    Day 4 28/8 - 4735 - 155 = 4580.

    Had a lovely and active day today. Yoga and a unexpected beach tennis tournament plus a bit of dancing. Feeling relaxed and exhausted. The gym at the hotel is awesome. If I wake up on time I'm going to try pilates tomorrow!

    6716 minutes -/- by 123 days = 54 kilo-minutes of exercise each day!

    29 August 6530 - 60 walking = 6310 kilo/mins remaining.
    The number is going down slowly but it is still going down.

    Hi....I'm a bit late to the party, but I'd like to join in on this one! I've got 601km (approx 374 miles - Oxfordshire to Glasgow, UK) which I don't think will be possible, but I'm up for seeing how close I can get to it!

    I don't drive at the moment, so I already track my walking everyday and use mapmywalk to track times + distance, so I'm excited to see how I get one, and how everyone else does too!

    Good luck everyone! :)

    The more the merrier. So glad you can join.

    Guys I am really sorry I haven't posted in a couple days. My gallbladder attacks are getting worse and it's hard to do anything. I see a surgeon on Friday and hopefully get this dang thing out soon so I can hit it hard.

    I like the idea of this challenge.....I think I won't try to walk home as that's 847 miles. I think I'll go for about 300 miles. Sometimes my schedule gets hectic and I can either walk or do my DDPYoga. So 300 seems a good amount in the next 3ish months. :smiley:

    So yesterday was terrible. :disappointed: I had planned on going to the Y and treadmill like a crazy lady but instead wound up having to run unexpected errands and getting hardly ANY steps in . *sigh*
    300 - 1.25miles = 298.75 to go.

    I had two gallbladder attacks last night. I did not want to do nothing but the miles wont go down if I don't. I got a mile in. It took an hour to walk with two toddlers but we had fun.

    165 miles to go.

    I give you credit. I don't think I would have still walked after that

    I wouldn't have been able to! Gallbladder attacks are awful! I am so glad they took my gallbladder out!

    I have a Surgery date!!!!!!!!! Two weeks from today I go have this thing out. I am scared but so relieved at the same time. I asked her and she said I can start walking again a few days after surgery. Until that date I will get what I can in. Today I got one mile.

    Don't be scared. I had mine out a few years ago. Nothing to it and I felt so much better!! It felt like some pulled muscles after for a few days and then after a week I was back to all my normal activities! It will be just fine!

    I would love to join your challenge but I live in the same city as my mom, where I go for Christmas!

    Hope everything goes well for you and you have a speedy recovery!
