March the Month 13,037 steps - Day 23
I split my walk today for 3 reasons, I was expecting 3 deliveries one of which had an early window, fitting the walk in between downpours, and my leg was giving me gyp. I have found a bite on my shin (just where there is minimal skin or fat) at the centre of the problem, so I know what it is. 1 delivery arrived in the time window (well done PO), one arrived early (with a text message saying they would wait if I wasn't ready, well done Asda). The other didn't arrive at all and I have spend half the evening chasing what happened (poor performance DHL). They are claiming it was assigned to the wrong driver, but as their website didn't show it as having progressed that far I am not sure that was what happened, and as they made no attempt to contact me when the error occurred they are still well in my bad books.
All pictures this month are being taken within the borough boundaries of Luton, I am aiming to not include anything man-made in the images (my definition being something that has been through a manufacturing process) to give a different view of the town. Although distant hills not in the borough may appear, the main subject will always be within the borough.
Today's walks were 11,133 steps, 6.8 m with a climb of 1,916ft, and a total so far of 13,037 steps.
Not bad for someone with a dicky ticker, dodgy knees and dodgier prostate. The aim is to clock up in excess of 11,000 steps, 1 for every man who dies every year from Prostate Cancer in the UK. I was diagnosed with this cancer early in the lock down.
Prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK and each year more than 11,000 men die from the disease. The impact of the coronavirus crisis means that life-saving research is at risk. Men have never needed your support more to protect research into better tests and treatments to stop prostate cancer being a killer.
I know that due to Covid things are tough for many people out there (my own income is down by 50%), but if you can spare something please do support me.
