    Yay I :heart: this challenge!

    Since I am away for a week at the start of March, and then Easter is towards the end, I have just 10 Zumba classes in March (60 mins each = 600 mins), 8 of which I cycle to (~30mins = 240 mins => 840 mins total). So I think I will go back to a goal of *1,000 minutes of activity* in March and see how we get on.

    Registering for duty!!

    I'm going to be bold. I'm aiming for a minimum of 100 miles, EIGHTY of which must be walking/running. I use my fitbit to calculate, but only count mileage where it is more than one.

    I'm also away much of this week making site visits. I have two major events planned this month - a ten mile obstacle race and then at Easter I have planned a Swing Dance and Circus festival - lots of dancing and probable bruises from circus games.

    Me too again... This time I've broken down my goals:

    800 mins 'usual'
    3-600 'stretch'
    30 mins activity atleast on 28 days - 14 'usual', 14 'stretch'

    (Health/parents care willing!)



    1 March: 40 mins walking - 20 usual, 20 stretch - walking up hill, in cold, cold wind and rain. Lovely.....?!

    I got in 1.25 so far this morning. I was lacking energy and motivation at the gym so I am hoping to get back later to get up to 3.5 for the day.

    The Michigander bike tour looks FAB!! Steve.

    Before I got sick I used to do a bit of cycle touring - tent on back of bike stuff or b and bs. The last big one was the Devon coast to coast. Now it ihas to be more modest - last year we did a Bike and Boat trip along the Danube...

    What a great thing to train for.

    Distances include cycling + walking
    March: 489.8 km (304.3 miles) = 38 hours 4 min
    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: 306.7 km (190.6 miles) = 35 hour 2 min
    Oct: 441.82 km (274.5 miles) = 47 hours 43 min
    Nov: 660.21 km (410.23 miles) = 60 hours 41 min
    Dec: 499.91 km (282.8 miles) = 54 hours 56 min
    Jan: 864.79 km (537.35 miles) = 65 hours 36 min
    Feb: 470.53 km (292.4 miles) = 40 hours 39 min

    I was hoping for 48 hours in Feb, but missed it by 7.5 hours. Too much travelling ... but then again, there's not such a thing as too much travelling. :grin:

    March = Autumn, Easter, My Birthday Month, University + Work

    Looking back at last March, I did 489.8 km (304.3 miles) = 38 hours 4 min of walking and cycling. I'd like to do at least that, and preferably up and over 500 km and 40 hours. :)

    So to begin ...

    Mar 1 - 5.9 km (70 min) walking + 41 flights of stairs (32 min)


    Totals:
    Mar Cycling Outside: 0 km (0 min)
    Mar Cycling Inside: 0 min
    Mar Walking: 5.9 km (70 min)
    Mar Stairs: 41 flights (32 min)
    Mar Time Total: 102 min = 1 hours 42 min
    Mar Distance Total: 5.9 km = 3.66 miles

    In again for this month!
    I'm gonna go for 1200 minutes. And I won't set a goal for km but I will count them to see how much I run this month.

    Mar 1st: 45 minutes running (7km), 10 minutes yoga, 15 minutes walking, 25 minutes strength

    Total - 95 / 1200 mins
    Remaining - 1105 mins

    Running = 7km

    Thanks gentlygently - I'm excited 4 or 5 guys from work are going. Been on my bucket list for a long long time to do a multiday tour. I do a few day metric centry rides here around Indiana every year but always wanted to do a multi. Was going with the group last year to ride the Katy trail ride in Missouri but had to cancel when my daughter got sick.

    @ jeanniewes -No I'm old just refuse to grow up lol

    Welcome all newbees, Konagirl and girlinahat good to see ya again..... let's rock March!!!

    I've got to be really serious this month ( not that I wasn't) I'm getting a hip replacement next month. I need to ride everyday even if it's super short just to get the movement/exercise in. That will be my challenge to myself.
