would bathing a 160 pound dog who has no intention of being bathed count?

okay, I'll count it! and it was, believe me. like wrestling with a panicky and smelly yeti.
so, for 7/28: dog bathing combined with yoga and calisthenics: 1 hour, 10 minutes. my push ups were pathetic today.

24 July, another 4 minutes getting to and from the chippy!
25 July: 28 minutes to work; 35 minutes getting home. Total of 1 hour 3 minutes.
26 July: 28 minutes to work; 36 minutes into town; 22 minutes getting home after giving blood; 7 minutes walking up to ringing; and 10 minutes walking back. No ringing, as with a brand new hole in my arm that would have been a Bad Thing™. Total of 1 hour 43 minutes.
27 July got a bit more energetic (briefly!). 28 minutes to work; 44 minutes to the library by using the canal route; 9 minutes getting home; 17 minutes to the Friday tower; about 2 minutes ringing up; 41 minutes ringing a quarter peal for the Olympics in the evening instead of at 8am ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) ; about 30 minutes of general ringing; 5 minutes over to see the parents; 20 minutes getting home again. Total of 3 hours 16 minutes.
28 July, the only walking I did was between carpark and pub, so a big fat zero for Saturday.
29 July: 10 minutes to church, 15 minutes ringing; 10 minutes back. That's 35 minutes so far today.
Total this post 6 hours 41 minutes, new running total 34 hours 48 minutes.

3 hours 20 minutes walking yesterday, all the way to Barbès to pick up some stuff for a sewing project. Got the bus back and took another detour on the way home for groceries.
Just 40 minutes walking today. I was planning to walk all the way home from church but it was raining.

Posted to here, declaring 60 minutes of the 2½ hours I spent out walking yesterday - too much waiting for the farmer to come near, then sprinting back again.
Today 7½ miles walk that took 2½ hours (well, nearer 3½ hours but I'm taking off an hour for photography) and 20 minutes rush to supermarket and back - total 2 hours 50 minutes

Friday, July 27th (cont)
40 mins walking home via the shop for teatime veggies
90 mins dog walking
Saturday, July 28th
20 mins cycling to and from supermarket
120 mins dog walking
Sunday, July 29th
30 mins walking dog
10 mins cycling to church
20 mins walking to lunch
30 mins cycling home
60 mins walking dog

30 mins walking dog

That two-hour walk on Saturday was brutal. Off we went in our T-shirts and shorts in the sunshine. Half an hour in it started raining and didn't stop for another hour. We sheltered at a garden centre with scones and tea, it was our original destination and probably the only reason we didn't give up earlier on. Fortunately no-one seems to have come down with anything, probably because when we got home the dog was towelled off and left next to a radiator and the people went and had baths.

Teagnome I make you 2 hours out - total 27 hours 31 minutes
I can say I did 60 minutes reasonable lick walking today - seeking out allotments to take pictures - broken into smaller amounts
There are quite a few people to post times still. Can we ask the hosts to keep this open to the end of this week please, so people like Yangtze and Ultracrepidarian can add their times?

I rock!
yesterday, 7/29, was looking like a bit of a dud. I got called in to work at the bar after the play to cover for a few hours and figured I was skunked. but the band was GREAT. so when I clocked out at 10, I started dancing and kept going until 1 am. woot! so much fun. I need to have an excuse to dance everyday, I'd be half my current size.
anyway, taking into account the band's one break, I can log 2 hours, 40 minutes of good, heavy duty dancing. feels great!

Friday 27th 70 minutes cycling and I reckon I can probably count 5 minutes of the walking I did.
Saturday walked a fair bit - but all too leisurely to make the grade.
Sunday 28th went for a walk that would normally take me 35 minutes each way. Out was slower than normal with family and chatting, but I had to dash back to get the dinner on leaving the others to their own devices - so made it back in 25 minutes. I reckon 50 minutes is a reasonable claim.
running total 23hrs 45minutes with one day to go.

long walk with boys and dogs. we wandered all over, and at a good clip because the youngest was on his bike. 1 hour, 45 minutes. I skipped out on more dancing because I can't stand the idea of going out. it would require clothing.

