Got in 3 miles on bike last night.
Today at work I spent the better part of 3 hours moving, pressing, grinding and mixing 1600 pounds of hay for the cows...I figure all that was worth at least 2 miles conservatively, so that what I'm giving myself.
So adding 5 here, and once I "chill out" and get rested for awhile and tehn get my chores done here at home, I'll see what, if anything, I can get in tonight...tired, long day...

Ok, I was one of the MIA on this thread... :o

I fell waaaay behind in my Trek Obligations! But I'm getting my butt in gear! 40 minutes on the elliptical machine o' death today. More to come!

Questions: Did we set up an official start point on our Trek? Do we have any international, non-USA people trekking? I think it would be fun to set up a point-of-origin and watch us go across the globe ;) We could take breaks and get food and drink specific to our current locale hehehe! Ok, I'm a little food-obsessed, ya know. Or we could just get a tee-shirt and some cute fridge magnets! Or a tiny plate to put on our wall.... Hmmm!

i'm gonna log 10 miles for the weekend. we just returned from our trip to cappedocia. today we climbed around in an underground city that was 7 layers deep. the tunnels were dug several hundred years bc. we did that for about 2 hours. yesterday we hiked for an hour in the lower mountains. the snow made it a little more challenging. the day before we hiked for about 20 minutes. so, if i have it right, this would be 10 miles.

Okay....logging in my 30 minute return to the glider. It's so much more boring when you're sober! :smoking:

And STAR: After the CNN news story about the health benefits of well, you know....I think we should start to allow that as aerobic exercise -- don't you? I think quite a few of us could bump up our totals enough to get us around the equator a few times at the very least. :devil:

I didn't know we were counting THAT, either!! I think we could all up our totals quite a bit if we included that... (or at least a little). I'll just add on my 20-minute walk and 40 minutes on the glider, for three miles.

What is the Equator Challenge ?
Is it too late to participate?
Thanks ,
Brenda

Brenda, The Equator Trek Challenge is open to anyone. Basically we log our "miles" of exercise each day to try and get around the "equator" this year. I can give you a run down of a few things but someone else may have to add anything I miss.

If you have a machine that counts miles or track etc just post miles run/walked/biked/stepped. If you do not we are going by a general 20 min = 1 mi. Jump right in, we'd be glad to have you!!!

For me Monday night - ran/walked 2 mi - weight trained for 1 hour (3 mi)

I'd like to join in. But I don't remember what I did the last time I was on the treadmill. So will make sure to keep track from now on :)

Thank you to Star for opening up a whole new avenue for exercise miles. LOL!!! :o

Of course, when you're the full-time working mother of a toddler AND you're temporarily living with your mother in her unfinished (read: no doors) basement, THAT is not exactly a convenient exercise. We're lucky we have blinds on the windows!!

I walked another 30 minutes today!

HI All,
Thanks for the welcome.
I just logged 40 minutes on my elliptical so I guess thats 2 miles .
Feels like 20 though :)

Walked for 2 miles, 30 min of Pilates, and then 60 minutes of Kickboxing! Total miles today would be 6.5 miles!

VanIsle ~ Welcome, I went ahead and added your miles in to the total! When you have miles to report, all that you have to do is copy and paste the list, and then enter your miles, and then of course, add away! ;)

Sorry everyone.
