    So have we decided where we are going to go next? I may need someone else to help with at least counting the miles since I cant seem to get online half the time. Thats what happens when 4 people use the same connection. Grrrrrr. That and all the other Optimum users out there.

    How about when we post we add to the previous total for you? eg I walked 6.9 miles yesterday. If you walked 4 miles, you would then post 6.9 miles plus my 4 miles = 10.9 miles, the next person might post 10.9 miles plus their 14 miles = 24.9 miles. That way we have a running total all the time.

    As to where next, shall we continue walking south? How far is Philadelphia?

    HAHAHAHA Are you sure you wanna go to Philly and not Hershey? bwahahahahaha. Not that far, less than 100 miles. How about Baltimore MD. And going south sounds amazing since winter seems to want to CLING to the north! It snowed just the other day! SNOW! And it was APRIL 30th! :grumble: :noway:

    :drinker: Keeping a running total seems like a Good Plan.

    :noway: Although if we go to Hershey you all had better HIDE the Chocolate Covered Peanuts!! I apparently have a Newly Discovered Weakness for them!! If they are in the House I can't stay out of them! Even when it is a Client's House and I usually have No Problem staying out of their Sweet Treats!!

    5.07 miles for me, so we are 14.05 miles in total.

    LOL, my fitbit trainer (an automated programme) tells me I barely did enough yesterday at just over 5 miles. Very hard to convince a machine to cut me some slack.

    :smile: Stormy here too, but I got several short walks in between the Showers. The cat even came out and walked to the store with us this evening -- though he had to keep detouring around water puddles, LOL!!

    :flowerforyou: 4.52 miles today = 27.31 Miles

    This morning I had just finished with the Treadmill and my Friend Genie came in to the Gym this morning. She likes to talk and she was going to walk on the Treadmill for 20 minutes. I slowed my Treadmill down to 2 mph (from 3.8 mph) and walked Backwards on it while we talked. We only get to see each other Once or Twice a week so it is nice to chat. I did get a few Strange Looks but no one said anything, LOL!!

    Great image Jeannie LOL

    Weather man is promising sun tomorrow (just in time for the weekend), so hope to get some fresh air and exercise on Saturday (Sunday is Mothers Day).

    4.9 miles for me yesterday = 32.31 miles down. I have it as 187 miles in total, so we are 17% of the way there :-)

    32.31 plus your 3.54 plus my 4.33 = 40.18 miles in total.

    (The 187 miles is the distance we are walking)

    I did the Color Run this year (I assume they are the same thing) and had great fun. Looked a mess by the end by we got some great photos, I'll add one to my profile. Have a great time

    well done. Have been sick with a bad cold so no walks the past few days and maybe no for a couple more as I am still stuffed up, but will see how I go.

    How was your Color Me Rad?

    :heart: I hope you get well quick!! Being Stuffed Up is Yukky!!

    :drinker: The Color Me Rad was AWESOME!! We finished in 58 Minutes - 6 Minutes Faster than Sister's Personnal Best, and only 4 Minutes Slower than My Average for a 5K!! We sort of Tricked her in to Promising to do it again next year even though she has said all along that this was a "Once in a Lifetime" thing, just to prove that she could Finish it.

    :flowerforyou: 49.7 Miles + 1.98 Mile Walk & 7.05 Miles on a Recumbent Bike = 58.73 Miles
