getting in late but I can try. I walk some but mostly bike(we don't have a car and I don't use public transport unless it is raining or snowing) and use the elliptical. Can I use those instead of walking?
Duck, I defer to Josephine for all questions of this sort. My guess is that she would say everyone's welcome and any sort of exercise is better than none!
Did 6 yesterday. Total so far 20.5. Today I'm going to take a Nia class. So, I will not be logging mileage. (I would if I were behind my goal, however..)
This may sound ridiculous, but my purpose in taking this class is to see if I cry. I got teary the last time I took it, but shut the emotion down repeating to myself... just concentrate on the steps...
Today, I am going to let my body do what ever it needs to do. Wish me luck. I don't want to curl up in a fetal ball heaving and sobbing

Welcome DaDuck! And that's exactly what I'd say! Get out there (or in the gym!) and get some mileage, get sweaty, and have some fun!
I don't count my own cycling mileage because I rack up those miles really fast, but I've got no problem if that is what you want to count!
6 mile run for me this morning, it was really beautiful out.
Got rained out of my walk last night, and couldn't face the treadmill after walking outside for a week . Started out, got about 6 houses and it started to pour!!. Got back out this AM for 2 miles, though . Up to a total of 19.8. Oh, what the heck, I'll give myself .1 for the mini walk last night. 19.9!!!
I almost feel bad for taking last night off...but i won't let it bother me too much. I am planning 4 miles tonight. So...i will report back tomorrow morning.
Kitty, what is a Nia class, I've never heard of it? And why does it make you cry?
It is a movement class and somehow emotions get released with the movements. Similar to Yoga's body/spirit nature. (I don't often yoga for the same reason-who wants to fight tears if a w/o is needed?)
Anyway, I actually spoke with the instructor and warned him that I thought I'd be crying. We had this talk about letting things "go". I even got weepy thinking about getting weepy. I totally prepped for this class in terms of giving myself permission to "go there" if that was what my body wanted/needed to do... (a spiritual/emotional w/o if you will)
And guess what?? Nothing happened! Who knows, maybe giving myself permission was enough or maybe I just didn't need it right then...
But I'll tell you, I was actually disappointed!! The workout was just ok too. Apparently Thurs. is his least challenging class. Who knew??
I'll be out there tomorrow, early in the am with you runners. I'll tell you that!!
WO, great disorder to have!!
