Oh dear, I'm getting a bit behind - big update at the weekend, well done everyone! 🙂
 
Susie mascot says that she is very pleased to say that she has gone walking for fifty minutes every day:D but unfortunately none of the walks were with me🙄 she would also like to say that the anti inflammatories have improved her back so much that her vocal talents are now also back to normal😱
 
I ended up doing another 10km on my rower today, but it was split into a 2km, 5km and 3km stints. I was getting too overheated!! 😱

By the way, the cables came today and I've had it plugged into my laptop. Had it running with a pace boat (the software was free and is very basic ... going to see if I can find something a bit more whizzy!).

My first time posting here but i can proudly say i have cycled 21 miles this week 🙂
 
Susie and I are pleased to add another 50 minute walk
 
Not sure how far I walked at the weekend but I walked for about 3 hours, slowly though. Maybe about 5 miles or so on Sunday, also did a day of bird watching on Saturday so maybe about 1.5 miles then too. How far have we got?
 
We walked a lot over the weekend and my peddy thingy worked it out at 7.4 miles. Amazing how easy it is when you have good company.
 
Well, after finally getting round to working it out, I have discovered that we have travelled a phenomenal 362k, taking us from the Hook of Holland, all the way through Belgium to Luxembourg, stopping at 7 of our destinations along the way!

Keep up the good work everyone! 🙂
 
Time to add some more distance then 🙂

Some more distance on the pedometer:

7559
5936
5544
5633
3955 (Oh dear, it rained and I wimped out about going out)
 
Did 2.5 miles on Monday and Tuesday, about 25 feet yesterday. Might manage a whole 250 yards today.
 
Going a little slower on the rowing. Trying to build myself up slowly to keep my motivation.

So, 12km over three days can be recorded.

Andy 🙂

It might not seem a lot to anyone else but I was really pleased with my 30 walk to the shops today.....first time I've walked that far on my own for at least 3 weeks

Click to expand...

In order to get to 300, you need to get through 30. And so on.

Sounds like a hurdle jumped over to me. 🙂

Well done!

Andy 🙂
