Another 100 miles


Let's see if I can make this one

I did 95 miles walking and biking the first three months of this year, except that I didn't start until 2 weeks into the period, and I was completely out of commission for two weeks with bronchitis. So, I did those 95 miles in 9 weeks. (A three-month period has 13 weeks, remember?)

I hope to do the full 100 miles this time around, and to do more of them walking (IOW, spend more time exercising). Possible obstacles:

• The end of the school year means an increase in activities. Although I do my exercising while the kids are in school, I may lose that time to household chores that I would ordinarily have time for after school, but not with the end-of-year commitments.
•
• The kids have their last day of school right before Labor Day, which means I don't have to get out of bed and cleaned up by any particular hour during the month of June. The only day I made it to the Y during spring break was the day I had Pilates class. They don't hold such classes during the summer because they need the space for day campers.
•
• I have company coming during April and maybe May. I'd certainly rather spend time with them than at the Y... (grin)

But we'll give it a go.

My new ticker reflects the instigator of the diet and exercise: a week in Hawaii in July. I am seriously motivated not to look like a sausage where someone tried to put too much meat in the casing.

Oh, I changed the category name a bit. This seems like the right sort of place to talk about health, but the title didn't really reflect that. And if you scroll down-blog and notice the new category pic on old entries, well that's an iBlog "feature."
