    Hey Guys! Happy Monday to you all. Hope you had a great weekend. I had a fab one myself. We got a couple crazy thunderstorms with wind and such but nothing too bad. Now it's back to the weekday grind. Once again, working for the weekend.

    Y'all are doing so great with your steppin and bikin and even a little flyin...? lol We are on the down hill slide of this month! Can you even believe that??? Enjoy it! We'll never get another May in 2015... It's true, I checked. :p

    HA! Steve, I LOVE you! Omgoodness, I thought I had the only incredibly weird brain that thought of such inane, yet quite interesting, things such as this! I love it, I just love it! Dude, we could jack some thought processes around here. :p

    Maybe we're not the only ones.... (insert The Twilight Zone jingle) lol

    Happy Tuesday, guys! We won't get another Tuesday this week so make the best of this one... Ok ok I'll stop!

    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

    Hmmm ... I haven't logged in here in a little while ...

    06 Wed - 2.8 km walking (35 min)
    07 Thurs - 5.3 km walking (65 min)
    08 Fri - 3.8 km walking (45 min)

    09 Sat - 27.5 km cycling (85 min) ... relatively flat ride on the Cycleway
    10 Sun - 41.03 km cycling (120 min) ... hilly ride up behind our place 764 metres of climbing.

    Sub-total:
    Walking: 23.9 km (14.8 miles)
    Cycling: 137 km (85.1 miles)
    Time: 715 min (11 h 55 min) walking & cycling + 45 min stairs & weights

    Cycling: 137 km (85.1 miles)
    Time: 840 min (14 hours) walking & cycling + 45 min stairs & weights

    13 Wed - 6.6 km walking (75 min)
    14 Thurs - 4.7 km walking (55 min)
    15 Fri - 3.5 km walking (40 min)

    16 Sat - 22.3 km ride with 557 metres of climbing (70 min)
    17 Sat - 26 km flatter ride along the foreshore (80 min)

    G'morning guys! You all are smashing this thing. How exciting! Jeannie, you are very close to goal. Wait, is your goal 100? or did you jack it up to 150? I forget... Either way, you're dusting it. :D

    Had a fabulous weekend away in Edinburgh, walked around town, up and down hills for 2 days, but no real idea of the distance. If anyone is going to Edinburgh I thoroughly recommend the World War 1 exhibition in the National Portrait Gallery, it had me in tears.

    Weather since then has been crazy, it has chucked it down, thunder and lightning and hail, so no cycling.

    May to date - 113 miles.

    Total: 75.31 miles of 100 miles

    doesn't look like 100 miles should be at all difficult for you given your results so far!! Great job!!

    me:
    Cycling - 4.75/10 hours (49 miles so far)
    Walking - 27.5/50 miles (includes anything above 1 mile showing on my fitbit)
    Swim - 30/100 laps
    Lindy Hop class - 3/4 times

    Total miles 76.5

    Had a much less confidence-bashing dance class last night. I don’t feel too bad about holding myself back in class level as I was really concentrating on getting the form right. A big smile at the end of the class.

    I'm picking up my new bike (yup, extravagance, but with the cycle to work scheme savings I'd be a fool not to!!) tomorrow so will have a play on that, plus walking with a friend in Pembrokeshire over the weekend. Added to that I’ve got three days on on-site surveys in gardens to do so plenty of scope for getting in some walking miles! Exercise by stealth – that’s how I like it. ;)

    @mandybaker100, I would love to see Edinburgh one day. So glad you experienced that. And @jeanniewes, I'm with you. These posts are so great and uplifting! Thanks to all of you guys. <3

    Ok, so yesterday I ran off and forgot my Fitbit!! GRRRRRR! If I didn't live so far from work, I would have ran home to get it. But no, running home would have meant STAYING home. lol NOT coming back to the office a 2nd time in one day. Not happening! Giving myself a very modest 3 miles... sigh...
