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 – Training Update
It’s now less than 3 weeks to the start of the Walk in Her Shoes Challenge on 16 March. I’ve signed up for the “Gold” level, which is 20,000 steps a day – the same as I signed up for last year. Before I signed up I’d set myself...
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...
12 of 12 February 2015
Thursday 12 February 2015 was a work day and a school day. The routine was a bit different today. 1 of 12 – When I woke up to go for a walk, I had a guest waiting for me in the kitchen. 2 of 12 – I’m using my...
Week in review – 2-8 February 2015
Week Goals: 16,000 steps per day – achieved every day. Gold star for me! What we did: This week was almost back to normal. School went back on Wednesday, and you already know how I felt about that. Juniordwarf was with Slabs on Monday and I went to work....
Week in Review: 26 January – 1 February 2015
This week started off as part of a five-day weekend. I had a day of leave on Friday, a weekend, a public holiday on Monday and then another day off on Tuesday. On Monday Juniordwarf and I filled in for a presenter who’s taking some time off, at our...
Week in Review: 19-25 January 2014
Monday was the last day of our holiday. We took a short walk through the forest at the back of the hotel before we left. The rest of the day we spent driving home and feeling a bit frustrated that we were stuck in the car on the day...
Trip Day 3 (Part 2): Dove Lake
So we made it to Dove Lake, along with every other tourist in the park and, even though it was windy, we decided we’d attempt the Dove Lake Circuit. It’s recommended that you do the circuit clockwise. Unlike other walks we’ve done recently, we saw this sign so decided...
Trip Day 3 (Part 1): Cradle Mountain
This morning the weather looked better, but that was just an illusion, and by the time we’d had breakfast, it was looking pretty ordinary. Juniordwarf was thrilled with the all-you-can-eat buffet style breakfast. He said to Slabs, ‘you didn’t tell me about this!’ and Slabs had replied that he’d...
Holiday Day 2 (Part 2): Cradle Mountain
If you know anything about Tasmania, you’ll probably have heard of Cradle Mountain. It’s one of our most well-known landmarks and is a hugely popular area for visitors. I’d not been there since I was in high school (so you know, about 12 years ago), when our family spent...
