    My goal this year is really easy; I've signed up to a 24-hour hike in September, to raise money for charity.

    So I need to be able to hike in Scotland (not quite the highlands, but not the lowlands either) for 24 hours, with minimal breaks, without dying.

    I have permanent bone damage in one ankle and a dodgy achilles in the other. Clearly NOTHING CAN GO WRONG HERE.

    Current status: on Sunday I hiked 18 miles in 7 hours, including two strenuous uphills, with less than an hour's break for lunch. The next day my right hamstring and achilles were a bit tight and sore, but they've eased up now. I'll probably take this Sunday off (the forecast is rain ;) ) and then do the same hike again the Sunday after.

    Ideally I soon need to start hiking two days in a row, but I'm loath to give up my gym-and-coffee on Saturday mornings. I'm currently hoping that the lighter evenings will soon give me enough time to get home, repack, and get to a hiking trail in time to fit in a reasonable hike in the late afternoon.

    What a great goal you have! We’re happy to have you here as such an inspiration!

    I took a planned rest day yesterday after my dodgy ankle had started to ache a little.

    This morning I was woken up by said ankle throbbing at 4am. Nothing in my body seems to work properly anymore.

    Clearly the lesson to be learned from this is ‘rest is fatal’, right? *goes for a pleasant lunchtme walk*
