Week 4 Gas Challenge July 3-9

We started this week with our mileage at 129,893.

We ended this week with our mileage at 129,969.

So, yes, we kept our miles under 100 at 76 miles!!!!

Definitely proud of this accomplishment, however, looking back I realized I DID drive every day except Friday. So, maybe I need to add an additional goal of only driving 3 or 4 days out of the week!

I biked to work 3 out of the 4 days I worked last week, and I biked with all three kids to the library on Thursday night. No easy feat, since I had the bike trailer, a bike seat on the back of my bike, plus the 3 kids, and their bags of library books (which probably equals the weight of Foster Child #3!)

I did drive the 1 mile to the hardware store on Thursday-boo! But, my grampa was helping me with pressure washing our wood ramp, and we needed something. I offered to go to the store, but since I was on his time, I knew I needed to do it quickly so he could get back home (especially since this was after doing his chemo treatment-he definitely gets ROCK STAR status!). So, I drove.

My goal this week is to NOT have to put gas in the car until we go on vacation. We have just under a quarter of a tank. I wish that I could attain my goal of only driving 3 or 4 days this week, but I've already driven every day this week, and I will be driving tomorrow,and probably Thursday as we get ready for Family Camp
