Walk In Her Shoes – Day 7
Well, this is it – the end of a journey that started back in January when I signed up to do CARE Australia’s Walk In Her Shoes Challenge for the second year. Since then I’ve been gradually increasing my daily step goal from 13,000 in January to 25,000 for...
CARE Australia’s Walk In Her Shoes Challenge Day 6
Today was the day I’d decided to bust my 12.45 km walking record and aim for 15 km. I expected it would take less than 3 hours and be about 20,00 steps. I left the house just after 5.30 – a full half hour after I go out on...
CARE Australia’s Walk In Her Shoes Challenge Day 5
This was a fairly uneventful day. As I dragged myself out of bed at stupid o’clock this morning, all I could think of was that this was the last day I’d have to get up quite this early. 5.5 km walk this morning, the morning school run, a walk...
CARE Walk in her shoes challenge: Day 4
My feet hurt! The blisters I thought had settled down from a few weeks ago are rubbing again and I don’t like it. I might try some different shoes for the next day or so. I’m now more than half way through the challenge and have met my step...
Walk in her shoes challenge: Day 3
It’s Day 3 of CARE Australia’s Walk In Her Shoes Challenge. I managed another 6 km walk in under an hour this morning. I have no idea of what a decent pace is, but it takes a fair bit of effort for me to maintain a pace of just...
Walk In Her Shoes Challenge: Day 2
Day 2 of the Walk In Her Shoes challenge and the weather forecast wasn’t looking promising for getting out and walking a lot. It was still fine in the morning though, so I wanted to do as much as I could before the rain arrived. On this morning’s walk...
Week in review 9-15 March/Walk in her shoes update
This was the last week of my training for CARE Australia’s Walk In Her Shoes Challenge. Tomorrow (16 March) is the start of the challenge, and I’ll be aiming to do 25,000 steps a day every day for the next week. The training hasn’t been part of the challenge....
Walk in Her Shoes Challenge Update – 2 weeks to go
This week I’m combining my weekly review (23 February – 1 March) with my Walk In Her Shoes Challenge update, because it was such an uneventful week except for that. Last week’s goals: 19,000 steps per day – 7/7 days, weekly total: 153,137 steps, average: 21,877 steps per day...
Walk in Her Shoes – 4 weeks to go
Now I have my new phone, I can sync my Fitbit to my phone (the app doesn’t have the sync feature on an iPhone 4) and the Runkeeper app works properly so I can track my walks. It also has this cool feature where you can set it to...
