So April has come and gone and I have never officially mentioned that I joined the CBWC Elisabeth has introduced a year ago. This was the third event. I missed the April 2024 event and loved the October walking club and immediately committed to be part in the April 2025 happening. Well, I had high motivations but then I got sick March 30th and was down for a week. However, I wanted to share about the walks I did – if I can recount them that is.
April 1 – not feeling well and napping a lot | 3,358 steps
April 2 – in bed with a fever | 2,821 steps
April 3 – in bed with a fever I guess the steps were made getting drinks and getting rid of them | 4,561 steps
April 4 – in bed with a fever | 2,710 steps
April 5 – mainly on the couch | 2,077 steps
April 6 – in bed and doing taxes | 2,560 steps

And this is all the walking I did for the Cool Bloggers Walking Club April. A total of 201,736 steps and 140.1 km. Yeah.
Did you have a day you consciously decided to not walk? How did the walking month go for you? What kind of animals have you seen while working? Did you walk the same path or did you venture from your normal ways?

I think there were two days when I did not go walk. I still got out and ran errands and so on, but didn’t go for an official walk. You walk a lot, especially those 15k and 11k steps days! The only days I manage that are when I am on vacation.
Running around on hospital grounds can quickly add up to more steps than usual. Also using public transport on those days.
If I am just in my home office and don’t consciously try to get in steps I can easily stay around 1,200 steps or so.
Well done! I thought I would join when I read about the idea last year, but I guess I missed it. April went by in a blur unfortunately.
That is how I felt last year in April. It was just a blur. Well, good thing there is October where Elisabeth most likely will host the next walking club.
Good job walking, Tobia! Especially after being sick. It can be difficult to get your motivation back, but you did it!
I enjoyed my walks too. I usually walk on the same dirt road every day. I walked in our barn a couple of days because of bad weather. And I even walked up and down our hallway one day because of so much snow outside!
Oh wow you still got snow. Crazy.
How big is your barn that you can use it as a gym. But I guess you can make some steps there.
I have been walking on the terrace a bit too when I was sick but I didn’t really track it.
Very happy that I have not lost my motivation to walk and work out after being sick.
Yay for walking in Germany! It is so special to me that people are joining in from other countries in the world and…you fit in a lot of steps! Gold stars, Tobia <3
Thank you Elisabeth for hosting. It’s such a fun thing to do together knowing we all walk together even when we are miles away.
