At this point i have done 132 km and shortly will head out for a 16km ride home. leaving just over 400 km to do before month end (320 of those KM will come from the work Commute that I do 4 out of 5 days) so that leaves me 80 extra km to find time for by the end of April (spread over 5 weekend days that's only 16 per day half what i ride on a work day)
Great work everyone, as of the this mornings ride to work I am at 248.4 km , it looks like it's going to be a beautiful week so should be easy to rack up the km barring any catastrophes. about to leave for the 16km trek home (may drag it out a bit at the bottom and take a spin by the lake which is good for an extra 8 k or so)
So warm this morning i just wore a track jacket and a thin long sleeve running shirt.

Have a long way to go before the end of the month! Let's see if I can make it!
Thanks for support everyone!0 -
Hi all
Had to step away from this challenge due to not one but two herniated disks in my back and neck. The back one for now is good as I finally had to get that shot in my back and so far it has helped. The neck one doesn't bother me as much, so were leaving it alone for now.
But.....I finally got the okay to go back to working out. Although I was told to take it easy and ease back into it. I wasn't even allowed to walk as that was killing me too.
So I know it's mid April, well almost the end of April, but thought I would jump in again.
My goal will be 50 miles by the end of the month. I think that is taking it easy? Well maybe not, but I'll aim high.

Interesting - another 30 mins excercise min fail today... Not sure if I simply overdid it today (walk to school, orchestra, lunch with friend, missed full blown nap before taking daughter to docs, full blown CHronic Fatigue crash at 4.30 recover 7 when guests arrive) or due to cycle ride (and treatment) and late nap yesterday. Or both... Sorry not trying to bore you all with my health issues - just keeping a record helps me look back and reflect and so manage my illness better...
Might have managed to get myself out to complete/exceed the 30 mins another day as the energy came back - but it was raining, and Frankly I was too full of pudding and plonk to care! Fun eve.

Don't beat yourself up about it @gentlygently we all have bad days. But keep on going - I've read that gentle exercise is one of the best things for chronic fatigue. Have you tried qigong? A friend of mine made ENORMOUS improvements with it.
I've had a busy week, two trips to Head Office, a trip to Tewkesbury, and an evening out at the races where I won the princely sum of £3.67. Missed my dance classes this week, partly because last week I found myself dancing in the first class with LOTS of very beginners and it was too hard work. Reassuring to know that at last I am improving!!
I'm back to running, I did about 3 miles on Friday and 4 miles Saturday. I did consecutive days to see whether I could do a 4 mile run on fatigued legs, and turns out I can, so there's no excuse for not signing up to the 10k race in the weeks time. None of those miles were run continuously though, I'm walking the last part of each mile, but since I don't have time to train properly that's probably the best plan to make sure I can do it without getting injured.
Cocktails and super rich foods last night have made me laze around today, although I'm restless as anything.
Walk/run miles so far this month: 61/60 miles so hit goal there!!
Cycling: 10.5/40
Dancing: 5/10 hours
Total miles 71.5/1001 -
so - nothing Sat or Sunday of note as well. But back in the pool today. Thanks for qigong idea Girlina - looks like there is a class starting locally later in the year to explore.
