Blyn, 34 miles added to our total all at once. We were flying for a minute there!! Did anyone get dizzy?
Still jogging on the mill. My legs are still sore but somehow they don't hurt so much during the workout. Also did a bit of jump roping at recess with the kids. They think it is cool that I power jump with my own rope. Many of them have started to do the same. Challenging me and each other. I hope I can keep up!
OMG, I just typed a very long detailed message, and when Iwent to post it I got a message saying I wasn't logged in. Of course I hadn't copied it or anything, UGH!
Any way, I will re post later, but in the meantime I have exciting news. We have walked 1,078.80 miles, that include my 32 miles from the past several days. All I have to say is wow, amazing, suprising, and keep up the great work.
We have just passed Janesville, WI and we are heading toward Madison, WI.
Off to my son's socceer game and then to the track to add to that total. Have a great Saturday.

Thanks for the great info! LOL too bad we have to stay away from that cheese on the way through! Sounds as if we are about to head into a lovely place in Madison!! Looking forward to cyberseeing it!!
Didn't have a good day at ALL yesterday! The kids at school were REALLY off the wall and I didn't get my usual steps in. I tried to do a 3 mileWATP and had to stop after 1 mile. I just didn't feel right. Not sick, but odd. So I went to bed early (before 8:30) and got a good night's sleep. Hopefully, I am back to my old self this morning and can get at least 4 miles of fitness walking done! I'm also going shopping, since I have the weekend to myself! I'm looking for a new scale and some 5 pound weights, plus (hopefully) some spring clothes!

Miles for that time: 1.09 miles
Total number of steps/miles, to date in the challenge: 53.74 miles
Taking it easy yesterday and today because tomorrow I'm going to Sea World again. I'm going to exercise today, but I think I'll be doing mostly stretching and weights in order to build myself up for tomorrow.
It's also fun to note that since 2/25/06 (when I recieved my pedometer), I have walked a total of 113.56 miles. In that time, I've also lost nearly 10 pounds! This month alone I've lost 3 pounds with my primary form of exercise being walking. Slow and steady wins the race, and I've learned to love walking so much!
Michele, I think sometimes our bodies just need a break from the hard workouts. I have days like that too... just kind of crash and recuperate -- then hard at it again!! You are doing just great.
Lydia, yippee... I know what you mean about loving to go walking! I am having to force myself not to today as there is just so much to do at home and I want to get this place organized a bit before my niece comes out next month for her visit and our cruise! Plus our kids at church are having a fund raising yard sale for some of their youth stuff and I have a bunch of stuff I need to box up and take to them tomorrow!
But hey, I will get exercise house cleaning and I do have my pedometer in my pocket! Wow how did I ever make it without this awesome Omron one? There is just no comparison to all the others I bought, and several of them cost more!! I love it!!!!! Have adapted to having to wear it in my pocket LOL.
Yeah for me. I broke my consistency. I did many more miles today. I could have kept walking. It was so nice out today. I can't wait to get a peometer so I can track all of my steps throughout the day. I am hoping to get more miles tomorrow. I am wanting to take Emily to the park. Gotta walk alot this next week. Emily's turning 4 on May 1st and I want to make sure I can have atleast one piece of cake.
Days that the steps or miles were logged: 4/22
Steps/miles for that time: 3.5 miles
Total number of steps/miles, to date in the challenge: 57.5 miles
I had a good walking day yesterday! Between the 3 fitness miles and shopping, I had over 15000 steps! Hoping for an equally good day today! The family won't be home til this afternoon, so I'm planning on doing the 5 mile in a little while. That will push me over 10000 without any other walking. Plus I have quite a bit of tidying and chores to do around the house.
Sounds as if we are about to head into a lovely place in Madison!! Looking forward to cyberseeing it!!
