#walk1000miles 2019!

We challenged you to walk 1000 miles in a year, we promised you it would change your life – and everyone here can vouch for it…

ALL THE NAMES here volunteered their mileage in the challenge Facebook group to indefatigable (though now retired!) record-keeper Susan Miller. And while they represent only a small proportion of total completers of the challenge over 55,000 undertook, even the fraction here amounts to over THREE MILLION miles walked. Well done to everyone who did the challenge, whether you smashed the target or fell short. The only other competitor in the race was the OLD you; and if you’ve walked more than them, you’re feeling a shade better, your smile comes a little more readily, your sleeps are a little deeper, your memories are a little more colourful, your heartbeat’s taking longer strides, or you’re a shade more at peace with yourself or the world, you’ve WON AT #WALK1000MILES! Turn to the inside back cover for more on the 2019 challenge.
