TRAINING UPDATE – NOVEMBER
? I’m one month in and the training is going well. For those that are interested, my goal for November was to walk a min of 6 miles a day, every day, and as much as possible I would walk with weight in my rucksack.
? Achieved: Average of 6.9 miles a day, so I’m happy with that. There were six days of “blue” (see below) where I didn’t achieve my goal. That won’t happen in December.
? Health: I’m so thankful to my hubby for dealing with my change of diet as he does all the cooking. I’ve cut out snacks in between meals and also not eaten red meat ?, or drank any alcohol for a month. I’m enjoying this new challenge. I was worried about my cholesterol levels after a visit to the opticians, but a test at the doctor confirmed that it’s all good and nothing to worry about.
?⚕️ – Opticians, Doctors and Dentist – all done. (A few bits less on the list!).
TARGETS FOR DECEMBER:-
1. 8 miles every day. (18k steps a day)
2. To add my tent and cook kit to my rucksack for extra weight. (It will get heavier each month)
3. Yoga once a week and learn a stretching routine off by heart.
4. Go to the gym on a Thursday evening for strength training.
5. Continue with healthy eating and also experiment with some dehydrated foods for the trail.
6. I’m now adding “mental health” to my training. I will continue with the daily meditation and also leave my phone in a different room at night. (The phone thing will be difficult for me!).
137 days to go!
