welcome to the club bep! 
you don't have to do it everyday. you don't even have to do it. it's just something we started to help motivate club members to move more. you don't have to walk, you can run, cycle, row, step. Anything. If you keep track of the distance, just subtract it from the last total.

I Ran Up The Hill
I have a hill that I try to run up once a month or so. Sometimes more sometimes less. I think it had been a couple of months since my last try. Its a very steep hill, very steep. Today I made it, what a feeling of satisfaction. No one is around so when I made it to the top I screamed & did the Rocky thing.
Welcome, bep Just start where your at & enjoy the journey.

Hey Everyone
Bep - Welcome to the forum, it's great to see you here!
Chip - Great job with the hill! I'd be doing the Rocky Dance too!!
I'm home from camping - it was gorgeous in Santa Barbara! I was gone Monday through Thursday and came home weighing 9 pounds more then when I left.
I'm hoping my scale just went hay wire Seriously, I drank some, snacked on "Happy Hour" snacks two of the nights, but ate reasonable breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm hoping it's just all the extra salt in take, my cycle, and maybe even a broken scale I'll know more in a few days once my body gets back on track.
The good news is I had a really beautiful walking trail I won't count the 125 steps to the beach (each way, at least 6 times UP them), but I have put in 19.9 miles for a total of 31.84 kms! My goal was to do 20 miles, so I'm close
Which brings our total to...
1815.27!

Bep - welcome to the thread
Tman - congratulations on "running up that hill" (actually title of a Kate Bush/ Peter Gabriel song). BTW I would be doing the Rocky dance whether anyone was watching or not
M2M - great job on the KMs. 125 steps each way down and up you say. You can actually double the steps if you factor in the little known scientific principle "the mule factor".Simply put it is when person X ( the person climbing the steps, usually female) carries not only all of her own items, but some items of person Y (usually male, adult, spouse) and items belonging to persons Z and Z1 ( usually offspring) . Please note the steps can be quadrupled if either person Z or Z1 is carried as well.

Oh AC! If only I could have applied that mathmatic theory!
Yes, 125 steps, each way, BUT I didn't carry much. Megan carried the one towel we shared and her boogie board, and I carried the bag with our food and 72 oz of water Some of those trips were even empty handed! It was such a beautiful walk!
Speaking of walks - I added up my miles for last week and I walked 34.9 miles for the week - I'm stunned!
As of this week, I started with 4.7 this morning for 7.52 kms which brings our total to...
1807.75

M2M - the "mule factor applies to me every summer because my children are 4 and 6, so they all want to take bodyboards, sand buckets and shovels etc, hubby carries beach umbrella and chairs, I'm left to carry everything else! Hopefully this summer children are a year older and can carry own bodyboards (Oh and I like to bodyboard as well, so I have my own board to carry!)
I embarrass easy, I turned red when I got those replies about my rocky dance. Today day off from running.
M2M, A lot of miles good job
Saturday Miles
Ran 4 miles today (6.4 KMS.) / 48:00 / 7:00 AM / 70 - 70 Degrees / Nice and cool (still 5 degrees above normal). It was really tough to keep going.
Not eating well, if I would just start eating healthy the pounds will start dropping off quick. I'm ready for that, I finally don't have the stress of homes not closing (I'm a Realtor & if homes don't close I don't get paid.). I really think that has been the reason I have been over eating (not getting paid). It has been some time since I have had sugar. I'll have to look but I think it has been at least 4 weeks. I think that is the only thing saving me.

Tman - congrats on sugar free days. Could you or someone please explain to me what exactly is 'sugar free'? Are you talking about added sugar or white bread, soft drinks, chocs etc.?
