OK – So here’s the deal – I’m not really into running at the moment, but I’m determined to lose a bit of weight and need some motivation to do it. So I’ve set myself a goal of walking 1000 miles by Christmas, with the aim of raising £10,000 miles for the charity Thyroid UK. I’m a little restricted with the time I can devote to this (about an hour or so 5 days a week) so I’ll be doing it in the gym next door on a treadmill. To make it a little more challenging I’ll be setting the incline at 20%, that’s the equivalent of walking up a 1 in 5 hill. At Blue Horizon we constantly see the uphill struggle that that patients with thyroid disease have in chasing a diagnosis and treatment.

Coping with Thyroid Disease can be an uphill struggle. I’ll be walking 1000 miles before Christmas on a 20% incline to raise money for Thyroid UK

Thank you

UPDATE – I’ve just been doing some calculations, and it look like i’ll have to walk/run (when I get fitter) about 8 miles per workday to get the 1,000 miles in before Christmas. As I get fitter, i’ll take the challenge outdoors and bring the office dogs Poppy and Hugo.
