I decided to take part in the Walk 1,000 miles last year, because my workplace was 0.3miles from my home. I was not getting any exercise and it made me feel down, because I have always been used to walking lots. This year, I have continued it, because my current job is six miles away, so I had been getting the bus (although, I have been walking to and from work almost every day for the past three months).
Before the end of September, I reached 2,000 miles. I got a medal every 500 miles that I completed. I did get a medal for completing 1,000 miles last year, but I have misplaced it, due to sorting through my belongings ahead of moving to my own maisonette/flat. Keeping fit, healthy, and getting lots of exercise is really important to me – it always has been, during my adult life. I am impressed that I have been able to keep it up, without talking to/dating anyone to motivate me right now.
Although, I did manage 40.5 miles in one day, earlier this year, I haven't been doings as longer walks, recently, because I have been walking 6 miles in 1 hours and 30 minutes to and from work every day, unless it is pouring with rain, for three months now. I am trying to make this a part of my daily exercise routine. I am feeling so much healthier for it. I am so excited. I think I am the fittest I have ever been, and my Fitbit agrees. I actually have a fitness level of 45-49! Here is a picture of my medals:
I am
hoping to reach 2,500 miles before the end of the year, but sadly, they don't
have a medal for that. Rewards systems, like getting medals, are definitely a
motivator to me. I am currently at 2,340 miles. Stay healthy, happy and
hydrated!
