    I'm not walking today, other than in my normal daily routine. I've been having some leg, hip and back pain so I'm taking it easier today. I don't want to overdo it and then have to stop altogether. No, no, NO!! Not when I'm finally getting back on track with my exercise after about 4 years of NOT being on track!!

    Anyway, I got in my miles for this week already so I'm good. I was supposed to get up and do my run/walk program this morning but I opted out for today. I need to rest my hip and leg.

    Have a great day!

    It's so frustrating when you get into the routine of exercising and start to enjoy it and then something starts to hurt, isn't? I damaged something in my calf a few weeks ago and I'm slowly getting back up to where I was but I'm terrified it will happen again and I'll have to start over! You've done well this week to meet your target so soon, a day or two resting is a good idea though :flowerforyou:

    Finally a break in the rain... my walking/running is getting back on track. Have a lot to make up the next 3 days but, it is doable if I stay focused...

    3 miles done today so far (not in ticker yet) and hoping to get in another 3-5.

    My double shift of work have me behind but I'm hoping to get back on track. Only did 1 mile of walking yesterday. I plan to do some running and brisk walking today.

    Time is flying by. Sorry I haven't been on here yet. And I really don't have any steps to post. But I will get my feet moving this week I promise. Have company at the moment and not doing any extra walking in. I think by Monday things will settle down and I can move that ticker I made.

    Great job everyone on moving!!! Keep it up.

    Haven't been on here for a few days. Was having some computer problems. My family and I went for a 5.8 mile walk yesterday and a 3.5 mile walk today. So I definitely made my goal for the week. I did however do something to outside of my right foot so thank goodness I can rest until Monday. Gotta call the doctor first thing Monday morning because it really hurts. Hope it's nothing major.

    I hope all of you are doing great on your challenge.

    Awwww! No need for that, you're doing so well and it's not like you're doing no exercise at all - you burned LOADS of calories yesterday!

    Erica, fingers crossed it's nothing serious - rest up and take it easy.

    Do you wear a pedometer? You might find you're doing a fair distance just going about your life - most of mine is done on the treadmill but I wear a pedometer all day and take the distance reading as my daily total :wink:

    Hi Guys

    Sorry I havent logged in daily. I have been doing my miles but failed this weekend had to go to the osteopath with siatica. Been told to rest for a week until my next visit as exercise I am doing is agrivating things.

    I did manage 15.5 miles though. I noticed my start weigh wasnt recorded it was 202 on Sunday and now 200.

    Will keep you informed what I manage this week

    Bring on my forfeit but be gentle with me.

    Tammie
