    Jeannie and Michelle thanks for the feedback. I am not used to walking every day and I guess I would be walking around 5 miles every day to reach my goal. I recently moved to a house located on two main bike/walking trails in MN the Heartland and Paul Bunyan trails. I retired 3 years ago from teaching 8th graders and found it difficult to transition and became a couch potato! Since last October I joined MFP and the ladies over 50 thread and some of them walk 10,000 to 20,000 steps. I saw your thread and what you people are doing so you motivated me to join in!!!

    I think I have around 27 - 30 miles so far. 5-7 miles a day. I try to get 10,000 steps in in the morning and my husband has been walking with me after work.

    Need to step up my game this week if I want to reach my goal. Decided I'll do the longer cycle commute next week and take it from 5 miles to 7.5 miles.. Or at least I'll try to

    April: 491.94 km (305.6 miles) = 43 hours 6 min
    May: 361.81 km (224.8 miles) = 35 hours 50 min
    June: 569.53 km (353.9 miles) = 41 hours 53 min
    July: 230.7 km (143.35 miles) = 32 hours 45 min
    Aug: 211.3 km (131.3 miles) = 28 hours 8 min

    Sep 2 - 1.4 km walking (17 min) + 25 flights of stairs (18 min)


    Hi everyone again . Here's to September! It's finally spring, so hopefully I'll be able to get out and about more often again. :)

    I am making an effort to do stairs 5 days a week now, so I'll be tracking them as time, but not distance. And I must say, it has already made a difference. We had seats for the Symphony as high as you could go in our concert hall last Friday, and I had no trouble at all getting up there. :)

    As for goals, I really want to do more than I did in August. Hopefully longer daylight hours and potentially warmer weather will allow me to do that.

    Totals:

    Sep Cycling Outside: 0 km (0 min)
    Sep Cycling Inside: 0 min
    Sep Walking: 5.6 km (69 min)
    Sep Stairs: 50 flights (36 min)
    Sep Other:
    Sep Time Total: 105 min = 1 hour 45 min
    Sep Distance Total: 5.6 km = 3.4 miles

    Sep 3 - 1.5 km (18 min) + 25 flights of stairs (18 min)

    Sep 4 - 3.5 km (45 min) ... a beautiful day, 18 degrees, sunshine, and a wonderful walk on the beach

    Sep 5 - 16 km (50 min) ... outside! A bit breezy but otherwise not too bad + 3 km (35 min) walk on the beach

    Sep 6 - 1.5 km (18 min) walk to a waterfall

    Totals

    Sep Cycling Outside: 16 km (50 min)
    Sep Cycling Inside: 0 min
    Sep Walking: 15.1 km (185 min)
    Sep Stairs: 75 flights (54 min)
    Sep Other:
    Sep Time Total: 289 min = 4 hour 49 min
    Sep Distance Total: 31.1 km = 19.3 miles

    Thanks! You are doing awesome! I hope to start up swimming next week. I did that last winter and spring with my sister in law and a friend. She has a really really bad case of poison ivy so probably will have to wait a week. I don't swim like a pro I just keep my head above water and do laps. I have trouble with ear aches.

    It was a beautiful day today. I was able to walk 7.04 miles today and 43.16 miles total. I am starting to feel it in my legs and hips so I am going to take a rest day tomorrow. I do weight lifting every other day and that is all I will do tomorrow.
