While I had planned to get out for my daily walk today, unfortunately that has been hampered by both my housekeeping and that family decided today (Sunday) was the perfect day to be blowing up BOTH of my phones for the usual catch ups.
However I am sure that I will be able to catch on my missing 5kms from today- I'll have to 😁 🤪

DAY 2 of the 50km challenge. A rather disappointing one today.
I did a great walk this morning, knocking out 10KM, but I didn't record it so I had to get out this afternoon to record minimum 5km.
Which lead to ANOTHER disaster because I decided on a preselected path from the Strava app (which I'm using to record my KMs). However! Whilst the app said it was 5km, after completing my fist lap it wasn't even 2km- AWWWW GUMMON! So away I was for a second lap. I also decided to get as much recorded as possible to get the kms up.

So at the end of day 2 I have 19.4km, or 38.9% of my 50km.

The 50km challenge has OFFICIALLY begun today and I have already completed 9.7km of that- I will NOT be round any up to ...

The 50km challenge has OFFICIALLY begun today and I have already completed 9.7km of that- I will NOT be round any up to the nearest kilometer and will keep an accurate record of everything, to keep the integrity of the challenge (even the the website rounded it up to 10km today).

It wasn't actually as bad as I thought it might be, and because I recorded the hours during work I'm quite surprised to how much walking I actually do during work, especially for a friday-which is one of my easier days of work.

Kia ora whanau, and welcome to my page. I want to do a quick intro and reason behind this.
Heya I'm Ren, 47 y.o male from Kirikiriroa/ Hamilton. I decide to take on this challenge of doing the "walk 50k this May" for breast cancer for some personal reasons; both my ex-wife and a sister in law have had breast cancer scares so I wanted to make a contribution towards research and potential treatment and cure of breast cancer. Also to increase my health and fitness. This is not something I'm taking very lightly.

During this journey I will be making plenty of progress reports, blogs, updates, and even though I don't like them there will likely be a weekly vlog or two to share my updates and progress with my daily and weekly KMs achieved.
It's a 50km challenge, which while a daunting feat I'm excited and looking forward to tackling, and include donators and followers as part of this challenge and journey.
I'm also happy to answer questions, etc, along the way too.
