Marathon - Done it

[SlimmingEagle]

Happy to say I completed 53,034 steps today - 42.4km or 26.5 miles - 1 Marathon

Took me 8 hours 14 mins. The route included climbing Leith Hill (Felt like climbing Everest!)

Wow! SlimmingEagle that is one big walk. You must feel well pleased with yourself. Leaves me feeling agog - o to be younger again!

[SlimmingEagle in reply to Ceals]

Thanks. I too wish I were younger but alas, I am 58

Outstanding! Hope you had a good soak and stretch afterwards. What's your next challenge?

30 miles somewhere flat! A coastal route Apr 2nd - 10hrs

I'm in Sydney and it's hard to find a flat walk. Lots of hills for me which I guess is a good thing. Walking has become my replacement for running, so much easier on the joints. Like you, my friends and I knock out long distances. Always feels good when you've finished! Just got to stay away from the wine and crisps 😁

[SlimmingEagle in reply to jnazs]

I know what you mean. I make sure my route passes no pubs! You can only pass so many before falling victim and being enticed inside.

Fabulous, well done SlimmingEagle ! Leith Hill should only be tackled in the downward direction (in my opinion) so kudos to you for reaching the top!

Knowing Leith Hill from many childhood outings, I am in awe! Well done.

[SlimmingEagle in reply to tortoisegirl]

I used to run up it 40 years ago! Such were the days.

Three cheers 💪👏!

It might be another year before I can reach that mileage in one session🙃.

Well done!😀
