Tree Trapped Tuner Tuesday: iWalk 1.46 miles 👨🏻‍🦯

Hi Fitblitzers…

Today’s walk was supposed to be a big win, armed with my new VoiceVista navigation app, I hit the trail with one mission in mind: plant more ‘Donation Motivation Markers’ (9 donations so far! 😲 ), and make FitBlitz history with around 50. markers in total around the trail.

But the trail had other ideas…

There I was, moving at full speed, HOKA Speedgoats pounding the trail…When…WHAM! I walked straight into a fallen tree (see photo above). Being registered blind, by the time you feel the branches hit the front of you…It’s time for an emergency stop! But this wasn’t just any branch…This thing was a full-on fortress. Thankfully I stopped in time instead of flying into it and falling face first all over it in a heap! 😨

I snapped a photo and sent it to Sarah. Her reply?
“ARE YOU OK? It’s covering the whole trail, you’re not getting around that”.

Trail: 1. Steve: 0.

So yeah, I had to turn back and head home. Disappointed? You bet. But that’s the beauty of the FitBlitz adventure…Not every battle is won on the day. Sometimes the trail fights back. Sometimes you get knocked down…But don’t stay down! 💪🏼

I’m hoping the local nature reserve rangers swoop in and clear the beast out of the way, so by tomorrow it’ll be back to a normal walk, ready for me to drop those markers where they belong.

Now focus…

Let’s check if we’re in tune as it’s ‘Tuner Tuesday’. My D string (Deficit) is going well…I’ve lost 16 pounds so far, just 34 more to go! 💪🏼

Scripture snack…

Isaiah 40:31.
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint. (ESV)

Motivational Quote:..💪🏼 

“I don’t need to see the full trail to know it’s worth walking. Every step I take is a statement that the challenges I face won’t hold me back. Some days the climb feels endless…But that’s when faith kicks in, my fitness keeps me moving and my focus reminds me why I started…Faith, Fitness & Focus“. – Steve (me)

Let’s ‘FitBlitz’ 2025 Together! 💪🏼
