Love those "britishisms" Sally. My personal favorite was from a friend who was asked by a hotel man what time she wanted to be "knocked up" in the morning. Definitely interesting terminology for a wake up call for us Yanks!

I am just about over jet lag but it is a hundred degrees here. I am going to try to use the treadmill this weekend and start posting again. Just can't bring myself to walk outdoors. YUCK

LOL LOL now that's funny!!!

i'll probably be back too. i kinda miss wearing the ol' pedometer. i redid my personal charts today and got to thinking how far i've walked. no sense stopping now but i promise myself not to get crazy over. i think i might be back at next week.

Re: Pedometer Challenge 2008~ month to month reporting thread

I am definitely adjusting my pedometer goals until December. This morning i couldn't sleep so i walked at 5:45. By the time I finished an hour later it was already 90 degrees and horrible humidity. I think this is a good time to switch up my exercise routine to include swimming a couple mornings a week.

Luckily there are pools all over the complex so the plan is water aerobics 2 days a week, walk 2 days a week and swim laps or treadmill to fill things out.

Yesterday I did 2000 at late morning. Today, 4 miles and 6475 steps.

Re: Pedometer Challenge 2008~ month to month reporting thread

Hey all,

I have been been tied up all week with bad internet service and art exhibition woes, so I haven't been posting daily but here is my weekly walking

MON 3185
TUES 2900
WEDS 3808
THURS --
FRI 3900
SAT--

I have been trying to put in a couple of miles BEFORE swimming my laps - so I get weight bearing exercise plus a cooling finish in this ungodly heat here. Making the best of it, even though I am not putting in nearly as many miles as in the USA.

Re: Pedometer Challenge 2008~ month to month reporting thread

jill, i'm glad somebody got something done. kudos to you for making the effort to step!

jack and i didn't do any walking on the trail, not once, this past week. pitiful.
we'll try just a bit harder to get some steps in this week.

Re: Pedometer Challenge 2008~ month to month reporting thread

I have convinced my water aerobics partner to make this an every day routine so I will get more miles.
MON - 3826
