    I'm in again! I seriously overestimated for April and was disappointed that I didn't reach my goal. I have tried to be more realistic and hope to have something achievable here. Keep walkin!

    Earlier, I looked out the window. The sun was shining, the wind was down (somewhat of a rarity here lately), and it was 55 degrees, so I went for my walk. We are quite a sight going down the road: Me with my standard black poodle Suzie Q, followed by my cats, Lucky and Bootsie. Does anyone else have cats that go on walks with them? Suzie and I entertained ourselves by watching a farmer fertilize his freshly plowed field while we walked. All in all, a lovely time was had by all!

    At our old apt when our cat Clawd was outdoors, she would walk my daughter to the bus stop and come to the pool with us :laugh:

    I'm in!

    I won't be using the ticker, but I'll check in every day. I do Leslie Sansone videos in the house, because I have no way to get out and walk, due to where I live and the fact that I have a toddler at home with me everyday. But I will log my minutes AND miles.

    Just a question for the group. Which do you rather count when walking time or miles and why? I am just curious I have done both in the past.

    Also, I did another 1.5miles this evening.

    Well, May is off to a good start. I have 6 miles in already. :bigsmile: The warmer weather makes a huge difference for me. :heart: it!

    In answer to the question, time or miles, I choose miles.

    Well, I decided to sign myself up for a 5k in July, so now I will I will be running daily. I'm going to double my goal from 30 miles to 60 miles instead. :wink:
