Urockmom, that's really great that you got your workout in, even if it was later than usual. 8.75 miles is awesome! :carrot:

Lewis & Zeta, keep up the great work! :)

Managed my full 90 minutes today......in about 4" of new loose snow. It's so cold here I really have to move to keep me from freezing up!!!

Thanks for the comments on my mileage. I'm using 4 a day.

Walking in the woods is not scarey......it's like everything else once you get used to it you're not frightened by it. (When I see fresh bear skat in the summer I do look about and begin to make noise and move more quickly for sure. :) Now the bears are not out and about and it's fun to see all the traffic that shares my trails......moles, mice, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, fox and either a large dog or a lynx is active along the way. I know we have lynx, I've seen them when driving home from town but they are so shy I've never seen more than what might be a paw print in the snow when walking. I love walking/hiking where no one else goes.......it's soooo peaceful.

Lewisempire~Thanks for the dust. I really need it! I didn't get any miles in at all over the weekend and have tons of stuff to do this morning. I am hoping to get to the gym later today. MUST keep moving in December!

Timlin~I think your walks sound lovely. Mental health + physical health :yay:

luvmyinnerdemon~ :welcome3: glad to have you join us and congrats on starting the c25k!

Zeta & Esperanza~Awesome job ladies!! Keep up the good work! :carrot:

Hopefully, I'll post later with a mileage update :)

I will join 50 miles in December. I haven't kept track of my miles so far this month, so I will start at 0 today. Since the it gets dark so early I am finding it much harder to get my miles in.

Timlin 12-08-2008 04:14 PM

I dug my way through a new snowfall of loose snow.....gah!!!! 4 miles behind me and I bet if I weighed myself I'd be down a bit just from the persperation...and it's -10C out there! Thank God for mp3 player and the book I'm listening to.

EsperanzaBella82 12-09-2008 11:51 AM

Wow...so much activity. Love it! :D

Weekend was really bad intentional exercise-wise, but I did get a lot of activity in on Sunday playing at the park for 3 hours w/ my puppy. Can't count that tho. ;)

I got back into the exercise groove yesterday.

Last night:

2.5 mile walk/jog (C25k W1D3...on to week 2!)

December Mileage Total: 18.75/90

Am either heading to the gym today for some bike/elliptical work or am taking a 4-5 mile walk. Gotta get those miles in!

Timlin, on second thought your walks in the woods sound lovely too. I grew up in urban areas, and now live in the desert (Arizona), so never really got to experience wooded areas. I guess the only thing I do that comes close to your walks are my hikes in the mountains. It's good hiking weather right now for us too! :sunny: I have to admit that I don't really miss snow. :p

Zeta, urockmom, Lewis, you all are doing phenomenally! :yay:

:welcome: lisa and luvmyinnerdemon! I love this challenge. The girls here are super motivating!

Lewisempire 12-09-2008 03:11 PM

3.9 miles yesterday before I went to work. I am hoping to get that to be a new habit. I sure felt better, and more energetic at work last night!
Total=======>16.3/59!!
WELCOME LISA! You are gonna love this one! Logging my miles keeps me so motivated, I hope it does the same for you!

Dec 9: 5.5 miles on elliptical

LewisEmpire~Sounds like a good plan to get in some exercise before work-even though I know you are walking @ work. Way to kick it girl!

Esperanza~Dec is just hard to get the exercise in. That's why we're here!!! Great job getting back on track after the weekend.

Timlin~Awesome job through the snow!! I am thinking about getting snow shoes with some Christmas present money. Any recommendations?

Lisa & luvmyinnerdemon~What's happening girls? Are you movin'?

I am going to try to get a swim in today. So that will be few miles but much effort!!! Have a great one everyone!

Lewisempire 12-10-2008 04:15 PM

Hi girls, I can't believe it I finally got a big chunk of miles in! I don't want to get left behind. December is hard to keep going, thanks to you all for your help, and support! I walked for 6 miles before work last night! Total 22.3/59
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!
