    OK, leg starting to get better, so here we go:

    Mon 641 - running and walking (and doing something nasty to my calf!)
    Tues 698 - a few hours walking
    Wed 1264 - a good bit of walking, and a nice long swim.

    I usually do a couple of hours a day, and as I'm hefty, that normally adds up to around 1000 - sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. I'll catch up to you lot soon!

    Like Jerzee, I've been comparing MFP to other sites, but bucking the usual trend have found estimates elsewhere to be very similar or more. So hopefully my MFP estimates aren't too ridiculous. I got a wristwatch HRM the other day, but can't seem to make it work! :-)

    I've been away for most of this week (I thought the challenge would start on the 1st September) so I may be a bit behind this week... I have effectively 4 days to burn 5000 - a lot per day for a girl of 140lbs >_< Have strength training, combat and pump and a walk planned for tonight!
