Rhondalou and Edie's Big Virtual Adventure 11/21/08

RhondaLou and I are going to virtually meet somewhere between the 1120 miles that separate us.

How long will it take us?

It is not a race, we will both be WINNERS.

I am hoping this will be fun for us.

I hope we inspire online friends to come up with some ideas like this and be sure to share them with us on this thread.

I made it 4 more miles today. I love the feeling of power that getting this much exercise in gives me. It makes me feel strong and healthy.

I am over a fourth of my way to the Tenn line.

Whew what wonderful wonderful and then a bad week and then a wonderful week I have had.

Xmas holidays I was so busy and finishing up everything no "exercise" exercising.

New years holiday week same thing.

Then I had a cold virus that put me in the bed. Yuk with lots of Kleenexes.

But then a week in FL with lots of walking. I am going to estimate 15 miles. It was wonderful ! The nature trails were the best. I was in the Port Charlotte area of FL.

I was ablwe to walk 2 miles at the mall today. Makes me want to shop . Oh well it is good to look at the markdowns.

I am not as good as posting here as Edie-she is such a good girl. I would estimate I have walked 60 miles since I last posted.

Went and logged some miles at the gym. 2.5 miles.

Wanna join us jenhay?

:thumbup:

Hi You Two, Have not been on the net much for the last week considering the ice storm we had and the only electricity we have had for the last 6 days is from our generator which we only run for about 6 to 8 hrs a day, and we alternate the times so we can keep the house warm. would love to join you on your trip, just give me the details and as soon as my life gets back to half way normal, I will start. Edie, how are you doing in all this mess from the ice storm? I know you only live about 25 miles from me

oh I forgot to mention that my whole family, ( married son/wife/2 grandkids, 2 single sons who live next door and 1 of their best friends and a girlfriend) has been staying with us for the past 6 days also. Empty nest syndrome is certainly a thing of the past, at least until we get electricity back!

Brrrrrr, I have been without electricity. My cousins with 3 dogs and gas logs took us in for a week!! My husband is a lineman for an utility company and of course is working horrible hours. I don't even want to get into what he is dealing with.

So needless to say I walked one mile outside one day about 4 days ago.

I lost 3 lbs sitting and freezing . Wow.

edie

Wow ladies that sucks, hopw you have been warm and cozy. We only had one bad day with a couple of accidents and a couple of fatalities. A little bad weather and these people can't seem to drive.

Just been working out at the gym, little cold to ride my bike or anything.

I have been dealing with a work thing that has had me a bit bummed and not as enthusiastic with my workout..

Jen, we are walking virtually toward one another, you could make your first goal to get to Edie.. A 25 mile goal..

what do you think?:cursing:
