Week one

Thursday - 1.6 miles
Friday - 1.81 miles
Sunday - 3.83 miles

Total this year so far - 10.96 miles for me. The bloke has done 11.35 miles as he did Saturday's walk without me (Hmph.)

Only another 373 miles to go!

Challenge!

Uh-oh... This is what happens when you have a bright idea... It grows of its own accord!

After doing some sums, it looks like I can expect to average at least 6 miles every working week, plus of course extra distance at weekends - so I've set myself a target of covering, with Spud, 384 miles this year, which is the distance of the Coast to Coast walk twice.

Now the bloke has decided he must match this, or beat it.... Apparently there is going to be a database and everything(!)

Spud says his feet hurt already...

We're back

Here is the Festive Spud, warming his bum on the oven as the turkey cooked:

This year, as a little experiment, I aim to keep track of how far Spud and I walk together. Although in fact this will only cover how far I walk - Spud will no doubt do at least double my mileage, given all the running about he does!

So - today we have travelled 1.02 miles, and yesterday we did 2.7-ish miles... a running total of 3.72 miles.

Hmmm. I think that might have gone up a bit by the end of the year!
