The Diabetes step challenge - Week 3 of 13

[DerbyshireLad]

Hi eveyone,

In my first post "A work in progress" I talked about discovering the 1,000,000 step challenge that is set between 1st of July to September 30th ... So 92 days to complete the challenge.

I am now three weeks in and this is my progress so far:

Steps w3 = 160,046 steps

Distance walked = 133 Km

Hours walked = 25 hours

Brisk walking = 1080 mins (18H)

Calories 9,611 kcal

I have now completed 501,044 steps since 1st July and still on target.

The niggles of last week (a tight left hamstring) by midweek had disappeared... so a pain free last 4 days to the week.

I visited the oldest church in Warwickshire, found an aqueduct on the canal and an ice cream shop in Henley... the queue was too long though on a warm Sunday. All of these I found walking around Henley in Arden to Wooton Wawen and back. Again I really enjoyed being out in the Midlands countryside.

My maps have had the dust wiped off of them and this coming weekend Ombersley / River Severn will be my stomping ground.

I hope all of you are enjoying having fun with your own challenges.

Awesome! (Shame about the ice cream, though 🤣🤣)

It sounds like you already earned one of our badges (little labels behind your name). Have a read at healthunlocked.com/active10... and if you post there to what achievement you are claiming, I can award you that badge! 👏👏👏

Hi

I thought it rude of me not to answer as to which achievement I was aiming for.... I only have one left (to my knowledge) and that is "Explorer" and I have viewed the better health in Discover but obviously not the correct trigger.

Rather you tell me what exactly I need to do and next week when I have a week off of work I'll do the necessary

If you let me know how many minutes you walk per day, at least 3 times per week, i can award you the right forum badge. Estimates are fine.

Does that make sense?

Well done!

Right if I just tell you about this week

Monday 24,858 4H03 23.2Km

Tuesday 16,056 2H38 14Km

Wednesday 22,407 3H35 20.6Km

Thursday 22,285 3H35 20.5Km

Friday. 27,297 4H27 22.5 Km

At the weekend I'll be out both days and these are circa 25,000 steps per day

This by the way will be less than last weeks walking but I work around 150,000 +/- 10,000 steps

You’re smashing all of our badges!!!! Well done!

I think the nearest we have is 120min per day, so I’ve awarded you that! You’ll see this beside your name! (We just don’t have 3h badges! 😅)
