Sorry for the break in updates, I really don’t know where the time has flown!  I’ve made some nice progress since last time and I have made a big decision – more later.  Firstly though, here are the statistics to the end of June:

  • 1740km (1081 miles – more on this later!)
  • 41 Marathon distances
  • As far as Buckingham to Vilnius, Lithuania (as the crow flies)
  • 128727 calories
  • 86% of target distance

What is the significance of the distance and what is my big decision?

Well, the end of June marks the halfway point of the year and as I am now within sight of the goal of 2016km and over 1008 MILES, I thought, what if I could do it again and make it 2016 MILES?  So thats what I am going to now aim for – must be mad!

Having said I must be mad, I have to say that I have been blown away with the level of support and donations that I have received (please keep them coming) – it is heartening how generous people can be – so a big thank you, for your donations and kind words

This week, I will be performing my usual role, as a JCB driver at the British Grand Prix, which I am really looking forward to – so to help my mileage, I will be walking to my post, on the inside of Stowe Corner, each day, rather than taking the shuttle bus – every little helps.  I’ll let you know how it goes next time.

That’s it for now – happy walking, see you soon.
