April wasn't a brilliant month for me in terms of exercise ... I had hoped to do one or two longer bicycle rides but sometimes life intervenes in the plans. April ended up being an incredibly busy month with a heavier-than-usual workload at work + assignments due at university + the final steps of my citizenship process. I wrote the citizenship exam and then my ceremony was on April 29 and I am now officially an Australian Citizen!
May should be a calmer month, although I will be wrapping up the uni course I'm in so there will be work to do for that. Nevertheless, I hope for more kilometres than last May.

Thanks! It is exciting ... it has been a 7-year process.
My work colleagues gave me a huge bouquet of flowers today to celebrate.
I wasn't expecting that at all.

me again!!!
Started this glorious month of May up well before dawn, to a hill in the centre of the city to watch the Morris bring in the May. There's something magical about being up before sunrise, even more so when some daft people are prancing with bells on their ankles, clashing sticks and waving hankies to herald in the beginning of summer. Or something like that (apologies to the non-Brits who have never experienced the Morris Men (think there were more women dancers than men there though!!!). The rest of the day was spent dozing, and a friend cooked dinner.
A march to see some Neolithic long-barrows on the Bank Holiday Monday ended in typical British style - yup, running for cover (a chambered tomb we had to crawl to get into) as the heavens spilt their wares on us.
The last few days have been gorgeously sunny, and the weekend looks fabulous. I, however, have spent the last two days in bed with the most evil of bugs, scratching away at the back of my throat.
Somewhat worryingly I have a 10k race in....ten days, and haven't trained for about as long. This is of some concern.......1 -
oh and congratulations @Machka9 !!!0
-
Hi everyone - and welcome Sarah, congrats Machka - and Yep, it's the Brit in me, but I love Morris dancing...(!)
Well done on our april successes!
I have not posted my end of april results ( I have been a bit overwhelmed by life) but they were good - certainly an improvement on March, and even if I 'failed' on doing something every day, I was certainly even more active , got back into a bit of cycling and some longer sswimming again and learned I could do gentle Excercise on bad health days. Thanks for the challenge,
Goals for May? Not sure. When I originally joined the challenge it was an 'activity' challenge not a '100 miles' challenge. (and I sure as heck cannot swim 100 miles in a month!!) So I need to think up my variation I guess.
You've seen what I do. And my restrictions. Any suggestions?

hey @gentlygently, this isn't such a daft idea as it sounds. How ABOUT swimming the English Channel? You are aiming for a 40 minute swim, how many lengths is that for you? Is it as much as a mile? 21 sessions and you're done? Or even something like, give yourself a mile for each day you are able to be active for more than 30 minutes, and aim for the 21?
go for it!!!1
