    I'm new to the group and looooove this idea. WOW!!! 100 miles in total for this month.
    I just started the couch to 5k program.... I'm hoping to complete at least 75 of the 100..... The 100 is a longshot but WOW!!!! That would be awesome if I complete it!!!

    My target for May will be 200 miles running and walking combined.

    So far 3 miles running, 7 miles hiking and 18 miles cycling - total 28 miles.

    Off to a good start!

    YEP it is a move challenge. You can walk, run, jog, bike, fly if you dare lol....

    I'm hoping to get in a little bit of canoeing ... if the wintery conditions hold off just a bit longer. However, there's a big storm going on here now predicted to continue into the weekend ... gale force winds, lots of rain. Not really good canoeing weather. :)

    Good morning! This is exactly what I need. I am new to MFP, it is great to have online support. I have been trying to lose weight, for a few months now and I just seems to hit 160 and can't get past it! I like to exercise on my elliptical, spin bike and I walk outside. I am looking forward to posting my miles :smile:

    Moving and grooving today, 75 minutes of Zumba, not sure how to convert this to miles? If it's back wind tomorrow I'm cycling to work but only if it's back wind otherwise I'll never get there.

    May to date - 28 miles and 75 minutes Zumba

    May

    01 Fri - 3.2 km walking (35 min)
    02 Sat - 37.43 km cycling (120 min)
    03 Sun - 31.04 km cycling (100 min)

    So ... my goal is to move 500 km or as close to it as possible again. :) Little bit more challenging now as this is a busy month with work and university ... plus it is winter, and darkness falls on my way home from work now.

    04 Mon - 4 km walking (50 min) ... all utility walking, commuting to work, walking between work and uni

    Plus I did a 35 min stair climbing workout in the evening. My yard is full of little sets of stairs. The longest one is 7 steps so I mainly focused on that one, up and down, up and down, but I also jogged between the others and did them too for some variety. In total, just over 1000 stairs climbed.
    Plus 10 min upper body weights workout.

    05 Tues - 4.8 km walking (60 min) ... again, all utility walking.


    Sub-total:
    Walking: 12 km (7.4 miles)
    Cycling: 68.47 km (42.5 miles)
    Time: 365 min (6 h 5 min) walking & cycling + 45 min stairs & weights

    Welcome Mcoderre! DO THE BEST YOU CAN. That is all we ask. IF you lay down and sleep on us we'll walk all over you! lol.......SERIOUSLY WELCOME.... :)

    I am in awe of all the work you guys do. <3 It truly does motivate me. I hope too get back too the Exercise bike as well. It has been busy since we were away awhile for my husbands Turkey Hunting vacation and then my baby got sick. TODAY is a family day for us as well. It happens. I plan too get out of here for a walk very soon before we have too leave and go too family....

    YOU GUYS CARRY ON!!!!!!! I will see you later... :)

    I chickened out and did 2.5 miles on the treadmill, I didn't fancy a 30 mile an hour gust of wind blowing me under a lorry! Will try again on Friday when the weather should be better.

    May to date - 30.5 miles and 75 minutes Zumba

    can I join? That way I can duplicate posts on another similar thread and feel doubly good that I am getting some exercise in!!!! ;)


    Goal - be more active, cycling more to justify buying a new snazzy bike.

    May results to date:

    Cycling - 1/10 hours (11 miles so far)
    Walking - 10/50 miles (includes anything above 1 mile showing on my fitbit)
    Swim - 0/100 laps
    Lindy Hop class - 1/4 times


    rest day today
