Day 9/85 – 1.7 million steps walk for Diabetes UK πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ¦―πŸ’™

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

Today’s pond photo…

Hi Friends.

Awww who thought this was a good idea?!! It’s so easy whilst i was talking about it and it didn’t seem that far until you actually do it everyday! I can believe it’s day 9 as my shins, calves and feet are not happy to say the least. 

It was nice and cloudy today but not raining, so my eyes were not sizzling in the bright sunshine. I also forgot to take many photos for you today as i was concentrating on trying to stop my legs and feet from pain, as i have to try and keep them as safe as i can because i have a few more days to go, lol! 🀣 

On the plus side, when i woke up this morning and checked my phone…I had earned the 150,000 steps badge. I like these little motivators as they help get me out of bed and on to the trail, especially when i don’t want to to go! πŸ˜€ 

Today’s Diabetes uk theme is…’purple’

Today’s theme is ‘Purple’ but i haven’t got a purple guitar or effects pedal…Yet, lol. But Sarah reminded me of the purple t-shirts we wore at the ‘Tough Mudder’ i did for World cancer Research charity…

β€œA true Tough Mudder legend. Everest will challenge participants to run up a quarter pipe to reach the summit. Can’t do it alone? Not to worry – teammates are encouraged to hang over the top to pull their new friends up and over”.

 I knew this was going to be more difficult for me as i needed to try it and get hands on before i could calculate what exactly i needed to do. Adie & Ashley explained the process….But i knew i just had to do it before i would really know….As running at a half pipe wall thingy when blind is going to be interesting! πŸ˜€
