    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 <3

    :

    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?
    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!

    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

    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: 417.83 km (259.6 miles) = 40 hours 23 min

    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. :)

    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!!
