Now there's a good start to a Monday morning - walking back from taking the car in to the garage instead of catching the bus.
I'm going to claim one and a half hours because a)I forgot to check the time when I set out from the garage but guess it was about 8.30 and b) I forgot to check the precise time I got in because by that time I was jogging rather than walking, in a decidedly cross-legged fashion....

Wow, I just noticed I have crept ahead of a 30 min/day average. I wonder if I can preserve that 50 minute edge till the end of the month. That would be cool.

I can notch up an extra thirty minutes of walking and swimming (in between lazing) this afternoon and shortly will be doing the thirty minute walk to meet my son from an after school club and bring him home.
And you'll be impressed to know (or rather, I am rather amazed at myself to report..) that I have deliberately left my car at the garage overnight so that I can walk to Newport to get it rather than having to get a friend to drive me there this evening.

Today: yet another canal/river walk on what's become a fairly standard route, about 9 miles I think give or take, and taking 2 h 50 m. Everywhere seems damp and dank but I'm hoping that green shoots will burst forth in the not too distant future ...
and the boots are waterproof still. Provided depth of puddle does not exceed height of boot.
and 15 m antipearshapedness exercises. The muscle is beginning to differentiate itself from the flab. Downside is that there seems to be more flab than I thought, presumably this is the reason trousers were getting tight.
anyway, 3 h 5 m today, giving a running total
41 hours 15 minutes
edited cos can't add up

30 minutes to add today. Which doesn't quite get me up to the 20 hour mark. I'm blaming the impossibility of getting into classes in my gym, which is in no way irritating me immensely...

Monday (cont):
10 mins walk home from uni - there was going to be some additional walking or skating but I got hit by an odd travelling crisis and didn't leave uni til 8.45 and it was slippy around the flat when I got back.
Tuesday (so far):
60 mins walk to uni (I took the long way round, via the post office, a friend's house and said friend's exam venue, partly cos I won't get a walk to housegroup tonight)
Total for this post:
70 minutes or 1 hour and 10 minutes
Running total:
1372 minutes or 22 hours and 52 minutes
So it looks like I'll be able to average an hour of activity per day but I only started on the 5th so I'd like to see if I can average an hour of activity per day including the five zero-days I've got at the beginning. We shall see.

One hour and forty minutes walking into town to collect my car (we won't count the little diversion via one of my favourite cafes where I got lured into eating a slice of cake).
Thirty minutes yesterday doing industrial-strength ironing - of which I suspect there may be more today!

Oops I can't count - thanks for that.
Well, it definitely wasn't overly strenuous - but we were in fact out for well over an hour and I only counted 45 mins. And I tend not to count the odd 5 min speedy walks to the bus stop so I think my conscience is clear :-)

I hope you agree that working my way through washing and ironing every single item of bedding in the house is worthy of counting - I hate those kingsize duvet covers! Add to that clambering up and down the bunk bed ladder to wrestle with making the Smudgelet's bed up and I can claim a virtuous one and a half hours of extra exertion.
