    i'm still working on it--i love this challenge! but i don't always post up on the thread. i just update my ticker.

    but now i have a Q--how do you count exercise that isn't miles? i did an aerobics dvd today and obviously i don't count my steps, and i'm not getting a pedometer, so if you were me, would you figure it into the challenge or not?:ohwell:
    i'm ok with not. well, i'd like to, but still just as motivated to get the traditional miles.
    so let me know. thanks!

    I got a treadmill today:bigsmile: So, I did 2.5 on the elliptical and 4 on the treadmill for a total of 6.5. I'm going to try easing up on the elliptical and using the treadmill more because I'm in training for a 1/2 marathon in October and I want to be able to run most, if not all, of it.

    I don't count anything unless it's treadmill, elliptical, bike or road. But that's just me.

    Saturday I did a 3 mile run/walk and today I did a 4 mile run/walk. I felt really good about today because I was able to run 2.2 miles before I had to walk. That's the most I've been able to run at one time in a long time:bigsmile:

    I had a minor set back, ok to some it would be a major set back. I have some pretty serious back problems, but hey the dr said no treadmill, but stay on the elliptical wahoo. So I did 2 miles yesterday, plan on getting 5 in today.

    I don't think I could do that many, maybe like half that many lol. I only do walking every other day if that. it's more like 3 times a week. and I doubt I could do more than 3 miles a day... BUT I think that it's a good idea and I will definitely try the 1000 miles in 2010 if I remember- it's still far off lol.

    I forgot to post my 5 miles from Saturday. I'm not sure if I'm going to be doing anything tonight as I am exhausted and I think I might just go straight home from work. However, if dh wants to go for a walk, I will go with him.

    No work out for me Monday or Tuesday. I was just too exhausted and spent my day off yesterday just resting. I really needed that:smile: I will be going to the gym tonight and will check in later with my miles.

    Nope, never too late. Just don't expect a lot of conversation here. I think everyone just drops in to post mileage and they do their conversating elsewhere:bigsmile:
