    Good too see you guys still hanging in there! Great photos Machka! I have been away for the past 5 days in a local state park. Husband, girls and i got in a LOT of hiking. We ate healthy as well. I had no way too log onto a computer which explains my absence here. I DID keep a calorie count and kept up with Mileage. So here goes...

    Sunday March 6th........3.0 Walking Miles...
    Monday March 7th........5.5 Walking Miles..
    Tuesday March 8th........6.5 Walking Miles..
    Wednesday March 9th..,.7.0 Walking Miles...
    Thursday March 10th......3.0 Walking Miles (traveled home with short walk before and after getting home)

    Total thus far March 10th .......38.5 Walking Miles...
    ...............................................9.0 Exercise Bike Miles...

    Phew that was a lot to catch up on posting! Had a wonderful holiday at Center Parcs and kept very active, so think I might have set my target a bit low for this month with almost 3 weeks to go still!! May have to re-evaluate!

    Everyone seems to be doing fabulously though I must say!

    People are doing well ! And welcome Gail and Royboy. I am finding the challenge really helpful to get me out walking even when my body in a bit of a dip. I'm adding all sorts of extra walking in, eg turned running an errand today into a really good time exploring a bit of London i don't know at all.

    But hoping to be up for more concerted swimming again soon....

    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

    Mar 2 - 7.5 km (90 min) walking + 41 flights of stairs (32 min)
    Mar 3 - 1.2 km (15 min) walking + 41 flights of stairs (32 min) + 8.95 km (25 min) cycling
    Mar 4 - 7.3 km (90 min) walking + 15 flights of stairs (12 min)
    Mar 5 - 1.2 km (15 min) walking + 34.54 km (100 min) cycling
    Mar 6 - 100.5 km (315 min) cycling
    Totals:
    Mar Cycling Outside: 143.99 km (440 min)
    Mar Cycling Inside: 0 min
    Mar Walking: 23.1 km (280 min)
    Mar Stairs: 138 flights (108 min)
    Mar Time Total: 828 min = 13 hours 48 min
    Mar Distance Total: 167.09 km = 103.8 miles
    Mar 7 - 8 km (100 min) walking + no flights of stairs. :cry:

    A minor knee injury ... badly bruised knee and lower ITB after my bicycle fell on it while attempting a balancing act between holding the bicycle and taking a photo.
    Totals:
    Mar Cycling Outside: 143.99 km (440 min)
    Mar Cycling Inside: 0 min
    Mar Walking: 31.1 km (380 min)
    Mar Stairs: 138 flights (108 min)
    Mar Time Total: 928 min = 15 hours 28 min
    Mar Distance Total: 175.09 km = 108.8 miles

    Kinda slowed down a bit to let my knee heal.

    Mar 8 - 4.8 km (60 min) walking
    Mar 9 - 2.7 km (30 min) walking + 10.8 km (35 min) cycling in the dark + lots of Mexican food. Happy Birthday to me! :)

    Mar Time Total: 945 min = 17 hours 33 min
    Mar Distance Total: 193.39 km = 120.2 miles

    Mar 14 - 0.5 km (10 min) walking ... up a small mountain, and down again

    Totals:

    And yes, my knee is feeling some better. :)
