I have to say that I have struggled doing these challenges since going back to school after the summer holidays. long hours at work and too exhausted to do anything in the evenings. I am sure I will get back into them soon enough.

Since going back to work after the summer holidays, I have been really exhausted and on two occasions I have failed to hit the 10000 step target. Again very frustrating but can't be helped. Today I did a recce walk for next weekends D of E qualifying expedition in the New Forest, UK.

This weekend was perfect to hit the forget step count. I was doing a D of E training weekend. It was nearly 1000 steps to the toilets on the campsite. I did spend most of my day driving the school's minibus so impressed with the number of steps.

I am not going to lie but so far this month it has been a challenge to get to the target of 10000 steps a day. I have had to jog on the spot to reach my target every night so far.

Well today is the last day and I will have to make the effort to achieve the targets of 10000 steps today to achieve 31 days. I did stop at my daughter's on the way home from the campsite yesterday and took my grand daughter to the park and the walking to and fro unloading my xar enabled me to hit the target.
