TAA 046: Five take-aways from the January Walking Challenge
TAA 046: Five take-aways from the January Walking Challenge
Learning from my January Walking Challenge.
The idea was simple. I walked each and every day during the month of January. I started gently with one kilometre on January 1st. Two kilometre on January 2nd. Three on January 3rd and so on.

One kilometre at a time. So January 17th I walked fifteen kilometres. And so on. So by the end of the month I was back to a leisurely one kilometre.
January is over. The challenge is completed. And here is what I learned.
