TRAINING UPDATE

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!).
