    14th - out and about on my bike, 2 x 35 mins. (Though prob not fast enough to get a big cal burn in!) I enjoyed it, and the hills (hillettes..) were all fine.

    30 mins minimum every day - 14 out of 14
    45 mins plus (but under 400 cals) - 6
    400 plus cal burn - 4

    Welcome Eddie. I was probably at my fittest when I cycled to work...great way to get to eat cake in my humble opinion...

    Well done everyone - we are putting the work in!

    Well done everyone - we are putting the work in!

    I sued to do it a couple of years back at a different job that was a more realistic 6-7 km each way (still uphill on the way in) I got pretty quick, towards the fall that year the beater i was riding blew a toire and rim on a pothole, needed brakes and a new front tire as well, put it to the side and then didn't ride to work when i started the new job because it was16km each way. Bought a good new bike (Kona Rove AL) and got serious. Day 5 of the commute today and it get's a little easier every day, I definitely worry less about what is served for lunch at work now and can feel the muscles getting stronger. Tonight will be the longest ride yet at about 27 km but i will be stopping on the way to pick something up.

    16th - a bit of walking the park, a bit of gardening, and a bit of walking to and from the train and to the Gherkin (a London skyscraper. ,fab views).... And then A LOT of champagne.... A friend who is 50 was celebrating in style!

    17th - to and from Meeting (bit like Church) on my bike. Then off buying my daughter her new bike... We just need to get the new bike rack sorted now (the last one tried to fall off on a main road, the one before that went through the rear windscreen - we are getting a tow bar version now....no way either of those 2 horrors are happening again!)

    30 mins minimum every day - 16 out of 17.
    45 mins plus (but under 400 cals) - 7
    400 plus cal burn - 4

    Half way through April folks! Wow time goes fast....

    Oh my! When I discovered this challenge days before April I was soooo excited and then truly inspired as I read other people's posts... I had grand plans. Typical of me - I made excuses - and there really shouldn't be excuses for finding time to be in motion. Yesterday, I completed a hilly 10k with friends - 16.10 min average walking pace. The event was two short in finisher medals. Yup, I was second to last - no medal for me - it's not about the medal, but it was eye opening. No more excuses! Getting myself in gear/motion. I WILL be posting tomorrow with more miles.

    6 miles done - 144 to go ;)

    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. :)
