I passed 100mi sometime during last week... I'm wondering if I can double it!0

I hit it yesterday

I just went back and divided my two biking entries by two so now I'm at 92 so far, most of it walking and running.0
-
I passed 100 last Tuesday, and I'm pretty sure I was the first, so ... I WON!!!
Where's my prize? Go Team Asia! (I think it's a team of one. We should have divided by country/continent ... or, in the case of US, by state or region )
Actually most of those are stationary bike "miles," since I don't want to aggravate my plantar fasciitis. (Boo plantar fasciitis.) Still, I was curious how long it'd take. And I didn't want to divide miles by half because ... well, by the logic of "bike covers more territory," so does running, so would that count as less than walking? Do heavier people who have to work harder while running get to count more miles? What about different types of swimming? Like, sidestroke vs butterfly? Nah, gets too complicated. But mainly I was curious how much theoretical "ground" I cover with my regular routine.
I'm trying to keep track of walking through color coding ... hope to make 100 that way too! Probably won't, but that'd be cool. I'll have to convert km to miles and then parse out additional miles that aren't color-coded separately cuz they're lumped into a full day's amount. So not sure where I stand on that; maybe around 35-40 miles of pure walking ...0 -
Yeh I'm liking the color coding, mine are red for running, green for walking, blue for biking and orange if it was a walk then a run on the same day. I think I have about equal miles walking and running, I am not a bike rider though, it seems to really exhaust me, I'd rather run those same ten miles than do them on a bike, especially with these hills...0
-
Just figured it out. (Ah, the advantages of having a cold and really not wanting to do anything but sit by the heater with my laptop.) So far I'm at 119 miles on the spreadsheet, of which 45 are walking miles. Which I think is pretty good, but still, to get 100 I'd need to walk 55 miles in the next 11 days ... hmmmmm ...0
-
I am only entering 1/4 of the miles I ride on my bike. I am just under 100 miles on the bike left to go. This group has been a great motivation for me to start the new year out right. My gym has a "Ride 2,015 miles in 2015" challenge. I want that done before I go on vacation in mid-May!0
-
19.5 miles to go!0
-
I'm not going to make it. I should have hit 95 this month with my regular exercise schedule but the treadmill in my gym (which I run on after BJJ class twice a week) broke before Christmas and has not yet been replaced, which knocked some 20-25 miles off my month
0 -
I just filled in the rest of the month when I know I will be working out. Because my work out buddies definitely help me hold myself accountable. But with that filled in I'm only half way there! Oh man! Maybe I need to extend some of these work out outs and stop giving myself "off" days.0
-
I'm at 119.5 but I feel a little like I'm cheating counting walking, I walk several miles every day commuting because its much easier than driving in traffic, so most of my miles are walking. If I count running alone, so far I only have 39 miles.0

Went over 100 today! All walking for me.0

Awesome! Just curious, do you walk to get around or do you make time in your day for an exercise walk? or both?0 -
I am over 400 miles on the bike, and 500 for the month is within reach!!!!0
-
MaxPower, that is awesome man, and I thought I did well with approaching 200!

Completed my 100 plus a bit more today. All walking, morning beach walks with my dog helped :-) As long as I get that walk in I can be pretty sure I'll get my 10,000 steps a day.0
-
Not quite beachfront, but just a 5 minute walk away and I am very lucky :-)0
-
Going to come up a little short. Estimate I will end with about 70 miles completed. Not bad considering I lost 8 days to Swimming lessons, Curling club and 6 days of Alpine Skiing with 4 travel days limited my high kilometer running/swimming days.0
-
I did it and I'm proud of me. 106 so far and the days not over. Kudos to all of you who finished at the beginning of the month. Took me till the 28th, but that's ok, I mover much more everyday this month than in the past year and this challenge helped motivate me and that's what it's all about.0

OK, final report! (Since it's Feb 1 for me now.)
Total of 212.8 miles if I count stationary bike and treadmill.
92 miles if I only count walking. (I'm not a runner.)
80 miles if I only count "serious walking" -- hiking, multi-hour walks around town, etc. (Not walking to the store.)
12 of the 92 "walking miles" are kind of cheating because it includes everyday walking -- like walking to the gym or a slightly long-ish walk to a store that isn't just two minutes away. I didn't count going around the corner for veggies or buying a light bulb or something, and almost all of my "everyday life" shopping is on foot, so I assume (and hope) it typically adds up to more than 12 miles a month ... it'd be interesting to know ... but anyway I counted 12 miles that way.
Cheating or not, if I'd done that calculation yesterday I'd have gone on an 8 mile walk to make a full 100 miles of walking in January!
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the amount. I was sick for a week and did absolutely nothing, so if I do my normal routine, I guess that's a lot of shoe leather. Or whatever they put in shoes these days. I'm definitely moving more than I was this time last year, so yay 0 -
Final report from me too - 111.7 miles. Thanks for the support everyone, it certainly got me moving on days when I didn't feel like it :-)0
-
Final report 76 miles - a combination of swimming, walking and running. Hoping to continue the group/spreadsheet into the rest of the year.0

Didn't quite make it this month. However, the challenge did get me walking more and I am back at the gym and the pool after a break, so feels like success to me. Are we carrying on in Feb?0
-
Oh yay, just saw the new tab on the spreadsheet for Feb, I'll carry on then...
0 -
It's on.
100 miles/160km a month in 2015
Thanks to lexbubbles for adding the Tab and changing the name to indicate a year long challenge.0
