    MACHKA....Belated Happy Birthday! :) ...You live in Australia. May I ask what part? Husband and I took a tour there years ago. We started in Sidney then took the train too perth. Also several other areas by bus tour. I loved Ayers Rock...I LOVE Australia out bush and all better than the major cities. Some would probably not want Kangaroo's eating from their hand BUT that was one of the highlights of MY trip.....lol

    Thank you both. :)

    I live in Tasmania now, but was living in a somewhat rural area of Victoria just north of Melbourne for my first 4 years in Australia.

    And yeah, a city is a city just about anywhere ... I prefer the country. The wildlife, the plantlife, etc.

    On Sunday, for example, my husband and I were riding our tandem in a beautiful part of northern Tasmania, and saw quite a large echidna by the side of the road. That's the sort of thing I like. :)

    Welcome Rab1993, and just check you all out! I mean, I am so inspired. Seriously, we are totally getting this done! Jeannie, you are proud Group Mom, aren't you?

    It is wet, soggy, humid, all those squishy words down here in bayou country. Hard to get that garden planted in the mud...

    Cheers guys, the ride home was great and managed a decent speed even if its in yesterdays kit :). Washed and changed went to pick up my new bike and hit the jumps for an hour on the way home, few bits to alter but its a nice ride. Going for my third shower of the day before i head to the pool.

    Have to agree with jesi your the group mom.

    EACH OF YOU DESERVE (*) (*) (*) (*) (*) for all your work and upbeat personalities! <3

    Early morning I tried too do an exercise bike session but the Electricity went off. I was at 3 miles...grrrrrrrrrrrr! Later day I walked 1.25 miles with the 10 pound weights on. Just returned from 2.75 miles with husband and my girls... Dont know WHY but I am so tired today. IF the rain had not stopped and the sun come out I guess I would not have got too do outside walks.... I AM HAPPY THE RAIN GAVE ME A BREAK~!

    IF I get a second wind I may do another EX bike session but for now these are my totals.... :)

    Yep, that's it.

    If you stop next to one to get a photo, they'll roll themselves into a ball. But if you're really quiet and patient, after a little while, they'll unroll. :)

    Wow - so many of you will smash this challenge within two weeks let alone the month - puts me to shame! My fitbit battery dies on me yesterday so I lost around 5k steps, still nevermind. Together with 10th and 11th I added 8.34

    Good Thursday morning, guys! Welcome hmthomas317! Just pile on up in here with us. The more, the merrier!!

    2ledbetter, don't you just despise those days? Ugh, I say, "Next please!" lol And here we are, a new day, another beginning. Yes!

    Matchka9, the link you sent... Awesome! Loved checking out your neck of the woods. My two boys and I really enjoyed experiencing some of your nature. Thanks for that. Not many koala bears over this way. None actually... But we have lots and lots of raccoons, armadillos, squirrels and opossums.

    4.33 miles
    41.68 total miles

    Rigi8 is right, some of your guys are smoking the rest of us! :p

    Wow, everyone is rocking the exercise. Thank you all for your encouragement. Have to have an MRI on the ankle, but dr. gave me an okay to do exercise bike and the rowing machine. Also upper body weights although I have to make sure no weight is on my foot. So so happy to not have to remain still for a few weeks. I'm off to the gym tomorrow to finally get a cardio workout in. YEAH!!!!!!! Will still be behind in my 100 mile goal, but I'm okay with that. Just thrilled to be able to do something.

    Rigi8 Im not too far ahead of you on the walking part! YOU HANG IN THERE!!!!

    Awwwwwwwwwwwwe Australia ..I LOVE IT!!!!

    jahmanry I am so sorry you're having too go thru that with your ankle. I feel for you. I really do. Having my set back in Dec and Jan made me realize how much we NEED every muscle, tendon, foot, ankle, etc etc of our bodies too function correctly. Praying everything works out for you. :)

    Today was a good day. We actually had SUNSHINE! 3.25 walk/run combination with my girls. Later day slower walk shopping/browsing without sitting so another 2.25 miles..

    TOTAL thus far March 11th.................40.50 Walking miles...
    ..........................................................67.0 Exercise bike miles
