#Walk1000Miles : How’s everyone doing?

Just checking in with everyone on the #Walk1000Miles challenge.

Some of you may have already finished! Some of you are coming really close! And some of you might just have to extend the duration into the next year!

All is ok in my book. As someone suggested, the medal at the end is not awarded for crossing the line at the finale, but for the achievement all along the way!

As many of you know, my challenge was rather a #Walk/Row/Run1000Miles, as walking for that length was not realistic (yet).

But my apps tell me that taking all my distance based activities together, I doubled my distance this year compared to last year. To be fair, a big proportion was the increase in my indoor rowing distances, but I also increased my walking distance and slightly seemed to have decreased my running distance. (Decrease of running distances is probably due two 2 Covid stints, 1 Calf strain and the usual slow build-ups after each)

My walking still could be better, but I’m also chuffed on how this challenge has motivated me to walk more, and work out more. And I reached my 1000 Miles a week ago and received this beauty of a medal! (see pic)

So I think this is all good in my book.

So how is everyone else doing? How have you found this challenge, so far!?

And if you have already made it across the 1000 Mile finish line, then HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!!

What an achievement. We’ll be announcing forum badges soon, and there will sure be a “Walked1000Mile” badge ready to be requested for all our walking champions!

Happy walking, everyone!

oh, and I should note that the embossed Latin proverb at the bottom:

fortis sanus felix sapiens

translates to:

strong, healthy, happy, wise

And I certainly feel stronger and healthier, I’m pretty happy with this achievement and hoping to be also a little wiser. 😇🕺🏼💃🏽🩵💜❤️🥾🥾

Very well done. Congratulations 🎉. You did amazing with all the different activities you were doing and you have had a few injuries to contend with as well. Love your medal . I see you took notes as well , that’s what I had to do to keep tally of miles. 🎉🎉👏👏

Yes, although my fitness diary just calculates with the duration. Distances I track through my apps (Runkeeper directly into the 1000Mike app).

But I really love having a paper journal for my fitness journey. The pages tell if my iOS and downs and it is really rewarding seeing the progress.

We’ll done on completing! 👏🏽 I’ve just done a quick tally-up & I’ve got 5.6 miles to go. I generally walk 3 miles a day with my dog so should complete tomorrow 🤞🏽

I've been falling off the update bandwagon! So, here's finally another update: My goal for 2023 was to walk & run 4000 km - and I am well on track for that 🥳 I am about 98% there, which means I have only a bit over 3 km per day to run or walk until 31 December 2023. That should be doable!

Oh, cool! I thought those badges are for next year 🤣 I might still wait until I've achieved the full 4000 km 😎

Yeah, I thought we could use a preview and prebadging at the end if 2023 but I didn'twant to make a stand-alone 2023 post. So I plan to leave the post up through 2024 depending how much traffic it gets.

4kk sounds awesome!!!!
