Susie said that she is so pleased at taking part that she took me on another 50 minute walk today and added in 20 woodland steps for extra fun (which really showed me how unfit I am😱). I also swam 20 lengths:D How far have we travelled so far?

Susie is really getting into the spirit of things, she can be our lucky mascot 🙂 Well done on keeping up with her tough schedule and on the swimming too! We've done 34k so far!
 
3 mile run and 15 minutes with Gay Gasper this morning 🙂 Was thinking fo running furthe but decided to run a shorter route faster instead 🙂
 
Got blown along for a mile and a half yesterday, then fought the wind for a mile and a half on the way back. 😱 At least it was a good work out. 🙂
 
Here are a few pedometer tallies to add to the total 🙂

Thursday: 7164
Friday: 6046
Saturday: 6593
Sunday: 5777

That's what I have been doing, to escape the heat. Although having said that it has been a bit chilly early on here os hard to time it right! Yes, I am going soft in my old age... 😉

Sounds like a lovely run Helen - any pictures of the route?
 
5k on treadmill yesterday + 1 hr tennis, 1 hr gym today + 1.5 hour tennis.
Hope this helps a bit.
 
Gym the other day: 1 km rowing, 3 km cycling and other exercises for 15 mins
 
2 hours advanced (very cardio) tennis for me today!
 
I went for a 30 min walk this morning then after lunch did a brisk 45mins walk.
 
My peddy thingy says 3 miles yesterday, in spite of the gales which were still blowing.

Susie said that she is honoured to be the lucky mascot. The photo of her on my Avatar is her having a rest after all of the physical activity for the challenge!!!

Great stuff Mark! We're not far off our first stopover I think, will post an update on distance travelled tomorrow. Rest day for me today to let all the micro-fractures in my leg bones repair themselves! 😱 😉
