2022 Totals: 1,002 Miles

January - December 2022: 1,002.62 miles in 84 hours, 44 minutes (3 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes) The miles are equivalent to a little over 38 marathons, averaging 3 marathons a month! Exercised 203 days out of 365 (157 days elliptical; 70 days kettlebell) Some days I did both elliptical and kettlebell, and some days I did one and not the other. Watched 52 movies, 3 documentaries, and 3 TV shows (listed chronologically on my Miles of Movies 2022 IMDb list ; see full list alphabetized in blog sidebar) 2.62 miles over year goal of 1,000 miles! It's been a good year, the first full year on the elliptical! My husband had to make some adjustments to the machine this year, tightening screws due to use and lubricating when it got squeaky, but other than that is has held up great and hasn't been turned into a clothes rack! I took time off this year, all of August due to extreme heat and Covid illness, and then another few weeks off between October and November; my year goal of 1,000 miles...

Thursday May 27, 2021: 4 Miles

Today I finished 'Overcomer' from 2019. I walked 4 miles on my treadmill in 40 minutes, with a break every 10 minutes for push-ups & squats totaling 36 of each. Image below from the final race scene; the running is inspiring and the story is too. IMDb Movie Summary: After reluctantly agreeing to coach cross-country, John and his wife, Amy, meet an aspiring athlete who's pushing her limits on a journey toward discovery. Inspired by the words and prayers of a new-found friend, John becomes the least likely coach helping the least likely runner attempt the impossible in the biggest race of the year.

Week 10/18/21: 17.24 Miles

Weekly Stats: 10/18/21 - 10/22/21: 17.24 miles on the elliptical in 1hr, 33min (Monday - Friday) Week 10 using the Gym Boss Interval Timer (20sec high-intensity pace & 60sec recovery pace)  This week I did four days at lower intensity to get more speed, and I'm curious to see if it will create any difference in weight loss.
