Day 3 & 4 Walk All Over Cancer Challenge

Day 3 & 4 Walk All Over Cancer Challenge and I’ve almost found my rhythm. Actually I think I’m there, but once again I’ve failed to master the technology – my phone when flat this afternoon so failed to record the last part of my walk – “stupid is as stupid does”!

Yesterday, 3rd April, was a busy day with family visits and a trip to the football. For anyone who knows me Southampton F.C. have always been my team and, although life took me away from going in my 20’s and some of my 30’s, I’ve been going at least a handful of times a season for many years. The walk from where we park to the ground and back is usually about 8,000 steps so I walked to Mings for our Chinese to top up my numbers and ended Saturday just under the target on 9,711.

I only took one picture on Saturday – this one that tells a rather sad story. I understand HMV’s lease has run out and they can’t agree terms with their landlords. I have lots of memories of HMV in Southampton in three different locations – I wonder if there will be a fourth.

Day 3 & 4 Walk All Over Cancer Challenge and we come to Sunday and I’m determined to complete the days 10k and start reducing the shortfall from the first three days. The temperatures are rising and the snow is disappearing fast.

I went out in the morning and did over 6,000 steps and then in the afternoon only for my phone to fail me again so as I type this my total is 9,923 ~ I could go out again now my phone has charged but I won’t. Here are a few snaps from my day …

As you can see there were no polar bears in the paddling pool at Hangar Farm, no wolves roaming the parks or penguins in the stream, it looks like the cold snap is over.

As for my soundtrack on Day 3 & 4 Walk All Over Cancer Challenge … no albums, just conversation with friends on Saturday and the iPlayer on Sunday when (here come the Guilty Pleasure of your favourite Hampshire Wedding DJ) I heard what had been happening in Ambridge with The Archers Omnibus form Radio 4 in the morning and Johnny Walker’s Sounds of the 70’s in the afternoon.

Tomorrow the catch up begins!
