    5/8: Week2 Day1 C25K: 2.6 miles
    5/9: "Long" ride: 17.8 miles
    5/10: Week2 Day1 C25K: 2.5 miles

    My long ride Saturday was interrupted by a storm front moving in quicker than expected. Ended up riding above 90% Max Heart rate for 20 minutes to get to cover, so in the end it was more anaebolic than aerobic.

    May 2015 Total to Date: 71.7 miles
    Walk/Run: 12.5 mi. (Target: 25 mi.)
    Cycling: 59.2 mi. (Target: 200 mi.)

    Only activity at the weekend was housework but I lost count of how many times I ran up and down the stairs.

    Cycled to work this morning, and then home again via my sister in laws to drop off her birthday present, making a total of 25.8 miles.

    May to date - 65.3 miles and 135 minutes zumba

    Still doing great guys! YES YOU ARE! :)

    Today the girls and I got in a 3.0 Mile walk. Husband and I had too go too town so between all the errands and Mall shopping etc I got in another 3.0 Miles....The only down fall with shopping walking is that you speed up and slow down as you shop. Not a strenuous exercise but steps never the less...

    Total thus far May 11th...............50.5 Walking miles...

    jesiann I do get a lot done in the warmer months. I dont have a garden per say. I have ONE Tomato plant, ONE Red Sweet Pepper Plant and ONE Eggplant. I mostly do flowers. I prune/trim a lot. We have a chain link fence around the yard so I trim back things that like too grow inside from the outside! lol...I finally got all the leaves raked from around my flowers and bushes today.. We had a few low areas in our yard so we are hauling dirt and trying too level out. Today I walked the girls, raked up leaves from around plants , Got husband up for breakfast and shoveled and leveled . Prepared lunch, washed up the dishes, Rested for 30 minutes, went out and shoveled and leveled more dirt...lol..... Yard work may not produce FAST steps but trust me I WORK HARD! I am one tired puppy this evening....YES Warm weather keeps me BUSY.. <3 .....You know i gotta make up for the two months I was mostly DOWN with my neck and shoulder...lol

    thank you and agreed!!! I'm going to use it to make myself work harder and push more!! (although am aching a fair bit today, scaffolding is heavy and not something I regularly shift being fairly office-bound!)

    Great results so far peoples, nearly halfway through May and some of us seem to be nearing a 100 mile target!!
