Tuesday Totals: Crazymomlady Eats Crow

By katie, on May 31st, 2011%

Well another great week was had by all as we have a new grand total of 1,350.75 miles!

Now you may be thinking, “Hey that’s not 2000 miles!” You would be correct, this is not the week we reach 2000 miles even though I posted that yesterday. This is the week you all want to fire me as the book keeper for the Challenge since I can’t add!

Seriously, math and numbers have never been my friends. Is there such a thing as math dyslexia? ‘Cause I swear I have that! Now that my woeful inadequacies at reading numbers and doing math have been exposed perhaps you see the importance of keeping a grand total for yourselves safe from my confused brain!

Now that I’ve eaten crow and confessed my mistakes I’m going to have to make this an even shorter Tuesday Total’s since my poor little ‘puter is sick and can’t keep up with me typing. It goes to the ‘puter doctor tomorrow and it may have to stay for some ‘puter surgery so I don’t know how long I may be offline. I’d still love to hear from you all so drop me comments and wish my ‘puter a quick recovery! I’ll be checking in on the dinosaur of a desktop, but will have limited access and time to really post, but I’ll be back soon!

Walking Challenge: Monday Miles

By katie, on May 30th, 2011%

Gonna be a short Monday Miles again folks, although we did manage to up last weeks’ ante a bit with 7.75 miles. That brings our total to 93.75 miles. We’re creeping up on the 100 miles mark and looking forward to it!

I want to send a call out to those that I haven’t heard of in a while. If you have miles and prefer not to report in each week, no problem, but we’d still love to hear how things are going. How ’bout a month end report? I’m sure you’ve all been out there, so we’d love to hear your progress!

I also want to make sure I have all of your miles correct. If there are any mistakes in my records in the sidebar please feel free to correct me in a comment or email me privately at katie @ lessonsfrom4legs dot com.

Looking at the totals it looks like it’ll be an exciting Tuesday Totals, as we’re closing in on 2000 miles and with the early totals I already know about looks like we’ll fly on by the 2000 miles mark. Awesome!

So let’s hear it folks! We have 15 members in the challenge and I’d love to hear from all 15 of you!

Walking Challenge: Tuesday Totals

By katie, on May 24th, 2011%

Another great week! 1,176 miles total! That’s great!

Another great thing about the Challenge is when I have a slow week I still get to be excited with our cumulative progress. We had some great accomplishments this week.

Beth and Chispita certainly had a great week. Beth says, “For me, this week has been the best one in the whole year. It finally stopped raining, so we were able to walk seven hours this past week, including a record (for us, and for this year) walk that was one hour long. It started raining again on Friday and through the weekend; otherwise we would have been able to do eight hours. But this week we at least got up to 62 hours total and actually managed to do the seven hours in one week.” Congrats Beth and Chispita! Great job!

Carrie, Teddy, Jamie and Ruby had a great week too with 10 miles, double their weekly goal of 5 miles. Congrats to them too!

I also know Debbie, Miss Kodee and Becky had a fun nature walk planned so I hope we’ll hear more about their fun later.

See? When we are all sharing in each others fun it makes those slow weeks seem not so bad!

I’m happy to announce our fifteenth member of the Challenge: Brando and his family have joined us with a goal of 30 miles in 30 days. I hope to have more details for you all later, but let’s give them a warm welcome.

Meanwhile back here in rainy Lessons From 4 Legs Land Magnus is begging me to get better faster so he doesn’t have to resort to anymore doggy pilates to get his exercise!

"This pilates thing is not near as much fun as walking!"

Hopefully I can accommodate him ’cause I’m sick of being sick! Thanks for all of your nice thoughts and get well wishes, they may not have cured my migraine and flu, but they did lift my spirits! Thanks all!

Walking Challenge: Monday Miles

By katie, on May 23rd, 2011%

Due to a raging migraine and or flu, cold or whatever malady it is that’s kept me in bed the last two days Monday Miles will be short today.

Good thing I wrote that nice lecture last week about not saying “only”, or I’d for sure be saying “only” 5 miles this week. I mean 5 miles? It’s been a while since my poor pups have had to be content with a mere 5 miles of walking in a week. They aren’t loving it at all! So my mere (notice I didn’t say “only”) 5 miles brings us to 85 miles for the year.

We have a new member, to be announced in tomorrow’s results post and other than 5 days of unending rain, the current thunder storm and the aforementioned malady’s that is the sum of the news around here.

Hopefully you all have some exciting walks to report so I have something more lovely to write about tomorrow! Let’s hear it folks-dazzle me with those miles!
