April Move your @ss Challenge

Rode 10 miles on my stationary bike yesterday and rode another 10 miles today making it 50 miles for the month!

Ack! I've been sick since Friday :sad:
and the weather hasn't been conducive for bicycling :sad:
and my bike isn't working right :sad:
and...and...and....just :sad:

I've managed to get some miles in on foot, but I've lost valuable time. I knew my goals would be a challenge, but I didn't factor in complications and obstacles. Oh well, they don't call it a challenge for nothin'. It'll be a stretch, but I'll keep at it. Everyone else seems to be doing great!

but...but...but....just :flowerforyou:

I think a lot of us are feeling like our goals are really looking too big right now. I know I am, but I keep reminding myself it's only the 11th of the month - still plenty of time to catch up. You can do this!!!

Short sprint this morning, ran 1.98 in 15 minutes before my weight lifting session.

And this is why they call YOU Speedy and my name is jonny. Very impressive run - WTG!!!

@johnnyb62: Thanks, but we could also call you Speedy Gonzales when you're doing your sprint :laugh:

You are both an inspiration to me. I've starting adding some HIIT to my runs so I can try to keep up with you guys, though I know I'll never catch you.

@gehlerc - my goal is looking pretty daunting to me too right now, and I didn't have the flu. Let's push on and see how we do ... we're in this together.

4 more miles for me today.

catching up...

Did some elliptical and walking!

Hey all--

I love this challenge for so many reasons, but the biggest one is the sense of community. Thanks so much for your words of encouragement and support. :flowerforyou:

vhuber's Montana-like winds have subsided a bit here in Wisconsin, so I got on my bike! Since I'm still recovering from this cold / flu thing---wait for it---I biked today while my nose ran. :laugh:

16.6 miles biked; walked the dog for only 2 miles, since he chewed through his regular leash and we had to improvise. :ohwell:

Progress toward my goal! Keep up the great moving, everyone!

11 miles done so far and I am hoping to get to 100 miles by the end of the month. Joining a gym with my wonderful sister-in-law tomorrow so hopefully that will help me boost it up over 100 miles.

Biked 11.65 miles today. Tickers updated...
