Sauntered, semi-exhausted, half way home from w*rk. 35 minutes.

Gym, plus walk to/from.
By the way, I was thinking about housework - but fortunately my neighbour and I recently arranged with a local cleaning service to come once a fortnight. It is just lovely to know that I don't have to do it myself! Mind you, having only a simple, smallish house, it wouldn't add much to my fitness times.

Thursday: 30 minutes of walking.
Today: 30 minutes of walking and an unbelievably long meeting that sapped my energy to do anything else for the rest of the day, aside from getting home at 5pm!
So a paltry 1 hour for this post, with the intention of being more active over the weekend!

Late last night, I hiked up to my local Irish-American pub to hear Irish music played: it was a 30-minute round trip.

Ok, so on Tue-Fri I was helping out with an office move at my place of work. It involved a lot of physical activity that's definitely not part of my normal job (which is pretty much just sitting at a desk) like moving furniture, servers and packing crates, but also some lighter tasks and even some just hanging around. Having said that I definitely noticed the difference, especially the two nights we were there until midnight.
In addition I did a certain amount of my normal walking.
So using conservative estimates, I'm counting it this way:
Tues 98mins walking + 240mins moving = 338mins
Wed 50mins walking + 240mins moving = 290mins
Thu 50mins walking + 120mins moving = 170mins
Fri 50mins walking + 180mins moving = 230mins
and today I did a 97min walk.

Today, I did 40 minutes stretching and circuit training with light weigths and also 40 minutes cycling (home to friend's house to town to supermarket and then back home).
That brings my running total to: 32 hours 27 minutes

Edited to correct my adding up!

Saw a physio on Wednesday evening about my suffering knee (from over-use of an exercise bike!)
After long inspections and many questions he's said I should use the exercise bike again but only on low resistance and build upo slowly. Yippee!
So Wednes 15 mins up and down the stairs to my office at work
+ 20 mins brisk walk into town and back
Thurs: 30 mins brisk walk after dropping my car off for a service and returning to pick it up
Today: 10 mins exercise bike
40 mins brisk walking
So far: 4 hrs 40 mins

Here's my week's efforts.

2x15 trips into town 0:30
20 mins walking round the Parks
30 mins two trips to Headington at ten minutes there and five back (it's a big hill!).
20 mins cycling up and down to cricket practice, with 60 mins of nets in between.
40 mins to-ing, from-ing and ringing practice, plus 25 mins similiarly for service.
1hr 10 dancing at a Burns' Supper, plus 30 mins getting there and back

Unfortunately my cold had come back for seconds, and I now ache from head to toe. Grr!

Sat 24th:- 20 minutes getting into town
- 5 minutes to the parental abode from town
- 10 minutes up to Headington and 5 getting back (as Sandemaniac says, it's a big hill)
- 20 minutes getting home after dinner cooked by the paternal Knotweed
![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Can't really count the 4 hours I spent on Saturday ambling round a book fair acquiring yet more books. All I've done so far today is 25 minutes getting to, getting back, and ringing for service.
Total for this post of 1 hour 25 minutes, making the running total 26 hours. I'm worried. I'm actually ahead of Sandemaniac! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) What's he forgotten to add in? ![[Paranoid]](graemlins/paranoid.gif)

Today, I did 1 hour 33 minutes cycling and walking. It was meant to be a longer cycle ride without any walking, but the gears on my bike gave up part way round, and I got stuck in the highest gear, leaving me unable to get up hills. Hence, I walked up one hill and then decided discretion was the better part of valour and came home the short way.
I've also done 30 minutes in the garden digging farmyard manure into my emerging vegetable border.
Hence, running total: 34 hours 30 minutes
All the best,
Rachel.

Sat 24 Jan - NOWT (again)
Sun 25 Jan (today) walk to church and back 15 + 15 m
plus LONG walk from home to various bits of home town that I hadn't seen for ages and had forgot existed, around lake and return, 3 hours
so total for today is 3 h 30 m
and running total 38 h 10 m
ability to walk a reasonable number of miles without undue grief seems to be returning, much to my relief
