I think time of year and depth of fatigue (once again) are both slowing me right down.

I've had one day in the last 7 where I have done less than 3000 steps due to total lack of energy 🥺and then there was another day when it did nothing but rain really hard and blow a hoolie for 24 hours and outside my 9 hour desk-bound working day I just couldn't be bothered to spend 90 minutes on the treadmill making my steps up. Long Covid and vaccine damage has a lot to answer for 🙄

Still, it is what it is (my favourite saying!) and there's no point in moaning about it, so I am just doing a pretty fair impersonation of a three-toed sloth and doing what I can, when I can 🦥😊

To be honest, I'm so thankful for this challenge as it gives me a kick in the arse to get up and do something..................I need to think about what next when it's finished!

You got this! And you will get your super-mojo back hopefully soon! For now, I can still see your mojo, so we’ll done!

(I’m also contemplating still the next medal and challenge. I seem to be slow not only as a walker, or a runner, but also as a contemplator 😉)

Thank you 🙏 I'm trying, but thus far failing miserably, to have a walk on the treadmill this evening having only done 2,800 steps so far today - puring rain, lassitude and work to blame!
