So Many Precious Books, So Little Time

Here’s how it works:
In order to complete this Challenge, you will need to “travel” 100 miles from January 1st through March 31st.

Here's how you calculate your mileage:
*Running or walking 1 mile outside or on a treadmill equals 1 mile.

*15 minutes of other workouts equals 1 mile (elliptical, swimming, weight lifting, workout video, workout classes, etc.).

A few "workout" stipulations:
“Workouts” only include activities specifically done for the purpose of exercise. Shopping, house cleaning, walking to and from the parking lot, and other day to day activities should not be included.

Partial miles travelled on different days cannot be combined. For example, if you run 1.25 miles on one day, and .75 mile on another day, that does not equal 2 miles. It counts as 1 mile.

Minutes accumulated on two different days cannot be combined. For example, if you workout 10 minutes one day and 5 minutes the next day, that does not combine to equal a mile.

1 mile on the bike or elliptical does not equal 1 mile, etc. Only walking/running is mile for mile.



I just bought a bike trainer so that I can ride my bike in the winter months.  It basically makes your bike into a stationary bike.  The one I got is magnetized and has three different levels to make it more challenging, plus your gears still work with it.   I plan to use it for this challenge.  I may do other things as well.

I just bought in last Thursday.  Using the rule that 15 minutes of biking equals one mile, I have gone a total of 3 miles so far.  LOL! Hey, it's a start!
