β€’68 Replies

Dear Travellers

So thrilled that you all managed to clock up some steps yesterday in spite of the awful weather. Well except for Lucca who was last seen discussing the Californian grape varieties with Ricky!!

I was at 40th birthday party last night and danced and danced and danced. Clocked up 9.6kms - woohoo!

Today we are on the island of Sakhalin enjoying the nature at its finest. Lots of hiking, seal watching and scuba diving.

Happy Travels everyone πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

Hi Lizzy,

Wow, that picture of Sakhalin is really beautiful. I'm definitely looking forward to our stay there, all that hiking, seal watching and scuba diving. An active day for all. Will pop back later with my kms. :-)

Lowcal :-)

Oh no - I've been named and shamed in the main post - I feel so bad ;-) :-D You just wait 'til you see my kms for today !! (And even Mr Lucca has been busy !!)

Really? Wow I did most of it at a gym session I had as part of a spa day gift from my daughter - chuffed I am 😊 The machine was notching up kms not steps !

WTG you! That's a fantastic achievement! No wonder you're chuffed! :)

Thank you very much Beryl's daughter! :)

Hi, Sorry for not responding sooner I am on holiday and this is the first time I am able to log my miles. Friday I did 6.5 km, Saturday was 12 km and Sunday 6.5 km :-)

Hi Lizzy, Moreless & Everyone,

I have done 4km on the rowing machine today and also 2.5km walking, so that makes a total of 6.5kms for today.

Lowcal :-)

morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Zest

You are so clever to be able to do 4K's on the rowing machine Lowcal. I wish I could! ;)

in reply to moreless

Stick with it moreless - you'll get there :-)

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to

I'm only up to 45 strokes at a time - it's a number too small to record. It's a total of about 1/2K/day! :D I shall keep adding to it slowly, maybe one day I'll manage to row all the way across the room! :D

in reply to moreless

Oh no - you're not suffering with the floods again are you :-P

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to

Not yet, but I shall be prepared if we do...........except the rowing machine has a big gap in the bottom and weighs almost as much as me! :o :D

in reply to moreless

You should rename it 'Titanic' :-)

Sakhalin is just what the doctor ordered :)

Yes it is and the company is splendid.

Woohoo Liz! That must have been some party! It sounds as if you had a fantastic time. I hope you remembered to be cautious with the calorie consumption, don't forget it's weigh-in monday tomorrow and you don't want Lowcal on your case! ;)

Oh, I'm loving the look and sound of Sakhalin, it definitely sounds my cup of tea. What a clever old stick you are finding it for us :)

What a day today has been, weatherwise. I dragged my OH and grandson on a walk with gale force winds, rain, hail, sleet and snow! What a fantastic supporters club they are for me! :)

My totals today are:

Walking - 14.26

Cycling - 3.24

Total - 17.5K's :)

ZestHealthy BMI in reply to moreless

Hi Moreless,

That's a fantastic number of kms - you should add in the 0.5 km you've done on the rowing machine though! It all counts! :-)

Lowcal :-)

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Zest

I'm actually cheating a little bit Lowcal, I'm saving up all the 1/2K's to make round numbers next week :)

I hope that confession doesn't get me walking the plank! :o

ZestHealthy BMI in reply to moreless

lol :-)

Ok - kms for today. After our disastrous day yesterday when we were ultra lazy, we have attempted to redeem ourselves today :-)

Mr L - 6.2k run + 3.7k dog walk = 9.9k

Me - 10.3k run + 9.7k dog walks = 20k :-) :-)

I donned my waterproof trousers and went for a 6k walk just in order to get my totals up this afternoon ! Hope you all realise the dedication I have to the cause and they'll be less of this sarcasm directed towards me in future ;-) :-D

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to

Is that it??!! After the big up earlier, I was expecting something good from the pair of you, not mediocrity........................... :D :D :D

You know you thrive on the sarcasm really :D

in reply to moreless

Ha Ha ! At least we are making our totals up on two legs - none of this namby pamby pedal assisted stuff ;-)

Anyway, judging by the smell of deep heat emanating from Mr L's direction I think he feels the 6.2k was a run too far at the moment with his bad leg !! :-D

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to

Don't forget the even nambier pambier oar assisted stuff! :D

I've heard of man flu, but I think man tendonitis is just pushing it! ;) :D

Hi all,

Saturday's kms for me = 4.77

Won't put up today's just yet as I am hoping I will be able to get out for a couch to 5k run later.

Don't know, it's chucking it down out there at the mo, so doubt I will get out for my run tonight πŸ˜” Suspect it will be a similar level to yesterday.

Nice work with the dancing - the funnest exercise ever!

No dancing for me, I am flagging a little after such a busy week, so I just went to the gym. Managed a good 19.30kms.

morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to

Poor you Flossie, but you're doing exactly the right thing by letting Mr F take over for a bit.

I'm sure Liz will be more than happy to add Mr F to the spreadsheet :)

Thank you very much Mr F, you're a star! :)

5245 steps today, woke up to a day off, lovely sunshine, and ANOTHER flippin cold, tight chest sore throat runny nose etc. Only just got over the last one !! Good job there's plenty of travellers so you're not relying on me for many ks. I've signed up for a mindfullness course starts tomorrow. Thought if this is going to be a repeat of last years back to back infections from Christmas to Easter and I'm going to be curled under a blanket, I'd like to do something constructive - well it's more productive than iPad jigsaws lol β˜€οΈπŸ€’

morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Fran182716

Oh no Fran! :( Are you working with lots of bug infested people?

Have fun at your mindfulness class tomorrow, it sounds really interesting.

Your K's are absolutely fine too :)

Fran182716 in reply to moreless

Thanks Moreless. Last year I was diagnosed with an immune deficiency, thankfully the least serious type, but it explains why I pick up so many bugs. I work in an NHS community team, and at the moment all the patients and the staff are poorly! β˜€οΈ

morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to Fran182716

The time in my life when I was my most ill, was when I was working in a hospital!

Fingers crossed that you don't just keep passing the bugs back and fore and that you're on the mend pronto :)

Well done you I still think that 1k spent packing boxes when feeling ill should attract a bonus kilometre!!. Plus extra kilmetre for using very long words like "woohoo hallybloomingloolia"
