Welcome @jessicabartrop - 70 miles is an impressive target!!!!
Well, I'm back here after a mad weekend and few days. A weekend of dance classes in hot non-airconditioned rooms left me sweaty and achy, but the social dances in the evenings left me grinning from ear to ear. A great way to bump my mileage up, although SO annoyed with myself for forgetting to put my Fitbit on for the first 2 classes on Sunday - think of the steps I'd have had!!!
totals so far:
Cycling - 10/80 miles - yup - even after a weekend of calf-numbing dancing I still felt the urge to fit in a ten mile ride!!!
Walking - 35/50 miles
Swim - 100 laps
Lindy Hop class - 10/4 times
Total mileage target - 45/130 miles
allowed myself a rest yesterday evening, but then I had been working outside all day, including being stuck 45m up in the air in a cherry picker when the machine broke!!!
I'm liking the look of every one else's totals so far!!!0 -

This month has not been particularly brilliant in terms of exercise. An especially snowy cold winter + an especially heavy grad course = not nearly the amount of exercise I'd like to do.
Funny thing, I was actually looking at my kitchen the other morning and found myself wishing I had time to clean it! You know you're busy when ... !! Oh don't worry, it's not a complete pigsty ... I do toss dishes into the dishwasher every couple days, but that's been about the extent of it for the last few weeks.
Oh well, semester break is coming up in a couple weeks. Thank goodness!

A sneaky wander round the Downs on Wednesday whilst the weather was still nice, and two hours of dancing last night have kept my totals going up. My calves are aching a huge amount now and I'm a bit worried I've overdone it!! Still, supposed to be riding to the pub tonight, depending on this rain we now have so hopefully they'll survive through that!!
Happy Friday!!!

I actually find cleaning to be therapeutic too ... but these days it is uni > work > homework > sleep ... and repeat. With a tiny bit of cycling thrown in so I don't go completely crazy.
About the only time I have to do anything else is in the few minutes while waiting for my toast to pop up.
