ok found this halfway through the month i will set my cycling goal at 550km (I started Biking to work on the 7th after picking up a new bike the 6th. 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.

As of this morning's Ride in to work (in the rain) I am at 373.85 km this month. I will be giving a break on saturday definitely as I am walking a half Marathon Sunday and want a rest day in there . Friday i will ride to the event registration and pick up some extra kms though (and My bib race shirt ...) the rest of this week i will play by ear (I took Thursday Friday off the commute because i needed the car to visit vendors and I had a lot of back pain which i want to avoid for Sunday ) I have 127km to make my goal for the month (work commute alone if i do it every day will be 141.3 so I should make it barring fatigue or needing the car at work

Review ...
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'm a bit behind where I wanted to be ... behind last April ... but this month has been hectic! I've hardly had a second to think let alone cycle or walk. Plus, my husband had an accident at work and cracked his ribs, so he hasn't been able to get out as much either.

I usually don't have much to say but thanks again for this challenge. And thanks to everyone that participated. I'll hopefully see you all again next month.

I did something stupid this week. All gung ho was I at the thought of doing 10k's and planning trail runs, and trying to work or how NOT to get blisters on my instep, I took my minimalist shoes out for a run for the first time for ages.

Did I take it slowly?, did I build up? No. Just went full into my usual run, because, hell, I often have bare feet, and since it wasn't hurting my feet to run, what harm could it do? IGNORED the aching in my calves after the first mile, HOBBLED by the third but carried on running.

So five days later, I'm still using the hand rail to help me walk downstairs, still tense in the calf muscles, struggling to stand on the balls of my feet. What am I? An idiot.

Two weeks until the 10k race I'm not trained for.......
