30 minutes of aerobics, 90 minutes of walking.

Total of 120 minutes for today.

Running total 1,010 minutes.

We've off on holiday on Friday for almost 2 weeks so maybe I'll exercise less, or maybe my Imaginary Friend will drag me on long hikes.

Went for an unexpected, but rather pleasant, 60 minute walk after dinner out with friends, so my actual total for July 11 is 180 minutes. Tota; 1,070 minutes. [Smile]

Wednesday, July 11th: (cont)
20 mins walking home from work
60 mins walking dog

Thursday, July 12th (so far)
35 mins walking dog
20 mins walking to work

Total to add: 135 minutes
Total so far: 1225 minutes or 50 hours and 25 minutes

Rather strangely I ought to have my total from the January 2011 race, but I seem to have overwritten it with my August 2011 times. Ho Hum.

Tonight I have to go and teach 175 guides some ceilidh dances. This will involve demonstrating each dance so I'll eke out a few minutes, but mostly I suspect I will be standing around directing traffic. Goodness knows when the dog will get her walk this evening. Perhaps I shall take her on the trampmoline again (which mostly involves her running circuits around the garden then joining in for a bounce every so often) so she has at least moved before we get back late and are faced with a furry whirlwind wanting out.

Yesterday: 1 hour of luggage lugging to the bus station, through the airport, off the airport, etc.

Now to hope I don't fall horribly behind now that I'm in a "pedestrian=hood ornament" city.

90 minutes heavy duty cleaning, scrubbing down the kitchen walls with sugar soap as a forerunner to decorating them. I did get outside briefly, but it started raining before I got my boots on to go outside properly

Thursday, July 12th: (cont)
20 mins walking home from work
45 mins walking/marching/dancing/waving arms around in a midgey field during 1.5 hours ceilidh dancing at guide camp
40 mins walking dog

Friday, July 13th (so far)
20 mins walking to work - flatmate started work later than me this morning so she took the dog after I left.

Total to add: 125 minutes
Total so far: 1350 minutes or 22 hours and 30 minutes

Oooops! Please ignore the 5 for 2 substitution typo from yesterday. Getting to 50 hours this early in the game would be impressive indeed!

Well, ceilidh dancing with the guides was interesting. 'There's a marquee' they said. And there was, but how they expected that many girls to dance in it was beyond me. So we set up outside and turned the generator off every time we needed to give instructions then had multiple people relaying them once the generator and the music had been started up. They seemed to enjoy themselves.

25 min

To station and home and from museum to station. There was one of the 'Touch Tours' this morning(for a group of blind and partially-sighted with guides) in the Sea City Museum in Southampton. Newly re-designed building and a superb exhibition.

Yesterday (12 July) mainly boat related but the only bit that might count would be 10 m total hauling boats up slipways. (They are called slipways due to algal growth with an apparently negative coefficient of friction, leaving the unwary embarrassed, bruised and very wet.)

Today, Friday 13th, about an hour walking plus 35 m runnish.

So total for two days is 1 h 45 m.

Holy cow! Y'all are awesome.

and I can't count teaching advanced swimming students... [Frown] .. (pout, pout). But fair is fair. It's just that it's hard to do a swim workout after already being in the water 1 1/2 hours.

Sorry, forgot to do this yesterday. Another 90 minutes decorating - scraping, sanding, filling, up and down the step ladder - this all being high level stuff. And shopping, which meant walking back laden and really did work up a sweat 30 minutes - so 120 minutes in all

Friday, July 13th: (cont)
20 mins walking to and from the shop at lunchtime
20 mins walking home from work
115 mins walking dog

Saturday, July 14th (so far)
45 mins walking dog

Total to add: 200 minutes
Total so far: 1550 minutes or 25 hours and 50 minutes

Not having a car is going to up my times considerably - that mammoth dog walk last night was a trek out to our usual Friday-night park (and an attempt to get to the middle of the maze there without losing the dog!) to keep a little variety in the routine.

Now I have some errands to run in town so it will be on my bicycle, although I'm not really looking forward to peddling up the hill again on the way home.

Heavy shifts at work are a nightmare - nothing really that can be logged but I am left too physically tired to exercise.

Off on holiday tomorrow and have booked myself in to the local gym so who knows... I will try to record my exercise while I'm away and post a mammoth score when I get back.... (believe that and you'll believe anything!)

