Emma’s walking challenge blog – week 2

May 6, 2021

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is still enjoying getting active and been getting out.

I won’t lie this week has been tough! The week before I was out and about a bit more but this week has been more challenging. I worked late a few nights, so I was trying to walk as much when I came home and more at work. At times I got up and just walked up and down the office, people were probably thinking “what is she doing?”.

At the weekend I was very active and managed to get out a big walk as well as bootcamp on Saturday. Although, on Sunday I didn’t want to move so much as I hurt all over from bootcamp. There’s only so much tyre flipping one 5-foot 2 girl can do!

I have been updated on how you are all doing, and I am so impressed with you all. There are 1620 of us amongst 377 teams and altogether we’ve walked 279,848,988 steps and 191,917 kilometres! How amazing is that? The Endoscopy Dolls, The Hot Steppers and The Walking Aids have already reached Rome and you guys are making me feel lazy!

Every week I’ll update you on how everyone is doing and don’t beat yourself up if you haven’t got out as much as you want. Try and have fun with it and I’ll see you all next week!
