April Miles Walked (jogged, ran, etc.)

I read somewhere that walking 75 minutes a week will add two years to your life. That is amazing considering the years we take off our lives by eating bad foods, consuming bad drinks, smoking, not exercising, etc. you get my point. Walking is so heart healthy and so beneficial without wear and tear on your body.
I plan on logging in my walks for the month of April (alternating between the elliptical and walking the dogs after work) and would love to have some company. My goal will be to walk at least the 75 minutes each week but I am going to try and also shoot for 25 miles for the month. It does not seem like much but it seems realistic for me and my schedule.
Oh, for those of you that have a Driod; I downloaded an app that tracks not only the miles you walk but food, routes, etc. It is called – mapmywalk. I have used this app in the past to track and I really like it and it syncs immediately to MFP. Check it out!
Those of you that currently run or are using a Couch to 5K type app and want to keep track of miles feel free to use this spreadsheet as well.
This spreadsheet will be open to all so you can edit, add whatever and whenever.
We start Tuesday, April 1st! Let’s do this rock stars – hit the pavement!!

I am in! I need some motivation to get moving. I did great in Jan and feb logging 40-45 miles a month. Then I got hit with bronchitis and in march I have logged only 9.5. I am finally close to 100% again so I am ready to get back in the swing of thing. I am setting my goal for April at 45 miles (either running, jogging, walking, or elliptical).0

Logged mine! managed to get in a nice 1.2 mile walk and a 2.2 mile run. It was absolutely gorgeous today!0

I'm in! The weather is only getting better. I can't wait to be able to simply head out the door and walk without having to put on 3 more layers.0

Nice work Dani!!Logged mine! managed to get in a nice 1.2 mile walk and a 2.2 mile run. It was absolutely gorgeous today!

Nice work so far ladies!:drinker:

Managed a lunch walk and a run today. I am exhausted! It feels great to get moving again :-D0

I have been walking 3x a day, about half a mile each time and so far this is working out great. My walks are roughly 15 minutes each - perfect for a mini break in my work day and at the end of the day it all adds up.

That is great. I get a 30 min walk at lunch time at work when it is nice out and I don't have meetings (at least 3x most weeks) and am hoping that on days that I don't run after work, I can get another 15-30 minute walk in the evening. I am trying to run 3x a week and will hopefully get the bike tuned up and ready to go soon :-D0 -
No one else wants to join in? It's spring! The weather's getting nice. Come on, other people must walk, right?0

I totally agree - walk, run, fly, just get your butts moving!!No one else wants to join in? It's spring! The weather's getting nice. Come on, other people must walk, right?

I am proud of you all for keeping the momentum going! We are well on our way to our goal. :drinker:

You are killing it kerricus! Great logging!! :drinker:0

Finally had a chance to update the sheet. I am starting to get back into the swing of things. I only had one really lazy day at my momS0
-
We are at the halfway mark; so proud if us for keeping it going! kerricus and Dani let's finish strong! :happy:

Finally updated my info, too. I about had a heart attack when I saw that the 75 miles remaining. For some reason, I was thinking it was telling me I had only done 75 miles and that didn't make sense to me. Too early in the morning for math.
Yesterday a front came through and it rained off and on all day. I'm pretty proud of myself for getting out there anyway and getting in my 6 miles. My dogs were no help--they hate the rain and thought staying in bed sounded better.0 -

Aw. Thanks! I made a commitment to myself of 2014 in 2014. I'm working towards that ultimate goal.0 -
I think I am going to try a new schedule to get running again. Running after work isn't working for me. I am too tired, to distracted and it throws off my whole night. So I am going to start getting up ~5/515, eat breakfast and run 6-6:30 ish and then go to work. I was getting up at 5 and running but without eating which is a giant no-no. So I am going to tweak it and make this work so I can get back in a routine.0

I wish I could do it in the mornings before work but my schedule is too busy and frankly I cannot get myself up in the 5 o'clock hour unless my place is on fire. Good luck Dani girl!I think I am going to try a new schedule to get running again. Running after work isn't working for me. I am too tired, to distracted and it throws off my whole night.

I am a bit behind for my goal but the weather is supposed to be gorgeous this weekend. Time to play catch up!0

I'm just learning to run. It's hard for me to take it slow. I'm trying to do every other day and stick to a mile this first week, then up it a little bit more every week.
I also want to start lifting, but I've been saying that for a year now. I just can't seem to get myself to the gym. Monday. I will do it Monday!
In the mean time, I keep on walking.0 -
Hi peeps!
As noted in the weigh in thread, things have been a bit hectic at mi casa since Thursday. I will add in my little bit of walking from this weekend and will finish strong. I am so close to meeting April's goal that it has me motivated to get er dun!! hee hee
We got three days to wrap this challenge up, we got this!!! So proud of your efforts for realz! :drinker:

I will probably be a little short since it is going to rain here most of the rest of the month here but I am going to try and at least get in a few more miles!.0
-
I just logged in my walks for today and happen to notice all of our remaining miles for the month and I squealed with excitement. We are totally so close to our goals! I am really proud of us ladies for sticking it out this month and warming our bodies up for some new challenges.
Let me know if you would like me to make a spreadsheet for May. I am down for another spring month of moving. :0)

Missed my goal by 3.9 miles. If it was freezing and raining cats and dogs I would go out and push out 4 miles but the weather and my mood are not cooperating. I am still very proud that I got moving more and I will just continue to improve in the months to come!0
