    Rode 6ish slow miles with a friend, then almost 19 fast and hard with the local girls bike group. We had almost 40 people show up for our weekly girls ride! It was an awesome sight seeing the town square full of bikes!

    *Edited for spelling error. Where's my coffee?!

    That would have been cool. Working nights I almost always ride solo. However, I met a guy Wednesday who is biking from the Pacific Ocean to Illinois. I biked a few miles with him. Interesting guy but I could never be caught conscious riding a recumbent. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Great Job!! :drinker: You're doing great this month even with all the May craziness there.

    Taxmom, thanks!! I've been trying to convince myself that before work exercise is the way to go, but I've always been an evening girl. Plus 5am is so very early!! And Crazy May is almost through thank goodness!! :tongue:

    Just back from my 3rd morning workout (before work) in a row! Gotta hit the shower and head to work but I'll get a spreadsheet update in sometime this morning...or maybe afternoon....busy,busy day!!! :smile:

    I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy any festivities you may have planned...and whether you agree with the military or not, thank a currently active military member or veteran for their service this weekend.

    Too bad my Fitbit doesn't track the biking miles... Biked 5k (speed interval) on hilly trails with my daughter this morning. 15 minutes of hard work!! My legs feels like jelly! I haven't rode my bike since... I don't know when (I had terrible knees back in the days :embarassed: ), but I took it out of the garage this morning, gave it a little bit of TLC, and went for a ride. Since I can barely run (waiting for a surgery:sad: :grumble: :explode: :angry: :mad: :devil: ), I don't really have a choice but to find something else. That's ok: biking on trails was my first love :blushing: :drinker: :bigsmile:

    So I'm adding a total of 13.3 miles for the last few days.

    4.0 miles. Did about a mile of running in intervals. Probably not a good idea. Did rescue turtle #3 in the past three weeks, little guy was trying to run across the road. Doubled back to the lake and left him where I've left the others. I've named them all Yertle.

    Thought about you when I saw this: http://mentalfloss.com/article/56805/16-fun-facts-about-tortoises

    Today is World Turtle Day!

    Hey kar328, are you sure it Isn't Yertle every time? Maybe he likes you. laugh laugh

    LOL, they're all different sizes, yesterday's was the smallest of the three. I've been taking pictures.

    3.3 mile walk - turtle free. Working the next three nights so getting in the last few miles may be a challenge. If not, then on Monday afternoon.

    Good luck with the garden Speedy. Mine is looking good so far, but I haven't checked it out this morning after the hail we had last night. :huh: And wait until later in the summer to decide if it is too small. Every spring I grumble about not having enough room:grumble: and each summer I grumble about too much room to weed and care for:grumble: :laugh: .

    @TaxMom:
    I know, but there's so much veggies that I would like to grow... The first think you know it's packed, and you're left with a lot of seeds! I guess I'll have to wait after my first harvest and then I'll be able to plan the other seeds... Let's hope that I'll be able to harvest that second harvest before the first frost...:ohwell: Summer is kinda short around here :huh: :sad:

    Have you heard of square foot gardening? I did it last year with a ton of success - was able to grow everything I wanted in not a lot of space. We live in a new rental house this year though with professional landscaping, so no garden for me. :sad: I will be spending a lot of money at farmers markets I suppose.

    We had pretty good success with container gardening last year. We had tomatoes, peppers, squash, and peas all grown in pots on the front porch.

    Long morning at the athletic club midst people getting themselves in shape for the Memorial weekend.
    Between the treadmill and the recumbent bike I put in 5.71 miles. No way to measure the mileage of the Aqua Fit class since we were merely walking, hopping, jumping-jacking, and sidestepping up and down the lanes, while my pedometer remained in the locker.

    May total so far = 77.88.

    I join in with others in thanking Dave and the "supervisors" for their time and effort tracking all of us @SS-movers.
    You guys are great!
    I too find this challenge to be inspiring me to greater efforts and higher goals.
    Have a good weekend everyone!

    Adding another 32 miles today. That's 487 out of 400. It was beautiful on Going to the Sun Road. It was so nice that when I got back to the bottom, I turned around and did it again. :happy: :happy:
