Hi Fitblitzers. This Sunday is the big one… 50Km (31.07 miles), my longest walk ever…One continuous ultra around the trail that has become part of my story. If you had told me a few years ago that I’d be preparing for a 50km ultra as a registered blind man, I probably would have smiled politely… and quietly looked for the nearest coffee shop. But here we are. On Tuesday’s training walk, I…

walking stats… Screenshot yay i’m a 7 lapper!!  Hi Fitblitzers. I can’t believe I made it around 7 laps yesterday…I’m posting it today as I couldn’t move afterwards, and I’m still very delicate and suffering with DOMS! And of Course it was the perfect day to give thanks with a grateful heart! 🙏 🧡  pond photo… I generally kept my iPhone in my pocket as I was too focused on enduring this…

lap 1 Pond Photo… Hi Fitblitzers. As you may have guessed…It was chucking it down with rain when I left the house this morning, so the photos automatically qualified for the mono filter! 😀 I managed another 2 laps this morning in the rain. I had no dramas to report, mainly because there were not many people out again…They seem to hate getting soaked by the heavy rain, lol! 😀 But for me it’s…

Total Training miles: 251.73 Today’s pond photo… Hi Fitblitzers. Today was the day I tried my first ever base layer compression leggings. As I usually get hot very quickly I bought the Under Armour HeatGear compression leggings, which are for warmer days but should be good for me. They were fantastic (I’m going to recommend these to everyone) and made my walk faster, more stable and just…

Total Training Miles: 241.47 lap 1 Pond Photo… Hi Fitblitzers. Wow…When I ended my walking workout at my front door after walking 2 laps, I couldn’t believe it was exactly 6.00 miles. I think I’ve managed to create a very measured lap, great for my stats, lol! 🤣  As you may have guessed, there was a slight drizzle when I left the house this morning, so the photos automatically qualified for…

Total Training miles: 235.47 Today’s pond photo… Hi Fitblitzers. Well there was no drizzle today and it was another 10˚C, so I put on my light fleece, tracksuit bottoms and new Under Armor gloves and I was nice and toastie as I navigated around the trail. I’m happy to report there were no dramas or injuries again! 😀  Scripture snack… Colossians 1:10 “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord…

Total Training Miles: 220.11 Today’s Pond Photo… Hi Fitblitzers. I’m so thankful that there is not much to report from today’s walk. The trail was nice and quiet, I didn’t hurt or injure myself and I actually enjoyed myself out there as I slowed down and gave thanks for everything! 🙏 😀  My lovely Wife Sarah welcomed me home with a lovely fresh black coffee, a big hug and that amazing sunshine…

Total Training miles: 216.70 Today’s pond photo… Hi Fitblitzers. I had no idea it was drizzling until I left the house, I smiled as I knew the photos I’d take today would now have the mono filter! My goal today was to try out my light fleece and new light gloves as the weather is starting to get cooler…Well I was boiling and struggled to get around the trail, so still a bit warm for this…
