with spcdcider and apple blossom (heh , cider and apples) miles we are at 64.59 woohoo

Now, I thought I was pretty familiar with Massachusetts, but while looking up our current locale, I learned something new. I found a town right off rte 90 called, get this, "Little Rest" I wish I had realized sooner, it would have been a great planned rest stop. LOL

We are past Oxford, past Sturbridge and trucking toward Springfield, home of the Basketball Hall of fame (nice tie-in for March)

I am starting to feel like myself, and will be joining all of you tomorrow.

Hello to everyone, you ladies are great, can't wait to join you.

Thanks for the update, Chris! LOL yah Little Rest would have been a great place for a rest stop! I am excited too that we have so many people joining in already and this is only our second day! By the time we get to Seattle I may have to rent a cyberhall for the party so there is room for everyone!!

LOL good point about cider and apple! Sounds like people from WA state LOL. Perhaps we can have some apple cider along the way to give us pep!!! It is nice and healthful which is of course important to all of us!!

Hope I didn't miss anyone! If so please speak up so we can get everyone accounted for. Don't want to leave anyone behind back in Sturbridge!

That's great, Annie.. thanks for helping us move on down the road a bit! You just put us under the 3000 mark, yay!!! I love your Avatar LOL

Woo hoo.... I didn't do too much this morning, but the heel is feeling better, so I'm thinking the stretches and rolling it on a ball are helping, thank goodness. I'd hate for someone to have to drag me across the country . I did 1.5 miles, and don't know if I'll be adding more throughout the day, but will give a total tonight. Hope everyone has a great morning, and looking forward to Springfield.

Dee

I woke up early to exercise. ... but didn't. But I will after work.

I see a question mark on my location, Delaware is where I am. I am going to put a sling on and at least get 3 miles in today. This challenge began with my decision to make changes in my life and not going to let this stop me. Kathy

Sounds as if everyone is off to a great Monday start! Thanks for clarifying the location, Kathy! Hope you do okay with that sling on!! Dee and Jayde, glad you are up and at 'em!! And Michele, wow, you are doing great on the walking.

I am disappointed today that no pedometer. <sigh> But at work I will stay on my regular "path" instead of wandering so I kind of pretty much know how many steps it is.

Dee -- Wow! Marathon! You and YP (Helen) should hook up if you haven't already! You'll get tons of support here!

As for our location. Somewhat north of 90 a bit east of Springfield is Mt Holyoke College, my alma mater! Founded in 1838, it is the oldest continuing college for women in the country! The campus is simply gorgeous, especially in the fall. Mt. Holyoke is part of a 5 college consortium with other local colleges: UMass, Amherst, Hampshire and Smith. The 5 colleges are all located in what we used to refer to as "Happy Valley" -- I miss the beauty of the place!!

Hi ladies, not much to contribute for Sunday. Just 1.88 miles. Don't worry, though! I'm going to find a show to watch this afternoon and walk in place during it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do the Couch to 5K challenge until I get a treadmill because the weather is so wonky this time of year. One day it's hot, the next day it's cold and raining. The next day it's 42 in the sun. The next day it's 87 in the shade. Way too unpredictable to set a workout around it.

Man, you folks start early! Woohoo!!!

I was able to get a bit more in gear yesterday, so I'm going to combine my Saturday and Sunday totals for my contribution. Here we go (I hope rounding to the nearest .50 miles is ok ) :

Date(s): Sat/Sun, March 25/26

Miles walked: 3.50

Total contributed: 3.50


I hear you, Lydia, about wonky weather. Yesterday here it was 45ish and sunny. This afternoon, we may get snow showers. So goes March! I'm sorry it's making problems for your C25K program, though. I know you were looking forward to jumping right in there! Soon, I hope!

You're right, Wyllen, the area around Springfield is stunning, especially in the fall!

Today: 4 miles!

Hi everyone!

I just went and signed up on your sticky. I'd love to join y'all if you don't mind. This will be fun. The only way I've ever crossed the country is in an airplane. A virtual walking tour sounds like just the ticket.

Anyway, I did 2 miles this morning.

cheers!