Well I think it's safe to say that TTP has disappeared in a cloud of dust, but I shall aim at a worthy second place ![[Biased]](wink.gif)
2 hours 15 minutes walking yesterday and 1 hour 10 minutes running (9 minutes miles* ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif) ) this morning.
*yeah yeah I know it's not that fast really. But it is fast for me to keep up that pace for that long.

20 mins walking to work
Total to add: 130 minutes or 2 hours and 10 minutes
Total so far: 4070 minutes or 67 hours and 50 minutes
Last day. Homeward stretch. Could be an odd one as I have a cinema trip planned so will have to squeeze walking the dog in around that. Might make me leave my desk at a reasonable time, I suppose. And the transport minutes will be a boost.
I think I'll let my flatmate deal with the morning dog walks for a few days once the race is over.

Last post of the month, unless I get overtaken by an attack of extreme restlessness.
Just a walk this time - trying out some brand new boots - about 9 miles or so - 2 h 50 m.
Maybe a pushing of the luck, but in the event, boots were great.

Golly, it appears that the last time I posted times was Sunday 8th - that's further back that even I thought.
My dodgy ankle which I turned again back in June has been really painful, so exercise has been limited to a bit of commuter walking and outrigger canoeing. Really should get more into swimming.
Have done these as weekly summaries to make life a bit easier for CK
w/b 9th July
140 mins commuter walking
80 mins outrigger canoeing
w/b 16th July
160 mins commuter walking plus
120 mins walking around all over Hackney for the One Hackney Parade, local farmers market, another local market and the Olympic Torch procession
w/b 23 July
210 mins walking up and down the beach plus
60 mins swimming and jumping around in the sea (in shorter bursts) plus
110 mins commuter walking plus
80 mins outrigger canoeing
Mon 30th July:
15 mins commuter walking
Tues 31 July
60 mins commuter walking
Phew. Sorry for not really entering the day by day racing this time around.

did my first tabata routine today - 4 minutes - heck no problem, right? but in 4 minutes the body was ROCKING so it led to a full upper body lifting routine and I was AWESOME! my arms are jello. so far today: 45 minutes with tabata+lifting and if I didn't have a show to put on I'd keep going.
TRY IT! the video I saw recommended tabata as a quick "wake up" routine in the morning and I'm going to give it a go for a week and see how I feel. I think I love it. and it's so easy. (well, as far as learning and doing. it's a lot of effort!) if anyone wants the rundown, let me know and I'll explain over in the AS thread. 4 minutes= less than a cigarette, a shower, a cuppa. totally doable. fit into one workout song.
and it's only 4 pm here so I may not be finished logging yet. watch this space.

Walking, aerobics and some scrubbing of the bath!
I've given up on keeping a running total.
This has been fun y'all. I do feel kinda guilty that I was doing all my exercise whilst not working. I'm in awe of you all. (Especially CK for all the hard work! Thank you.)

Oh. Today is the end of the month. I, um, thought it was tomorrow. Well, I guess those Wednesday bike races are a day too late . . .
Put me down for 1 hour, 1 minute, and 11 seconds of bike riding, then. I did a few extra laps of the AA's Neighborhood Criterium today just to make up for any extra fudging I may have done over the month (and also to justify all the strange rounding I've done as well).

