Hi everyone! I'd like to change my exercise goal to swimming laps for 30 minutes three days/week (on the same days as the C25K)- I have an old knee injury that has started to flare up with the running and I've been benched.. the doc says swimming should be fine unless it causes the same issue. I figured that swimming, while it is a great work out, will be easier on the joints. :swim:

July 16: 0.87 - today was an exhausting day, and I am very sleep deprived. I open at 4am tomorrow at work again, so we will see how the scale is tomorrow. Crossing my fingers for a loss. It's supposed to be above 90 degrees most of this week, which I'm not looking forward to. Hike with neighbor is Sunday, which is forecasted to only be 81 (hooray!) but my next day off (Wednesday) hike likely won't happen. It's supposed to be 96 that day.

Week 3 total: 4.10 miles

Overall total: 30.52 miles

jrkessle: we're expecting 100+ degrees later this week. I'll either walk in the morning or figure out an indoor workout (clear off the treadmill or dance or do a workout DVD)

We're experiencing an extreme heat emergency, so I'm getting my walk in right after I wake up. It's a good thing that I developed a yoga habit a week or so ago at that time. But, it probably means that my walk takes the place of the yoga for a few days.

I made my 1200 minutes (with some to spare) during this morning's water walk in the swimming pool.
I'm adding a bonus goal of another 400 minutes (for a total of 1600).
Love these days when the pool is open! I can get in both morning and evening!

I've really been enjoying this challenge. Thanks guys for helping me get back into exercise :D, especially gardenerjoy for managing these threads for us. :) In about a month, I've gone from being almost sedentary to consistently working out again, and that feels great. :) I'm even strongly considering signing up for Beachbody on Demand, excited at the prospect of having so many quality workouts to choose from at will. What's happened to me? :lol:

July 23: 4.84 - my neighbor and I did our hike with our dogs today. 3.34 miles, with a lot of ascending. We only climbed 600 feet, but that's a lot when you're already up 7,000 feet lol. After the hike we walked to lunch, which was 1.50 miles round trip.

July 24: 0 - after the almost 5 miles Sunday, I was INCREDIBLY sore and beyond exhausted. I crashed yesterday after work, and then ended up with a bout of food poisoning last night. Bleh. Back on track today! And only 3.43 miles to go til I hit goal. I'll likely get to 60 miles this month!
