    Interesting - another 30 mins excercise min fail today... Not sure if I simply overdid it today (walk to school, orchestra, lunch with friend, missed full blown nap before taking daughter to docs, full blown CHronic Fatigue crash at 4.30 recover 7 when guests arrive) or due to cycle ride (and treatment) and late nap yesterday. Or both... Sorry not trying to bore you all with my health issues - just keeping a record helps me look back and reflect and so manage my illness better...

    Might have managed to get myself out to complete/exceed the 30 mins another day as the energy came back - but it was raining, and Frankly I was too full of pudding and plonk to care! Fun eve.

    30 mins daily min: 20 out of 22

    Don't beat yourself up about it @gentlygently we all have bad days. But keep on going - I've read that gentle exercise is one of the best things for chronic fatigue. Have you tried qigong? A friend of mine made ENORMOUS improvements with it.

    I've had a busy week, two trips to Head Office, a trip to Tewkesbury, and an evening out at the races where I won the princely sum of £3.67. Missed my dance classes this week, partly because last week I found myself dancing in the first class with LOTS of very beginners and it was too hard work. Reassuring to know that at last I am improving!!

    I'm back to running, I did about 3 miles on Friday and 4 miles Saturday. I did consecutive days to see whether I could do a 4 mile run on fatigued legs, and turns out I can, so there's no excuse for not signing up to the 10k race in the weeks time. None of those miles were run continuously though, I'm walking the last part of each mile, but since I don't have time to train properly that's probably the best plan to make sure I can do it without getting injured.

    Cocktails and super rich foods last night have made me laze around today, although I'm restless as anything.

    Walk/run miles so far this month: 61/60 miles so hit goal there!!
    Cycling: 10.5/40
    Dancing: 5/10 hours

    Total miles 71.5/100

    ok found this halfway through the month i will set my cycling goal at 550km (I started Biking to work on the 7th after picking up a new bike the 6th. At this point i have done 132 km and shortly will head out for a 16km ride home. leaving just over 400 km to do before month end (320 of those KM will come from the work Commute that I do 4 out of 5 days) so that leaves me 80 extra km to find time for by the end of April (spread over 5 weekend days that's only 16 per day half what i ride on a work day)

    Great work everyone, as of the this mornings ride to work I am at 248.4 km , it looks like it's going to be a beautiful week so should be easy to rack up the km barring any catastrophes. about to leave for the 16km trek home (may drag it out a bit at the bottom and take a spin by the lake which is good for an extra 8 k or so)
    So warm this morning i just wore a track jacket and a thin long sleeve running shirt.


    As of this morning's Ride in to work (in the rain) I am at 373.85 km this month. I will be giving a break on saturday definitely as I am walking a half Marathon Sunday and want a rest day in there . Friday i will ride to the event registration and pick up some extra kms though (and My bib race shirt ...) the rest of this week i will play by ear (I took Thursday Friday off the commute because i needed the car to visit vendors and I had a lot of back pain which i want to avoid for Sunday ) I have 127km to make my goal for the month (work commute alone if i do it every day will be 141.3 so I should make it barring fatigue or needing the car at work

    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. :)

    I'm a bit behind where I wanted to be ... behind last April ... but this month has been hectic! I've hardly had a second to think let alone cycle or walk. Plus, my husband had an accident at work and cracked his ribs, so he hasn't been able to get out as much either.
