92 days of Summer Day 61

I haven't written in a couple days, its been all go here and I've not had the energy to write! 

So Phil is unwell, he's now on antibiotics but its been a hard 6 weeks in some ways, a weeks holiday Joseph being ill twice and Philip is still ill, so in some ways I'm looking forward to school starting to get back into it (and its not that far away now!)

So yes, a lot more emphasis on me has just meant I've been tired and not able to find a second to think and write!

And again, I signed up to race at your own pace again, again completing the 150 mile challenge, this I completed this time last week so I probably could have done the 200 miles one but I didn't want to push myself too much! You can sign up here
I'm doing something different next month for it, I decided I'm going to put in for the 25 miles one, but instead of walking running them, so I'll continue walking but the medal will be for running... hopefully! Its good motivation!


As for the steps I'll record them now!

Motivation!

I am one of those people who need motivation! As if doing it for charity isn't enough of a motivation I really did want to challenge myself with the walking in July.

I have a friend who a while back, recommended virtual races, where you can walk/run and set yourself a challenge to receive a medal and a certificate  (the compression top was optional). So added this as extra motivation. You can set the amount you want to do 25 miles. 50 miles 75, 100,125,150 200 (I think that's what they were) and as well its not frowned upon to walk it instead of running the rule is run or walk.

Today in the post these came! And its strange when you have a physical reminder of an achievement (though there's nothing wrong with virtual ones I love it when Fitbit pops up telling me what I've achieved) but there's something physical and tangible about this!

I put in for August too so watch this space....

I've never been athletic, in any way, I'm good at swimming I was good at trampolining and I'm good at walking at my own pace (the thing is I have asthma so this can change on a day to day bases), but I've never got a medal for anything, plenty of certificates... Its like a badge of honour! Yes In July I did a little over 150 miles in total but that was the goal I set myself (it was 175 miles, I maybe could have pushed it to 200 but this was over 5 miles every single day! I think I did well doing this!)

As for the rest of the day.... well you know how Joseph was sick yesterday? Well Philip was sick today. Funny thing was, I saw to Joseph, Phil didn't have a lot of contact?! But by the way I'm not complaining I don't want to get sick so.... Today was hard, because Joseph was just screaming and in some kind of evil toddler mood! I've never seen this kid like it! 

So you can imagine I didn't get much sleep the night before I didn't get much sleep last night so although I have done some steps its no where near where it normally is, but thats okay I'm not obsessing because next week we're on holiday Phil is off work... I'm sure we'll walk tons!
