Roughly 8.8 Miles a day
Not bad for a short month
I hope your goals and objectives are on track my friends!
#myvirtualmission #2026Goals #theconquerorchallenges
It's time to explore the Loire Valley of France
#loirevalley #myvirtualmission #theconquerorchallenges
Finally catching up with my The Conqueror Challenges updates
Here is my pace for January, towards my 2,526 mile goal
11 Months and 2,324 miles to go
Let's do this!
#myvirtualmission #2026goal #theconquerorchallenges
413 Days to complete the Silk Road 3,000 Miles challenge
Not bad for someone who sets a 5 miles a day minimum for themselves
Not bad at all
Now, where should I virtually explore next?
#myvirtualmission #TheSilkRoad #theconquerorchallenges
As we get in to the first full week of 2026, a new postcard has arrived along my Silk Road 3,000 mile virtual challenge
I give you the city of Damascus
#myvirtualmission #TheSilkRoad #TheConquerorChallenges
All that walking during the AWS setup has paid off!
Another postcard along my Silk Road virtual challenge
#myvirtualmission #TheSilkRoad #theconquerorchallenges
It seems a missed this virtual postcard along my 3,000 mile Silk Road challenge
As I share this with you, it's cool to realize I am over 80% of the way along the course!
#myvirtualmission #thesilkroad #theconquerorchallenges
Only an average of 6.5 miles a day, but it is a decent pace as I get closer to reaching my 2,500 mile goal for the year
I hope you are making forward progress in your goals as well my friends
#myvirtualmission #2025goal #theconquerorchallenges
Maintaining my average of 7 miles a day I did pretty good
With the remaining miles left, I can average 5 miles a day and still finish be December 31st
May your challenges be ones you can meet with steady constant effort
#myvirtualmission #2025goals #theconquerorchallenges

So, an unusual update
According to my fitness challenge tracker, 2025, so far, can account for over 10% of the walking I have done since 2020 (the year I started doing these)
Wow!

Having finished the Desolation of Smaug, it is time to start the Battle of Five Armies
#myvirtualmission #TheBattleOfFiveArmies #theconquerorchallenges
The second of three virtual challenges representing the Hobbit trilogy was completed on a rather inauspicious day, so I waited to post completing it
Next up, the Battle of Five Armies
#myvirtualmission #thedesolationofsmaug #theconquerorchallenges
At approximately 8 miles a day on average, I continue towards my goal of 2,500 miles for the year
Not all goals are easy, but with intent and action, we can move towards making them reality
#myvirtualmission #2025challenge #theconquerorchallenges

I'm at almost one third of the distance for my Silk Road virtual challenge

My April report
Some solid movement, I even got a few miles ahead of where I should be for my yearly goal
That will help offset the slow days that will inevitably happen
Do the best you can my friends, move forward (Even if it seems small)
