    What a month !! We broke the participation record with 136 people, we'll exceed the 2,000 mile mark some time today, one in four is lime green :bigsmile:

    Bulgaria is an amazing country. It's a mixture of very beautiful wild nature, thousands of abandoned or badly deteriorating soviet type apartment blocks and factories from the communist era, ultra-modern new buildings, friendly people, very pretty girls :love: , great food, a strange alphabet.

    We decided to walk from the city center to the hotel last night, lost the way somewhere and ended up walking 9K. I sport a huge blister on my right foot today that hurts like *kitten* :sad: , but it was absolutely worth it.

    Yay! @ss Movers are doing awesome this June! Hope it stays that way. Come on people! Give Dinos some work and let's all be in lime light green! :drinker: :tongue:

    @Dinos: It's always less painful when there's something beautiful to look at :wink: .... I'm sure those pretty girls makes you forget how painful your right foot is. :laugh:

    You're lucky Dinos to discover new countries like that. I do envy you, but I'm not a globetrotter, so I have to rely on books, tv and Internet. I'd rather stay safe at home and discover new countries by the Internet. But there are some places that I would like to go... someday...:glasses:

    This is so encourging, I am doing much better due to this challange. I cant run because I hurt my ankle, and yet I have some awesome miles. Thank you for this.

    Well, as I sit here on my lazy @$$ today and get further and further from lime green, :sad: I find out I have a new challenge - apparently my wife has planned a little mini-vacation for the family next week. A wonderful surprise to be sure, but I will not have my bike for 6 days - not sure how I'm going to get those miles in now. :ohwell: If I miss my goal this month, at least it will be because I spent quality time with the family. :happy:

    @jonny: Family always comes first, no matter what. Challenges are great, but we also need to live, just like everybody else. I'm sure you'll have a great time with your family next week, and I'm sure, considering that you don't like being left behind (:wink::laugh: ), that you will find a way to put some miles in for the challenge (running or biking).

    Seriously, just have fun and enjoy those moments with your family :flowerforyou:

    Finally got brave enough to run the dog walk which has some big hills. Did the 2.84 miles without walking. A great way to start the weekend!

    @speedy - you know me oh so well - i have spent the last 2 hours doing calculations on what it will take to get my biking miles in while skipping the 6 days :embarassed: :blushing: :tongue: And, not to worry - family DOES always come first and I will enjoy every minute of this trip. :happy:

    Since March my goal has been to ride my stationary bike 150 miles a month. Missed goal in March, but made goal in April (163 miles) and May (150.5 miles). I'm on schedule for June but will try to kick it up a few miles and go for 175. My goal for 2012 is 1500 miles on the stationary bike. If I stay on schedule, it shouldn't be a problem. Not brave enough to ride outdoors yet; my next goal.

    8.9 miles this week so far. I got in a car wreck today, so no exercising this weekend at least.

    1 mile on treadclimber equals 307 calories...I think that puts me to 0 miles on the week

    lime green is being 'on track' to make your goal (like you are by the way) :wink: .

    See Dinos spreadsheet right here. Dinos is a gem. He keeps track of everybody's progress and put the info in an spreadsheet.
