Wow. What a weekend!!!!
Three days of swing dance workshops, three days of social dancing, three days of circus taster classes ( I learnt my lesson from the last circus camp I did and went for the less energetic skills - stilt walking, walking globe and juggling. The bruising from last times trapeze and hula hoop was just too much!!!)
A day of rest now.
Total miles walked/ran/danced - 73. Well over my target of 50
Total hours spent dancing - at least 13!!!
Bruises gained in the last week from activities - eight.
Smile on my face? Permanent.0 -

It was a LONG ride. It also took me a while to type all that because my arms were a bit weak the day after the ride.
And congrats on meeting your goal.0 -
so a go-slow day today - 40 mins broken up into chunks - probably none of which would have been made without this challenge!
Usual 325 - under, swims skipped.
Stretch - 1200 mins mainly walking
30 mins a day min - 27 out of 30
Now I need to check back on my goals and see if I match all your successes! Great work folks!!

Mar 30: (6 miles - Indoor - 90 Mins) and (5.7 miles - Outdoor - 98 mins) = (150.0/100 March Miles Walked)
Congrats everybody and thanks for this thread0 -
Ok - so my goals were 800 usual, 3-600 stretch - ie 1400 mins total and 30 mins minimum of 28 days (health/parents willing)
And - despite a rocky month with my parents/health that has knocked the usual swimming off course ... I have passed both goals! Yay!!! And I even got the bike out...just for you ofcourse Steve.
I've found my minimum daily activity a really helpful goal. (Even on rough CFS days done something..) So my April challenge will certainly contain this...not sure what else......nice thing to ponder on...
Thanks everyone for the encouragement/ accountability.

I was hoping for 48 hours in Feb, but missed it by 7.5 hours. Too much travelling ... but then again, there's not such a thing as too much travelling.
Looking back at last March, I did 489.8 km (304.3 miles) = 38 hours 4 min of walking and cycling. I'd like to do at least that, and preferably up and over 500 km and 40 hours.
So to begin ...

This week 51.3 km. Again a seminar that tripped me in getting further. Slightly offset with an extra gym session with full body workout (lots of steps)
So I am totallying 171.94 so far this month, which means that I am actually getting past January and February much to my suprise
So surprised but I managed 269,66 km this month which is much more than the previous two months despite work induced changed to my schedule. It did help that this month I did my first long distance walk (20km) and that I joined the gym and started with full body workout classes. Never expected it to have this level of impact on my steps though.
So proud of myself0
