New December - March Exercise Log

[Catrin]

So, I am less than 10 hours from meeting my goal. With about 6 weeks left, should I up it?

That's up to you - I've already upped mine once and may need to do so again (but mind was set low due to my broken bits). If it's helping you then there is nothing wrong with it - and kudos for blasting through your winter goal already!

Crankin, it looks like we were both posting at the same time. While my activities have certainly changed, it's wonderful to be able to do an hour of Tai Chi daily and walk/hike when I can. Crossing my fingers that I can actually hike this Saturday for the first time since Jan 1! They say it will be 65 degrees...in February

Yeah, it is supposed to be 55 here, but I will be in Stowe, VT. Thankfully, it will be around 40 there, still cold enough that the snow won't melt for skiing, and not the lovely -21 we had last year. It's only a 3 day weekend, as opposed to our previous trips, but I am thankful to be getting up there at all, when I didn't think it would happen. Since we waited so long to decide on this with our friends, we couldn't get lodging in Stowe, as it's school vacation week in southern New England. We are staying in Morrisville, a small town that has some up and coming microbreweries and restaurants. It's close enough for us to ski at Craftsbury, in the Northeast Kingdom, some of the best and reliable trails around. So, I hope we get there and a couple of days at Von Trapp (yes, the Sound of Music family runs a wonderful trail system) and Stowe Mountain x country.

I just upped my total, again. It might take a little push for me to get 21 hours in 2 weeks, but since I will be skiing this weekend, that should help immensely. I really need a rest day today, after a hard snow shoe, falling a lot when skiing Wednesday, and tabata yesterday. So, hoping to get 6 hours this weekend, and maybe be riding next weekend. Otherwise, it will take a lot of one hour classes at the gym to get to my new total. Might have to throw some hikes in there, too.

I doubt I'm going to make my several-times-revised-upward goal due to having to go to Ohio for a week (four days of which we'll be in the car most of the day) unexpectedly, but I'll just leave it as is. I'll still have a week here in Florida in March when we get back, and hopefully it will be a good one! We'll be missing what looks like a perfect cycling week here, but c'est la vie. Overall I've had a great winter here with plenty of miles under my belt (somewhere over 1100 at this point), so no complaints.

Thanks for setting up the spreadsheet, Catrin!

I did up my hours a month or so ago. and I think I will leave it as it is. For me this is very helpful. I DO track on my own, but for some reason it seems to help doing it in this context. Probably my inner competitor that doesn't want to "fall behind" even though we are all working on different goals

[Crankin]

I am not going to make it, with 2.5 days left and 10.5 hrs. to go. I think I would have gotten to 150, if I hadn't been resting from my back issues. Now I know I can do it and that I need to do more in December.... still glad that I upped it, though.
