10

Another milestone, literally, achieved. When I started seriously exercising last November, the most I could achieve was twice round the park (not much more than half a mile). But as I got fitter I extended the walk. For the last month I've been hovering just short of ten miles. The route I thought would take me over ten miles ended up just short, and every slight variation of it I tried also ended up just short. But today I added in a diversion I've only just discovered, and it was enough to push me over the ten miles. This will be my regular weekend walk for the next few weeks until I start looking for ways to push it up to 11. Meanwhile I'm about to book a new blood test, and I am confidently expecting that the results will show I am no longer prediabetic. But whatever the result the walking will continue, there's a bit more weight I want to lose first.

That's great progress.
