.

Obviously as an energetic little collie, I’ll easily be able to achieve this, as it works out at about 5 miles a day for the rest of the year.  Ann’s pretty sure she’ll be able to achieve this too, as long as work and going on holiday without me don’t get in the way.

We’re going to record the number of miles we’ve walked each day on twitter (just before we go to bed) and we’ll also put up one photo of somewhere that we’ve walked on twitter.  If anyone wants to follow us, you can find us at @ArmstrongAnny

Ann’s bought a hi tech pedometer which is now synced with her laptop and phone so that she can track all our walks.  Sometimes she amazes herself at how techie she has become!!!

Unfortunately when I went on my morning walk the pedometer wasn’t up and running so we’ve only been recording our walking since midday.  And also; even though we set out to do a 6 mile walk this afternoon, we only actually walked 3.2 miles because the heavens opened and it chucked it down with rain so we got soaked through to our underwear???  OK Ann did.  Obviously as a dog I don’t wear underwear!!!

Anyway, that’s our challenge for the rest of the year.  And now it’s stopped raining, Ann says we might have to go out for an extra walk this evening. 

..........................Only 996.8 miles to walk before the end of 2015!!!!!