What's more likely is that I'll spend the whole week moping under canvas at the sound of the torrential rain battering down on the tent roof (hopefully not through the tent roof) and comfort eating.

Got browned off again yesterday. 1 hour 15 minutes walking. Meant to do yoga, or weights or well, something but Didn't Feel Like It™. 1 hour 40 minutes walking so far today. Going to walk to Eiffel Tower for the Bastille Day fireworks later which should usefully build up some more time (it's a fair walk, but the crowds on the metro on the 14th of July terrify me).

Today: another 40 minutes high-speed walking.

I'm definitely not going to win (it's interesting to see how much extra walking you rack up if you have a dog to exercise) but it's interesting seeing how many of my everyday activities count as Keeping Fit, and this is encouraging me to keep up with the gym visits. Not that I managed many this week, due to being away from home at a conference.

Anyway, running total is now 19 hours 12 minutes

Yesterday - was out at the Town Festival for 4 hours, but the thing I was supposed to be doing that's more aerobic didn't happen: it's too dangerous to open the church tower when it's raining (lead gets very slippery). I think I can count 60 minutes - in little spurts, moving to get to take pictures of something happening, and then keeping pace while it happened - that also includes 10 minutes of stretches.

Just 20 mins today. Walking to and fro. Hoping this cold disappears overnight or my progress could be curtailed rapidly!

Adding on 1 hour 20 minutes walking last night to watch the Eiffel Tower explode [Big Grin] , then 50 minutes walking and 30 minutes running today (should really have done more but didn't get home until well after eight in the evening, by which time it was getting a bit late).

I now have a kitchen painted sunshine yellow and aching muscles. It took 2½ hours to paint it, after at least another 2½ hours to finish sanding, filling, scrubbing down and taking everything out, then putting it all back in. So I'm counting 5 hours.

7/12: tons of physical work, but on-clock. so I can only claim 30 minutes dancing once I clocked out.

7/13: again with the hard work day, so a mere 20 minutes walk.

7/14: [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin] ! day off. we left early to drive to the state park and set up camp. (hiking to site, hauling stuff, cutting and splitting wood, schlepping some trees, etc) then took off on a hike to K'sugi Ridge by way of the waterfall trail. not much milage but a major climb - any steeper and we would have needed to be roped. my kids are natural goats and rocked it, though scared hell out of me a few times. hike back to camp was slower as downhill is tricky for me nowadays with my erratic sense of balance. the rain stayed mostly at bay the whole time!

took a few breaks to play in the waterfall and whatnot, plus great moments of profound slack at the camp, so I'm counting a day's total of 7 hours, 30 minutes which includes camp set-up, wood prep, hike, and post hike swim.

I'm happily not terribly sore.

today, 7/15: took down camp and hiked out (the rain showed up to help us hustle out!) for a total of 45 minutes. I may have more today but I doubt it.

Saturday, July 14th: (cont)
10 mins cycling to town (it's downhill but I was trying to get there in a hurry so I peddled most of the way anyway)
30 mins walking between shops
20 mins cycling home
60 mins walking dog

Sunday, July 15th
20 mins walking dog
35 mins walking to church
45 mins walking home
45 mins walking dog (because she got her usual hour, but I spent some of it looking on as she played in the burn)

Monday, July 16th (so far)
35 mins walking dog
30 mins walking to work the long way 'round

[b]Total to add: 330 minutes

Total so far: 1880 minutes or 31 hours and 20 minutes

Wow! I'm at the top! At least I can use that as a positive aspect of no longer having access to a car. I don't really expect to stay there long though - la vie en rouge has made it past 60 hours in a previous fitness race and a few others have been close before as well. Which would mean I was aiming for 2 hours activity a day. Looking at my spreadsheet I have managed that on eight out of the fourteen full days I've posted so far. And most of those were since the car was consigned to motoring history. So it might be do-able. I'll stick with my 45 hours target for now (that only requires about an hour a day for the rest of the month) but once I hit that I really ought to aim for 60.

I don't know, you might still get there... Ironically being fitter than I was in the past means that I rack up less time [Roll Eyes] My big scores in the past involved a lot of walking - this month I have been running instead, which is a better work-out, more calories burned etc. but less time to record. I'm pretty sure I won't get to 60 hours this time round.

OTOH, I have a strong competitive streak and since I'm near the top I think I'd quite like to win and consequently intend to give you a good run for your money [Biased]
