JenJen n StillTryin, You ladies have really done awesome this month. WTG

MakeYour Own Plans, Watch for the May challenge and jump right in. This is a great group of people who will encourage you along the way.

Cakeses, You've rocked it out in April too. Glad you were able to manuever through the rocks w/o getting hurt!

Ennay, You always blow me away with the big numbers you rack up. I remember how difficult finding the time to exercise was when my children were younger. I surely hope you're proud of yourself.

Baskgal, You surpassed goal. That's totally hip chick!!

EZ, I twisted a couple tops of my own last night!! Any 5K's planned for this weekend?

This weekend's all about dance recital for my youngest daughter and it starts already today with tech rehearsal. It'll take exercise and bottle cap twisting to get through.....ah, but it's worth it. She's just so darn cute!

1 hour and 45 minutes hiking through the woods today. It was terrific. Just me and the dog and I found dug roads I'd never been on before. I actually ended up coming out in someones back yard when I thought for sure I was heading to another corn or hay field! Whoops!
Have a great day!

26 hours and 15 minutes of 30 hours

Hi Gals ~ Angie and I got back a few minutes ago from a 3 miler with the dogs. I got home a little before her and took off with them, thinking she was running today, I saw her pull in the driveway...next thing I knew she was with us running gear and all! She knows I let the dogs "sniff" around for awhile. She had a walk planned today and a big run tomorrow. Good to have her company!

LOVNMOM the only 5K Angie and I have planned for the week-end is our normal 5K to Starbucks...we may do a walk at the college, a fundraiser...not sure...this one is kind of a "wing it". Angie has a half marathon/relay next week-end with her sister.

Looks like I will be a little short maybe....nah! I will get 5 tomorrow somehow!!

70/75 MILES

An easy 1.5 mile walk tonight rounds me out to goal for the month, with one day left to go. I am pleased I made it this time, but I want to do more. I took 14 days OFF this month - I mean come on! I can totally do 50-60 miles if I just walk or run every day or at least 6 days a week and don't take so many days off! Anyways, I am just going to slowly increase the mileage and see how I do!

40.25/40

Thanks lovenmom - good be reminded that hiking in the woods is exercise. I should plan to get off the treadmill and outdoors more often.

I'm aiming for 40 miles this month walking or jogging.

thanks Lovnmom! ...dont look at the state of my house though

This short week
Tues - 3.6 am, 5.5 pm
Wed - 8.2

For a grand total and my highest month ever
183.0/165
6.6/10 strollering - stupid hail/rain/snow

4 miles with a friend today for another hour. That's probably all I will do today. That's ending the month a little short, but my intention with the 30 hours was to try and do something every day. As I look over my exercise calendar for April I have only 6 days blank. I know none of those days were spent just lying around so I'm happy with April's results. I also lost my 1# for the month goal so, once again a big shout out to all of you for helping me stay on track. I would not be able to do it w/o the support I get from all of you!!

27 hours and 15 min of 30 hours

I MADE IT!

I made my goal for the month with a 5 mile day today. When I got home from work Angie was just about to go running for her 5 miles...so I grabbed the mutts...we all took off...Angie on the run and me and the girls sniffing the new news! Angie did 3.5 and caught us at the 1.5 mile turnaround. We all walked home from there. When we got home Angie stretched and did yoga for a half hour and I finished up with 2 miles on the treadmill!

You have all done so well! I am proud of all of you...it was a successful month and we didn't lose LOVNMOM in the woods!

75/75 MILES!

see you in MAY

3.0 miles today, so I most definitely finished out over, yay!

43.25/40

oops forgot to add my evening walk, another 2.5 miles!

45.75/40

I did another 11 miles this week (Mon, Tues, & Weds) so my total is

57.75/45.

I'll probably sit out for May because I'm going to try to focus on weights & swimming (yes, I've said this for the past 2 months!)

Lovnmom, thanks for the well wishes!

Congrats to everyone for keeping on moving!!!
