Day 11 complete. Walk around the campus after lunch. Nice sunny day even if cold. One advantage to walking here is the snow and ice is cleared well on all sidewalks on the brewery campus. Much better than my neighborhood.
Just looked at tally. Exactly 16miles YTD of dedicated walking. While I was outside all day Friday and Saturday skiing and walked around the Copper village a ton, it was more functional then haunting so didn't count.
1/1- 2.3miles
1/2-3.4m
1/3- 2.0m
1/4- 1.9m
1/5- 1.4m
1/6- 1.0m
1/7- 1.0m
1/8- 1.5m
1/9- ski
1/10- ski

Repeat of yesterday 1.02 for 16.75 total. Down loaded a Pedometer ap for the iphone and so far tracking in line with the Fitbit. Trying to decide what model to get as I really like the flex but am very interested in HR on my self quantification study. Any Thoughts?0

John - unless you are planning on really using the GPS functions, I don't recommend the Surge over the Charge HR. Costs more, and its bulky on wrist. I'm eying hubbys Charge HR. Have about a week left before my 45day return period on the Surge. I do like the GPS as I've always used mapmywalk or runtastic (and Strava), but the size and the lack of being able to export the .gpx file to other trackers has me not overly thrilled with the Surge. Need to make a firm decision, like STAT.
I'm also seeing if I don't occasionaly move to other hand overnight that my skin under band is getting irritated.0 -
So much jaunting. I love it!!!!!!!0

Did a mile on the treadmill.

Thanks Kim - Yep the more I look em over think I'm going for the Charge HR. I still like to use mapmyfitness for the gps and it all integrates with MFP so don';t really need another GPS, I have an Ironman GPS Global trainer (I got it for my water aerobics routines) that I use as a watch so big isn't so much an issue but if I can get all day HR that will be good O.
You got a herd here Jen! Can yo hear the rumble of our thunder off in the distance??0 -
Well I'm still going to Tahoe with the dogs. My friends are all in. Even if we can't sled we can still have fun in picturesque Tahoe! Also you know how long it took me to find a budget friendly but still nice 3 bedroom cabin with fenced yard that will take 6 dogs ?! Oh oh and that property backs in to the national forest. I gotta go lol. I'm so looking forward to my girls' trip!! Yay!0

I am very glad you did this. I am thinking about setting it as a monthly goal for myself.0 -
It's Wednesday everybody. Hope it will be a great day.
Carol, great time chatting with you yesterday.
Kevin, I'm planning some challenges each month - may just be more walking but that's my main focus right now. Loving that this is being received so well.
John, hehehe, herd.

Day14. Busy at work putting together a business case presentation for a proposed project. Didn't get out to walk. Pulled out the reflective best and got in a quick mile at night with the dog after lifting. Kinda slushy along the road, but thankfully not slippery.

Weekly Total: 2.7 miles
Yearly Total: 27.5 (2.5 to reach goal, but who's counting??? I AM!!!)
Took a walk outside, in the dark, this evening. Not the safest with ice. Felt good clearing my brain and breathing fresh air.0 -

Five miles in this morning (longest jaunt of the month so far). Feeling awfully good about it. That brings my total to 26.2 for the month. Hey, I just noticed something. I've walked a marathon! I know, I know. It took me seven days to do it! I still did it though!!!!

Five miles is great Jennifer!!!! Was just thinking last night, I'm itching for a long walk. These mile here and there or dog walks are great, but I really like getting out and walking for an hour or so. This weekend I need to take advantage of daylight and marginally warmer temps and get an hour in each day, which I know will be less miles than a summer walk due to the smaller stride ice and snow require...
Not tha I'm pushing pace..... this is jaunting and on my walks I'm intentional about keeping the pace in the very low fat burning/cardio range - unless doing sprints or hills. My goal is as much time in low or fat burning (50-69% of max HR) and a bit of peak/anaerobic (85+ max) occasionally sprinting, minimizing time in the "cardio" range (70-84%). I found last summer that doing this greatly improved my fitness/cardio ability on my bike - versus doing traditional training that stays in the "cardio" range. Tested very good V02 max for age at end of summer following this idea.0 -
Awesome Kim. I'm getting in at least 45 minutes to satisfy the FB challenge (as well as my own desire to make getting out worth it). You have a lot more science and expertise behind your activity. Me, I just get out there and hope for the best.
Day 16 of the January Jaunt is posted on YouTube. 0 -
