Today’s pond photo…
Hi Fitblitzers…
Wow, I should’ve called it ‘The Immobilising Tuesday’ as the sun was so bright I kept stopping lots of times. It’s not like just not being able to see where you’re going…It’s much worse but I don’t have a way of explaining how bad it is.
On the plus side, I had my INOV8 ultra pack pro with plenty of water so I could sip away whilst I was immobilised…And the super bright sun makes the photos look better, lol! 🤣
I also had the idea of taking all of the photos (except the pond photo) where I’d named the markers on my trail. I’ll keep stopping as the days, weeks and months roll on at your named markers and takes photos on and around the area so you can see how beautiful the place is! 😀
After yesterday’s 2 laps I was the best I’d ever felt and I thought I was starting to get better as I improved…But today’s 2 laps were the opposite, but it wasn’t my body but my mind that was smashed! Simply way too much concentration, glare and struggling that my brains gave up first. Disappointing as I’m trying to get my body in shape to attempt the 50km, I don’t want my brains to let me down! 🙏 😀
My lovely Wife Sarah gave me cuddles, coffee and a stupendous tuna stack sandwich when I arrived home…Can’t tell you how much I needed them! ❤️
Tomorrow it’s going to chuck it down with rain, so at least my brains should be ok, it will bring other dangers instead…But I love adapting to whatever tries to ruin my walks! 🤣
Now focus…
Let’s check if we’re in tune as it’s ‘Tuner Tuesday’. My D string (Deficit) is especially going well…I’ve lost 18 pounds so far, just 32 more to go! 💪🏼
EADGBE…🎸

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)

Your persevering heart, mind, and soul keep you going because you’re focused on the Lord and this challenge He’s set before you. Sarah is such a great co-sojourner with you. How are her eyes doing?
Amen Dayle! We are going for Sarah’s first appointment after her surgery on Friday 12th, so I should be able to update you with more about how it all went etc. Sarah’s eye is a lot less painful and only slightly irritating and itchy. She can see her crumbling cornea a lot better as it’s a big grey blob over her eye, so we think the lens is much clearer but we’ll know more on Friday, and obviously I’ll update you as soon as we know more. 🙏 😀
