October 2013 Move Your *kitten* Challenge

10/8 - 2.44 mi

Total 16.76 out of goal of 75 miles for October.

Trying for 3 mi tonight.

10/7 - .99 miles walked
10/8 - 4.15 miles walked

That .01 mile would have driven me crazy and I would have finished it. LOL.

@TEAMAMELIA - RIIIIIIIGHT?!? :bigsmile: I'm just a tad too OCD to be able to sleep at night if I did that! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

@LINDAGTAYLOR - But please don't take offense....totally not making fun of you. It's us. We're* the crazy ones. lol YOU ARE DOING GREAT!! :flowerforyou:

Rode 10.11 miles on the stationary bike today.


36.87/100

4 Miles, 45 minutes today. A little slow, but I didn't struggle.

@superfox:
Who cares about the speed. 4 miles is 4 miles, no matter the speed. You did absolutely great! :glasses:
Be proud of yourself my friend :drinker:

@ Dave - Love the pick about running past the house three times. :-) I've done it. I have to confess, I'm not big on partial miles anyway. I always round my miles. Today was 17.42 so I rounded down to 17. Last week I had a ride of 12.94 so I rounded up to 13. If you believe the scientific law of averages and you know how to round scientifically, it should all even out and be accurate. So far when I pull up the months miles on the bike computer it's pretty dang close. If I didn't do it that way, that 12.94 would have driven me nuts. I would have turned circles in the driveway until it said 13.0. I hate being OCD.

Only up to a total of 14.5. I better get off my butt! I've been slacking FOR SURE!

lol While I understand and accept scientific rounding, personally I just can't do it for myself. :blushing: As a mildly(?) OCD engineer, I like things in my world precise at any point in time. I can't wait for things to "even out" eventually. :laugh: Thankfully I don't have to run/walk/bike in full 'mile' increments as I do allow myself to finish with 'tenths'. But they have to be even, complete 'tenths'. NO hundreths. :noway:

I'm thankful that the door I return to at work when I go out for midday walks doesn't have any windows because then everyone would be able to see me walking circles in the parking lot until I hit that next round tenth. My walks involve laps on a path around a pond rather than a straight out & back otherwise I could just easily adjust the turn-around point so I'd land back at work just right.

Not sure how I came to be like this. I'm generally a well-adjusted person. *twitch twitch* I usually blame the Marine Corps though. For making us measure our folded t-shirts and underwear to be displayed for barracks locker inspections. They had to be exactly *just so*...folded exactly 6 inches wide. I recall having to iron a $1 bill flat (they're 6") and using it to measure them. To this day, some 25 or so years later, I still fold my t-shirts. (But only the t-shirts.) Maybe not as precisely haha, but I still have nice and straight, neat stacks of t-shirts in the closet.

I know...sorry everybody....TMI... :blushing:

Anyway....Awesome ride of 17.xx miles!! :drinker: And no problem, we'll get your goal adjusted on the spreadsheet too.

Sorry I'm a bit behind this week . My Monday 10/7 workout was 2.5 Miles Walking = 20.13
Tues & Wed was non-mileage stuff :-(

Exercise total for today

Wednesday 10/09

(Exercise bike - 23 miles & walk - 3 miles)

Total miles for today - 26 miles

***217 miles done and 483 miles to go:happy:

Awesome day today. Weather cool but dry and no wind.

10/08 - 7.5 miles biking
10/09 - 10.5 miles biking

Total: 88.0 miles

You guys are hilarious! I did three miles today, and yes I went past my front door and circled back because I was only at 2.96. It doesn't bother me if I end up OVER 3 miles, I'll just round that down, but rounding up bothers me. :laugh: If I go over enough times I eventually get another whole mile and I add that to my total. Maybe that's why I dared to suggest we don't need to log the fractional miles.

Logging my first 3.3 miles out of 100 : )

AACK! I would like to join again - sorry I didn't get to it until now. Put me down for another 100.

Luckily I have a fit bit and record all of my distance, so I have already logged 35 miles since October 1.

Didn't make my goal for Sept but I'm hell bent on making in for October.
