Day 3/85 – 1.7 million steps walk for Diabetes UK 👨🏻‍🦯💙

#BlindSteve – Land’s End to John O’ Groats Walk…

Today’s pond photo…

Hi Friends.

Heading out today wearing my pac-a-mac as it was raining all night, my legs were already hurting and tight. The first lap was the best for me as it was raining and very grey, the other 2 laps were just a killer and i had to stop a few times just to get some energy back and to tell myself off and keep going! I kept thinking about all of you guys out there cheering me on, and how i had to create this post once i’ve finished my walk, and i’d better have some photos and content for you guys to look at! 💪🏼 

Yay i’m here! 

After yesterday’s attempt at trying to get me in the photo so you didn’t think i wasn’t there, lol…I thought i’d try another and i think it’s worked! That can’t be a fluke, and you’d better watch out as i might start taking more photos of me going around the trail! 😲 My face is already hurting as i’m having to smile for camera, and it uses too many muscles and energy that i need for my legs! 🤣 

Stumbling round the trail like a zombie, i needed to look out for some ‘Skylines’ for today’s theme for Diabetes UK. As i’m always looking down i never really look up, but when i did i stopped (not sure why) and took the photo above. The super blurry lines and light just seemed to click for me, and i hope it’s taken a nice photo for you? 

Today’s Diabetes uk theme is…’skylines’

A photo on my daily trail walk around my local nature reserve. It was grey and most of the skyline is covered with trees. As ‘m registered blind i can only really walk on the same loop around this trail…So i keep going round and round, and there isn’t any building to get a Skyline, lol!  After my daily 3 hour walk and a few loops, i managed 21,000 steps! My legs are letting me know that’s quite a lot for me, lol!