10 mins of walking at lunchtime
25 mins walking home from work
10 mins cycling to the cinema
20 mins cycling home from the cinema
65 mins walking dog in a couple of stints either side of the cinema trip
Total to add: 130 minutes or 2 hours and 10 minutes
Total: 4200 minutes or 70 hours ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
Got up too late this morning for flatmate to even come on the morning dog walk and I can't even count it for race minutes. I shall have to put it down to being selfless and wonderful.
I will admit to working out my likely total yesterday afternoon, figuring out that I would be five minutes away from a 70 hour total (70 hours, how on earth have I done 70 hours of activity in July?) and deciding on that basis to tack a wee diversion onto my walk home. It is kind of good to discover that I can do that level of activity if it's fairly gentle and I have some sort of outside motivation to do it but the responsibility of having to walk the dog every morning and evening does rather eat into my time to do other things. I'm never going to beat this race total so I shall just enjoy it.

29 July, another 4 minutes going for a Chinese takeaway.
30 July; 30 minutes getting to work and 27 getting home, total of 57 minutes for the day.
31 July I had to drive so as to get home in time, so 2 minutes each way for getting between overflow carpark and work site, plus 1 minute running up a church path to get to a funeral (we were still slightly late ![[Frown]](frown.gif) ). Total for the day 5 minutes.
Total this post is 1 hour 6 minutes. Final total for the month of 35 hours 54 minutes. Not too bad given I missed the first few days!

Totals entered to here, - I can count another 60 minutes finding things to photograph yesterday - wandering up to the skateboard park and also on a march - which meant much rushing back and forward
Ultracrepidarian is still to post a week or more
la vie en rouge, you were only an hour behind To the Pain 69 hours to her 70 hours. Ultracrepidarian had posted 45 hours 45 minutes to the morning of the 26th, so I'm expecting something in the high 50s if not higher.
Rosa Winkel - 55h 10m
Liberty - 54h 30m
me - 51h 20m
and I'll put the other totals up tomorrow to give the other stragglers a chance to post.

CK you truly are a legend! Thank you once again for keeping all the maths straight, that's a really thankless task.
Like a number of folk I have lots of activity coming up that won't count for the race - next week I am moving house and helping out with a folk dance festival while the dog's family don't return until next weekend, so there could be all sorts of activity to log.
I guess I shall see everyone in January when I shall be back to my usual lazy self and struggling to fit in minnutes. Hopefully my performance in this race will remind me that I can find the time for exercise even on busy work days.

I've pm'ed Ultracrepidarian as I think it's just him to post before I put up the final times. If he's not posted by tomorrow I'll put the final listings up anyway.
{Note to self, still need to add times between this post and the last to the spreadsheet
I'm using my posts on the thread as markers to where I've put stuff on the spreadsheet)

Thanks for the PM, CK. Sorry for keeping you up - I got a bit distracted and forgot about posting times here.
Here's the last week:
25 July
15 minutes cycling home, and then 10 minutes walking to the pub and back.
26 July
40 minutes cycling home to work to slacklining/climbing to home.
50 mintues of slacklining and about 1 hour 45 minutes worth of exercise at the climbing wall.
27 July
20 minutes morning run, and then 30 minutes commuter cycling during the day.
28 July
Climbing trip to the Roaches:
About 15 minutes of walking to get from the car to the crags and back again, and about 2 hours 45 minutes worth of climbing exercise while there.
29 July
1 hour cycling from home to church to home, and from home to train station to home.
30 July
10 minutes walking to get public transport to work (caught a bus because I was bringing a cake), and about 40 minutes walking to choir and home after work.
31 July
40 minutes cycling home to work to climbing to home, and about 1 hour 30 minutes worth of exercise at indoor climbing.
Phew. I think it was a pretty normal month in the end, rather than my originally expressed hope to do some 'extra' stuff for the fitness race, but still a busy and happy one.

Many congratulations to To the Pain and la vie en rouge for those excellent times, and
Many thanks to CK for managing the Race again; much appreciated.
As always, it has been so interesting reading what participants have done, and it's quite hard to stop recording time on the 1st August, isn't it?!!

Thanks again, CK! It was good fun, and interesting to read about all the different things that people are getting up to. I'll be interested to see how January compares to July!

And my thanks too, CK.
We shall see what January brings ... (possibly a sense of panic at an impending half marathon)
