    Usual 295 - under, swims skipped
    Stretch - 665 mins mainly walking
    30 mins a dey min - 19 out of 20

    40 mins on the bike and 25 or so walking. Some of which pushing mum uphill in her wheelchair - that certainly gets the heart rate up!

    Well done - totals are Looking good folks!

    I am broken. Every muscle aches, particularly my armpits. Why? because I put myself through a 10k 30+ obstacle race yesterday. It was hard, but I attempted every obstacle and managed all except monkey-bar type ones. and I jogged the entire way, which I never could have even considered prior to doing the c25k programme. The mud-slide was the BEST part!!! And this was after going out partying/dancing on Friday night (actually spent much of the night chatting rather than dancing!)

    so I might be taking a short rest this week.....

    totals so far -
    53.5 miles walking out of 50
    Stronglifts - 8 out of 10 times
    Lindy Hop - 9 out of 10 hours planned.

    Have to get myself back to fitness for Friday when an Easter weekend programme of Swing dance classes, evening dances and circus taster skills awaits. Can I take April off please? :D

    It's ok STEVE! I knew what you meant! Keeping busy is our earthly refuge. I pray a lot as well. My best praying time is while I walk. Living way out in the country, on a mountain there are many places of solitude and prayer ares.

    girlinahat I have too take a deep breath when I read your posts! lol...

    I am so thankful for the support here. Thankful too have some online buddies to share our progress etc with... You guys keep up the good work...

    I will NOT have computer access for a few days but I will keep up with my walking progress...PROMISE!

    I'm not a runner by any means!! I did a tough mudder a couple of years ago and it nearly broke me, at least this time I could actually jog some of it - it's reassuring to see how my fitness has improved (thanks no doubt to you guys)

    You should try a race - best to get a team of unfit people with good sense of humours together. You'll need their help to get over things, and aim to complete as a team - we stuck together all the way through, whereas last time there was a group of us at the back and the rest of the team (not me) way up in front!!

    Distances include cycling + walking
    March: 489.8 km (304.3 miles) = 38 hours 4 min
    April: 491.94 km (305.6 miles) = 43 hours 6 min
    May: 361.81 km (224.8 miles) = 35 hours 50 min
    June: 569.53 km (353.9 miles) = 41 hours 53 min
    July: 230.7 km (143.35 miles) = 32 hours 45 min
    Aug: 211.3 km (131.3 miles) = 28 hours 8 min
    Sep: 306.7 km (190.6 miles) = 35 hour 2 min
    Oct: 441.82 km (274.5 miles) = 47 hours 43 min
    Nov: 660.21 km (410.23 miles) = 60 hours 41 min
    Dec: 499.91 km (282.8 miles) = 54 hours 56 min
    Jan: 864.79 km (537.35 miles) = 65 hours 36 min
    Feb: 470.53 km (292.4 miles) = 40 hours 39 min
    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. :grin:
    March = Autumn, Easter, My Birthday Month, University + Work

    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 I had 67 km (41 miles) With today my best day with an 3 hour (fitbit says 18 km) walk to see my husband finish his half marathon.
    Not to bad a week with 53.64 km, this despite a seminar which meant not walking to work one day, but with a nice weekend walk in the forrest I made up for it. Hopefully I will keep it up this week as I again have a seminar (somehow they all fall in March this year)

    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
