MAY 2016 Walk, Hike, Bike, Run, jog 100+ Mile challenge

@ girlinahat yes the mind does work in ways of our exercise. Some of my biggest disappointments in my rides has been when I started off thinking I need 30+ miles tonight. At about 17 miles I got to thinking how far I had to go, the wind seems strong, my legs just don't have it today........... and I ended short. I have found that 17 miles is easy now for me so I start off thinking I'll get to 17, then I find I feel pretty good, well I'll turn down this road and go to the river, get to the river and I'll ride into town and get a beer. I roll back home at 31 miles and find the wind 6 mph stronger than the previous day I ended. Every mile above 17 is a bonus and not a destination.0

Ok thanks Steve, Girlina. - Not started on greasing up for the cold, long plunge, but pondering still..... But the record to date:
1 May - at the beach, some walking etc. (Over 10k steps)
2 May - more walking - in the rain - (almost 10k steps)
3 May - another 30 mins plus day of walking, gardening etc. (Over 10k steps)
4 May - swim 1 k, cycle there and back, school 'run' etc - 400 cals burn day
5 May - swim with daughter and lots of walking to and from pool, picking up car from garage, out voting, etc (12k steps) -400 cals burn day
6 May - mmmm er.... Well, I ate a lot of chocolate, does jaw excercise count?

Hi 100+ Mile Challengers!
I'm not new to MFP (although from my lack of weight loss at this moment, it would be hard to prove otherwise) but new to this group and would like to join. A little late in the month, but I'll target 100 miles total, including swimming (it all adds up).
So far this month:
May 1: Swim 1.5 mi Bike 12.5 mi
May 2: Wog (Walk/jog) 5 mi
May 3: Walk 2 mi.
May 4: Bike 10 mi. An hour of dancing (Any way to judge linear distance by amount of sweat? If so, it would be longer than the bike ride.)
May 5-6: Plane rides: 4,108 miles with perhaps a mile of sprinting between terminals
May 7: Bike 15 miles

Welcome @Zelandais
Now, while we tend to be very accommodating in terms of different peoples abilities and achievements, I DO think any form of motorised transport shouldn't count towards your total......
As to dancing- I dance Lindy hop, but wear a fitbit so count steps from it and miles based on that. I uploaded that could be said to be cheating as a lot of the steps are small and on the spot, but like you I consider the sweat to be a good indicator!!!
Welcome to the team, and welcome to other newbies. Get MOVING!!1 -

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.

What Steve said is true. When I first started walking I would hate it. At the end of the day it was rewarding BUT I was already dreading the next day! Sometimes we are our own worst enemy! TODAY I LOVE WALKING but I still have days I feel a bit tired having too do it. Some days we just have a day like that here and there. It is that we DO NOT GIVE UP EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 7th...........5.0 Walking Miles
May 8th...........2.0 Walking Miles (Sunday's are so hard!)
TOTAL THUS FAR AS OF MAY 8TH..........31.0 Walking Miles
a LOT too do today. Will try and log on tonight for todays progress. Will not have computer access the next two weeks BUT I AM STILL HERE in spirit. I will STILL be walking and I WILL log progress when I return...
you guys keep up the GREAT WORK

1 May - at the beach, some walking etc. (Over 10k steps)
2 May - more walking - in the rain - (almost 10k steps)

7 May - over 10k steps, in the Cotswolds
8 May - not much
9 May - 1k at the pool and biking there and back - 400 cals burn day.
Ok - it's a bit late to set my goal for the month. And I know I'm not swimming the channel... (!) But given today's doctor's health check included the advice to lose 10lb (yep, it was kind of expected....but at least I am not gaining any more...) I have decided to 'burn' 35000 cals as quickly as I can. No need to get into eat back excercise cals debate, as this is purely symbolic...any day that I burn more than 350 calls counts, and all other days I hope to walk for 30 mins. 0nly 100 to log then. It'll keep me going for a while...!!
For my records:
Usual 1k swim plus bike/walk transport
Walk for 90 mins plus
Cycle for 60 mins plus
Tai chi and bike/walk transport (first class tomorrow..)?
So far for May
burn 350 cals plus: 3 out of 9 this month. (3 out of 100 total since May)
30 mins min: 4 out of 9
And welcome newbies - great to have more active folk with us!

a poor start to the month of May, beginning with the first few days with a bad cold/tonsillitis etc. Still trying to get over it, and sadly my totals so far this month are still in single figures for miles!!
Unlikely to be running a 10k this weekend, as I haven't trained for nearly three weeks and am woefully behind. However I have signed myself up for a 7.5k trail race in mid-July - plenty of time to get training!!
