    Would love everyone too reach at least 100 miles in at least ONE particular exercise BUT it is not necessary. You can still combine them ....

    April

    01 Wed - 3.7 km walking
    02 Thurs - 1.8 km walking
    03 Fri - 8.5 km walking + 40.52 km cycling
    04 Sat - 3.8 km walking + 35.23 km cycling
    05 Sun - 0 km walking + 40.11 km cycling
    06 Mon - 2.4 km walking
    07 Tues - 1.5 km walking
    08 Wed -

    Sub-total: 21.7 km walking (13.5 miles) + 115.86 km cycling (72 miles)


    Our long, long Easter holiday gave my husband and me the chance to cycle in old familiar territory ... where we used to live. :) Miss that place!! And down here, the leaves are turned colour but there is still a lingering warmth. It's autumn. :)

    08 Wed - 7.14 km walking
    09 Thurs - 5.4 km walking
    10 Fri -

    Sub-total: 34.24 km walking (21.3 miles) + 115.86 km cycling (72 miles)

    Back to chilly Tasmania. Seems like winter has already started here.

    10 Fri - 5 km walking
    11 Sat - 82.67 km cycling :grin:

    Sub-total: 39.24 km walking (24.4 miles) + 198.53 km cycling (123 miles)

    Overcast, a bit windy with a high today reaching a chilly 15C (that's 60F or somewhere around there I think).

    On my ride yesterday ... :)

    12 Sun - 11.7 km walking


    Sub-total: 50.94 km walking (31.6 miles) + 198.53 km cycling (123 miles)


    We were going to go canoeing now that we have our canoe out of storage, but the wind kicked up and there must have been a storm in the Southern Ocean because there was quite a bit of swell. Instead, we opted to go for a hike.

    13 Mon - 4.2 km walking
    14 Tues - 4 km walking

    Sub-total: 59.14 km walking (36.7 miles) + 198.53 km cycling (123 miles)

    15 Wed - 3.1 km walking
    16 Thurs - 4.4 km walking
    17 Fri - 3.2 km walking
    18 Sat - 92.32 km cycling
    19 Sun - 19.05 km cycling

    Sub-total: 69.84 km walking (43.4 miles) + 309.9 km (192.56 miles)


    Saturday's ride was a tough one that included hills, wind, more wind, continued wind, a sudden weather change from reasonably warm to freezing cold and rainy ... the wind swung around to be a full-on headwind just then ... and because I had twisted my ankle shortly before the ride, it was giving me some trouble the hill/wind combos where I was really pushing.

    Sunday's ride was a walk-in-the-park by comparison.

    Great scenery both days.

    20 Mon - 2.2 km walking (25 min)
    21 Tues - 4.85 km walking (60 min)
    22 Wed - 6.6 km walking (80 min)
    23 Thurs - 2.8 km walking (75 min)
    24 Fri - 3.1 km walking (35 min)
    25 Sat - 48.65 km cycling (150 min) ... hilly ride.
    26 Sun - 25.6 km cycling (75 min)

    Sub-total: 89.39 km walking (55.5 miles) + 384.15 km (238.7 miles)
    2312 min = 38 hours 32 min     :smiley:


    And in other news ... I did some research, then did some experimenting, and came up with a delicious low-cal French toast. Yum-yum! My husband even like it. This may seem like nothing to some of you ... but I am not any sort of cook. He does all the cooking ... if I'm on my own, the best I can do is to assemble food (i.e. make a sandwich). I've never made French toast before, and I had no idea how that process would go, let alone the fact that I was using low-cal almond milk which I've never used before either. But it worked!! :smiley:

    Busy weekend! from April 22-26, the total miles were 20.31 Miles
    April Total: 161.6 Miles

    I hit my 150 mile total but unless I walk 40 miles the next 4 days, I won't be hitting 200.

    Great job everyone!

    MMMMM, French toast!!! Yum!
    Santiago, what a little go-getter you are! ;) You inspire me!.... To type words like 'go-getter'... lol

    People! The mosquitoes down here are like small helicopters! OMGoodness, they are just horrible. It's so hard to imagine that our friends to the west are going thru a severe draught and around my place, standing water is EVERYWHERE. Why didn't Noah swat those 2 mosquitoes??? HA!

    I'm glad I can inspire someone to type....lol

    I have a FitBit and I'm usually in challenges wit other FitBitters so that is definitely why my miles have been so high! Also, I have a wedding dress to fit into next year, so I have plenty of motivation :)

    Hey I'm a Firbitter too! And nothing like wedding bells to kick the motivation up a notch. Congrads to you!

    Jahmanrv, don't get down on yourself. You've had some setbacks but I so admire that you've stayed here with us even though your numbers aren't where you want them to be. It'll come. ;)
