Wow!!! I guess I stopped writing. I did not achieve the 2022 miles. 🙁
However, I did far surpass the 2022 km. Now I have to try to figure out my goal for 2023. I walked or rode 1782 miles which is almost one mile a day less than I needed. I did complete 2852 kilometers which in itself is a great achievement. I started the year with the plan to travel 2023 km this year, but it seems a bit easy.
Ok. Big change!! Sadly, I think I need to stop with the 2022 miles and instead try for 2022 kilometers. What do you think? My knee is not cooperating with this even gentle challenge. Now I am traveling and there will be no access to my bike. So watch for the news.
I have decided to try to do the 2022 miles in the year 2022. At first, I thought that there was no way possible, but now I am thinking harder. YEAH!!!! Less than 2000 to go. Who am I kidding? I am 66 years old and not getting any younger. In fact, I am 67 years old and hanging in there.
Finally hit the 400, but still way behind. Still, it looks to be a good day. Total = 440.82miles or 705.3 km
Holy Cow– Where has the time gone? Waiting for my knee to heel. Just old knees. Many years of basketball and teaching have compromised my project, but today I’m back. Let’s see for how long.

March 4/Day 63 Got to babysit all day so no chance to walk or ride. Rained all day as well. Wearing my knee brace and being careful, but it is staying swollen. Got the bonus mile though

March 1/Day 60 Started the month off right 7.1 so total. 358.58
Feb 28/Day59 Last day of February, bike for 7.4 miles and a bonus leap day mile. You have to go back to January if you want to know what that is. Oh well, 1/4 mile each morning. Only add it every four days. 351.48 So, January I did 15 miles extra and now February 9.5 miles so I have 24 spare miles which is between 4-5 days I could technically have off and still be on target. Is it worth it though?
Feb 27/Day57 Took Dave’s package back to Kohl’s and walked up to Lightning Brewery to see if it was still there. It was. 1.22 miles. Then 7.5 miles on the bike. February is safe and complete with one day left.343.08
Feb 26/Day 56 Just a figure 8 1.19 miles. May not make the full commitment to February. Oops. Thank goodness for excess in January. But maybe maybe I will make it.
Feb 25/Day55 Simple day. Did the figure 8 walk for 1.17 miles and rode for 16 minutes so I could take Dave to Convoy. 6.3 miles. Ending the month strong. 333.17

Feb 23/Day 53 1.43 miles with the dog. It was blowing and cold. Fast walk down to the river…haha if you have been to Poway, you would know we don’t really have a river.
Feb 22/Day 52 Special day 22/2/22 or 2/22/22 depending on where you live. Could be 02/22/2022. Whatever the way you write it makes a special pattern. All I could do was bike for 6.8 miles. All good now the total is 313.6 miles. I have walked more in February but biked less, Still my miles are building up.
Feb 21/Day 51 Babysat the kids this morning and Starr went to doggy daycare so no walking. I tried putting on my walking app, but it didn’t really measure much. I took .5 miles, but I think I went back and forth across the yard way more than that. Good news is that we conquered 300. I am only inputting every two days now so that is dangerous. Can’t wait to day 65 because then it will just be 300 to go.
Feb 20/Day 50 Visited the kids with Savta. Watched the last of the Olympics so just leap day and 1.34 with the dog 306.8
Feb 19/Day 49 Did much better today 1.47 around the pond with the dog and 6.7 on the bike watching Olympics. Keep going! Way closer towards 300. On track to hit 300 on day 50. … Really, really close. 297.17
Feb 18/ Day 48 Without the boys, Starr and I walked the business park and the nursery. 1.25 Then bike for 7.5 miles. Long weekend goal is to get ahead for February. Slacking a bit.

Feb 16/Day 46 1.33 A great walk up on the hill. Starr is a bit crazy right now so hope we dont meet anyone up there Plus Leap mile. I love leap mile. It always comes to the rescue.
Feb 15/Day 46 Well done today 8.5 miles on the bike and 1.18 walking in the rain. There is hope yet. Total = 269.6
Feb 14/ Day 45 Hoping to get back on track soon. Rode the bike for 6.9 miles. Tried to go at a higher pressure, but my knee was just not having it. Can only afford 2 days off and I will be behind. Time to build up again. 259.92
Feb 13/Day 44 Super-bowl Sunday Walked the dog 1.7 hoping that she would sit for the big event. She tried so hard, but ultimately failed and was sent home.
