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.
