    a reasonable start to the month - an urban walk in Bristol (more standing than walking, looking at buildings), then yesterday I was up and down all those steps again at Tewkesbury Abbey. Nothing like sitting on a roof of an Abbey in the sunshine!!!

    And then I thought I'd take the bike to meet a friend for some Sea shantying. Which was a great idea, in jeans and a light coat, it was a nice evening......

    until it rained. Oh how it rained. nothing beats the feel of wet jeans against your thighs......

    walking miles - 10/60
    cycling miles - 7/40

    total miles - 17/100

    25 mins going briskly round Dulwich Park a couple of times followed by 2 (gentle) hours in the garden - weeding, putting in the vege seeds etc. Love spring. However, hamstrings complaining a bit now...

    30 mins minimum every day - 5 out of 5
    45 mins plus (but under 400 cals) - 2
    400 plus cal burn - 2

    Oh by the way, you guys who are posting miles walked - is that 'map' miles or pedometer ones?

    ( The one on my i-phone is way overly generous for distance I think.. So I don't like to use it for this personally, though I still look at the step and distance count. Maybe another time I will do a step challenge...)

    I use my fitbit for walking miles, although I have never calibrated it. However I don't record the first mile it shows, as I'd rather record what I have achieved over and above a very lazy day. So whilst it's probably not that accurate, I don't over-record.

    cycling miles last night were google maps miles, otherwise I have a tomtom multisport which syncs and calibrates via strava.

    I record kilometres using Google Maps and/or my bicycle computer.

    I'll map out a route so I've got a pretty good idea of the distance ... I've got a bicycle computer and my husband has his + whatever he's using for Strava. At the end of the ride, all the numbers are usually pretty close to the same.

    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
    March: 917.73 km (570.2 miles) = 66 hours 13 min

    April probably won't be as ambitious as March was because I have three major uni assignments due before the middle of the month and won't be as active. But if I could do what I did last April, that would be nice. :)
