May 2015 MOVE Challenge

jesiann2014

YEP it is a move challenge. You can walk, run, jog, bike, fly if you dare lol....
It is SPRING....temps are getting better for most....a time of freshness and re-birth...A time to take care of WONDERFUL YOU.... (*)

We had such a great group in April. I am proud to be part of this group. Would love everyone to reach at least 100 miles in at least ONE particular exercise BUT it is not necessary. You can still combine them....THE GOAL IS TOO MOVE! The GOAL is to live a longer, healthier life.....The GOAL is too become the person you want too be...

join me?

Ok so up to this line in the post, I've copied and pasted, with a few corrections, from the challenge @jeanniewes posted for April. She is out of internet service area for a limited time and asked me to get the month of May started for her. Want to welcome all. I've been doing this challenge with @jeanniewes for several months now and we always have a great time encouraging one another and getting our move on. So strap those trail blazing shoes on and join us for May!

There isn't a 'group' per say. Just this thread that you can update daily or weekly or whenever suits you.

See you in May!!!

Yes please, I am in again! I finished April walking 110 miles - sounds great when you lump it all together. We have 2 bank holidays this month so hopefully I can make the most of them and get some extra walking in. And with some luck the weather should pick up, be a little warmer and dry!

Good luck everyone

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I FOUND YOU! LOL.... As I said in the April thread..YOU GUYS DID GREAT! THANK YOU jesiann for starting this for me...I hope EVERYONE hangs with us..

It was a great 9 days. I ended with 134.50 Miles for april.
Camping in a State park helped that! lol....

MY GOAL for MAY is 120 Miles...I hope I can do that at home. I find I can do more when I am camping but probably because my chores are less...lol

TODAY before we came home we did walk.....

Hi everyone This is my first attempt at joining a group like this.

I have been dieting for some time and exercising twice a week with no real success, however I upped my exercise a few weeks ago and this seems
to have given the old metabolism a kick up the backside, so this group will definitely help.

My target for May will be 200 miles running and walking combined.

So far 3 miles running and 18 miles cycling - total 21 miles.

5/1 - 25.02 cycling
5/3 - 15.87 cycling

So ... my goal is to move 500 km or as close to it as possible again. Little bit more challenging now as this is a busy month with work and university ... plus it is winter, and darkness falls on my way home from work now.

WELCOME too the Newbies.....The goal is too decide on YOUR GOAL and try too reach it. As I have said many times before ..we may not always reach completely but we give it our best try...

May 3rd I did get in a couple of miles but that was in shops while waiting on my dog who ate pieces of a really thick paper towel and had too have IV fluids. We were there most of the day. AFter Xrays they did let her come home. I have too feed her a tablespoon of special food every 2 hours and she takes a daily pill. I do plan too get a walk some time today...

As of MAY 3RD I have in 11 walking miles.....

jenncalicollins617

May 1- 3miles

May 3- 3.5miles
May 4- 1.5miles

Well my goodness!!! Look at all you guys! I'm so stoked to see all the new Milers. A special welcome to each one of you!! We just have a grand ole time here on Mama Jeannie's Thread. And a huge "Hello and WELCOME BACK" to you, Jeannie! We sure missed you and are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your vacation.

A quick shout out to the April finishers. Everyone did so great. Let's keep it up for this month. I'm sticking with my 100 mile goal. That in addition to my lifting routine works very well for me and keeps me MOVING!!

Ok, so I'm a bit late in logging for May but here are my catch-up numbers:

10.47 total miles

I'm back!!!! Was away for 4 days, so didn't start exercising yet. Today, I will go for a nice long walk, and hopefully on Wednesday, I will get the full approval from doctor to be able to go back to full steam ahead on exercise. But for now, I will continue to do what I can. Be back later to log in my walk!!!!

I'm a few days late but I'm going to give it a try. My goal will be 100 miles combined walking/elliptical. I was sick all weekend but did 2.5 miles this morning.
