Wayfaring Wednesday: 8.57 mile walk πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ¦―πŸ’ͺ🏼

Today’s pond photo…

Hi Fitblitzers.

Oh how quickly we forget…I can’t believe I’ve ever walked for over 8 miles before, lol! I’m so glad i’m typing this as it means i’m alive and i’ve made the walk. 

I managed 3 laps (8.57 miles) and my legs are feeling it, but i need to keep going as my next charity fundraising challenge for Diabetes UK (starts 1st July 2024) is 10 miles for 85 consecutive days! 😨 Today’s walk at least had some good parts as it’s a longer walk, so i need to take out my fave chocolate flapjacks to fuel me towards the end…Bonus! πŸ’ͺ🏼 

Helter-Skelter audio beacon…

As i had 2 and a half hours to walk today i thought i’d take a few more photos for you to look at, because at least you need to see how beautiful it is around here, lol. 🀣 I also took the photo above of my ‘Helter-Skelter audio beacon’ which i named after the section of track on the Laguna Seca circuit. It’s not quite as dangerous but for this blindman that has to navigate the s bend without flying into the trees and bushes is always a laugh! πŸ’ͺ🏼 

As i can label the audio beacons and place them anywhere i like, i’ve actually labelled a couple after people i’ve lost or know…Then as it calls out the name i take a minute to think of that person and the memories they bring up, it’s such a unusual yet lovely daily reminder! πŸ™ πŸ˜€

      Awww Dayle i’m going to need plenty of prayers on this challenge…Please! πŸ™ πŸ˜€

      Quite a few people (the challenge has a facebook group) have pulled out already with broken ankles, toes and bad strains from just doing the training walks for this challenge, but with all of your prayers, encouragements and loud cheering that i can hear all the way over here, lol…I know i’m going to give it my all! πŸ’ͺ🏼 πŸ˜€
