    got my 3 miles in yesterday but today the city closed the roads so couldn't get to the gym. Free day off of work too!!!!! Yeah!!!!! So I am going to spend my free day sewing, not much of a calorie burner but sure is relaxing. If roads open may make it to the gym for a zumba class tonight. Everyone have a nice weekend. It 's nice to see so many people joined this month's challange. Keep up the good work.:happy:

    I messed up my knee, so I'm stuck at 30 minutes :cry:. I'm going to try to go back in the morning, but I'm afraid I might make it worse. The inside side of my left kneecap is sore. Not sure what that could be but I'm ready to start jogging again!

    I did 2.3 miles today. It took me 45 minutes so I am not going very fast. However, I am almost 60 and I haven't stuck to any kind of exercise program in a very long time. I read all of your posts and they keep me motivated to get moving each morning. Thanks to all of you!

    lol...I hope mine starts losing some of his. He's put on a few pounds (well a lot...I think its from eating the puppy's food when we got the puppy last year). Since he is a bigger breed I don't want him to get a weight problem and then have hip issues. :(

    OUCH! Maybe start with only walking, and if it still hurts bad maybe check with a doctor?

    Grrr.. had to create a new ticker because I can never remember the stupid PIN code! :grumble:

    Oh, and my pedometer went through the wash and doesn't work too well anymore, so I'm guessing, but definitely underestimating my steps. Usually when I get out for all my walks I end up about 14-16000 steps per day, and I'm only estimating 12000 per day for now. Will have to go out and get a new one soon so I can input proper numbers :wink:

    I've managed to walk a couple days. It's hard with all the snow on the ground. I'm determined though.

    What am I doing wrong? My ticker still shows I've done nothing! Eeeek.

    Woohoo! Finally made a start for February! This morning is the first day in ages it's been under 30C, so my husband and I took the opportunity and walked 1.5 miles before breakfast. Feels great :) Happy weekend everyone!

    Oh, and about the ticker not updating, are you sure you're logging into the same one to update and not accidentally creating another one? That's all I can come up with at the moment. Hope it gets worked out for you!

    Weekends are my time to get off the treadmill and do a volksmarch or two but today I did something new. I have to do different things or I get bored. I signed up last week to do a 5K run/walk for Children's Tranplant organization here in town. It was fun,just like a volksmarch except we had lots of runners and we were timed. Did the 3 miles in 57 minutes and few seconds. I thought that was great because there was 2 hills and I hate hills. Met a nice lady that I hope will become my walking buddy. Have been looking for one since I moved here and think I have found one. Have two other benefit walk/runs coming up. Soooooo if anyone wants to do something different to break the menotomy(did I spell that right) look for some run/walks in your area, it helps you and the organizations. Now, those of you up to you eyeballs in snow must wait til you are thawed out and snow is melted.
