    Just made the 30 mins yesterday - through gritted teeth - not a good day at many levels... But today better, my first swim in ages....a bit out of practise so just 30 mins, plus walking there and back. Back is all uphill, and my legs reminded me!

    30 mins minimum every day - 7 out of 7
    45 mins plus (but under 400 cals) - 2
    400 plus cal burn - 3

    That weather sounds grim Steve (time to be thankful you are not a pro cyclist! Jeepers those guys do the distance in all sorts of hideous weather...) - hope it is safe and enjoyable out on the roads soon.

    I'm new to this challenge and a little late in starting, but i'm, already at 20 miles for April. I'm going to shoot for 300, a combination of walking, running, and biking. Thank you for coming up with this challenge.

    Lots of gentle gardening today (hours of it) - I'll count it as just a 30 mins walk- but the garden's looking great, and lots of new plant in and weeds out.

    30 mins minimum every day - 9 out of 9
    45 mins plus (but under 400 cals) - 3
    400 plus cal burn - 3

    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
    March: 917.73 km (570.2 miles) = 66 hours 13 min

    April probably won't be as ambitious as March was because I have three major uni assignments due before the middle of the month and won't be as active. But if I could do what I did last April, that would be nice. :)

    I am exhausted from yesterday - think I might have overdone it a bit. Gentle walk at lunchtime hopefully today (in the rain.....) but otherwise just resting I think.

    not surprised you're tired @bigroastdinner!!!!

    Talking of which, roast dinners and steak and chips lunches just about did me in at the weekend. That and a fair amount of wine....

    went to see the parents, as took my dad out for lunch for his birthday. He's a big fan of Single Malt whisky, so it seemed the thing to do to help him taste some of the bottles he received....

    But now I'm feeling stodgy and in need of MOVEing again. I went to a Charleston class last night which I was hopeless at, but the joy of walking into and out of the city after a weekend spent sedentary was great. Going back to the gym this morning after a few weeks off was hard but glad I did it.

    so far this month:
    walking miles - 20/60
    cycling - 10.5/40
    Dance class hours - 3/10

    totals miles 30.5/100
