‘An old friend I reconnected with challenged me'

‘I broke up with my wife nearly two years ago, turned into a couch potato and became severely depressed. But last September I reconnected with a good friend – and 1000 miles challenger – called Louise.

‘She started by giving me a well deserved kick up the rear end, culminating in her challenging me to do #walk1000miles. I’ve gone from just wanting to do three miles a day to doing six or more most days. I feel better. I’ve started losing weight and I’ve very much got my get-up-andgo back. So Louise,

I thank you!’
