Hello everyone. I've signed up for the Dementia UK October Dog Walking Challenge, which involves walking 100k in October with your furry besties 🐕 it's free to sign up and you get a free t-shirt for you and a free bandana for your four-legged buddy!

If you're interested, you can find out more about the challenge and how to set up your fundraiser here: dementiauk.org/get-involved...

I'm really looking forward to some gorgeous autumn walks, even better if they help a good cause! 😊👍 🐕🍁🍂🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

oh that sounds so good. Unluckily I’m without dog. But would love to see some pics of how you both are faring throughout the challenge!

I’m getting slowly out there again, after a week’s illness, so taking it as slow.

Glad you're feeling better!

We've been doing long walks but I keep forgetting to track them! 😩 At this rate I'm never going to hit my target 🙈🐾

you know … km count even if you don’t track them with Strava/Runkeeper/NRC 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe you’ve already hit your target with those long dog walks?

Haha if it's not recorded, it doesn't exist! 😉 It's more of a keeping track of how many k's I've done to keep my sponsors up to date and letting everyone know when I've hit my target 👍😊 another one yesterday that I forgot. I only tracked about half of the walk 🙈 I'm going to have to start the walks with a run! 🤣
