Well, so much for my promise for eating right. :( I had it all planned out and everything... then we got to the restaurant, and it went downhill from there. Sunday wasn't any better. Blech. I feel awful. The saying "you are what you eat" is so true. Oh well, no use fussing over spilled milk, just focus on what's ahead of me, right? :^:
Exercise was minimal over the weekend. But will make up for it today. At least 2mi and pilates. DD's ballet recital was fantastic (she's 4), they all did a great job! Now she's wanting to do tap and ballet in the Fall. :D Hope everyone else did better at staying OP than I did! Keep up the great work, ladies... only a week and a half left of June! :) ~mel |
June goal - 77 miles
Walked so far - 45 Miles to go - 32 It POURED yesterday when my training partner and I went for our Sunday morning walk. Fortunately, I remembered to bring my green emergency rain poncho. 89 cents from Target's camping section....great idea, self (patting myself on the back). But the poncho only fell to my waist, so my lower half was soaking wet, including my shoes and socks. We managed to walk 6 miles in the downpour - were planning on 10 but I'll take a soaking wet 6. Then later that day after I dried out and changed clothes, I went back to Target and bought six more ponchos. :) |
Good idea with the poncho, I got in 3.5 miles this weekend. So I'm at 13.5 out of 30.
Happy hockey tonight. Diana |
One mile yesterday and 3.8 this morning before startting walk/run intervals.
Goal: 75 miles Accomplished: 43.3 |
Ugh, it's been a few days since I've posted. Life keeps getting in the way :) But at least I'm keeping up the workouts! :D
6/17 - 2 mile WATP 6/18 - 3 mile WATP w/ weights 6/19 - 3 mile WATP w/weights 6/20 - 2 mile WATP Which brings my total for the month as of today (6/20) up to 46 miles. Not sure if I'm going to be able to hit that 80 mile mark this month or not :( |
Got 4mi in yesterday and will try to do that again today. Might only get 2mi in though. Guess we'll see. :)
Hope everyone is having a great first day of summer! :sunny: Take care, ladies! ~mel |
Did a 4 mile WATP today. That pushes my miles to 50 for the month. Still way short of my 80 mile goal, but maybe I can work it all in.
|
WOW! i'm really impressed! how do you ladies walk so many miles in a week? where can i get a mile counter at cheap! my husband and i are in the throws of starting our own business so money is crazy tight right now. i think i would like to get up 70 or 80 miles a week. right now though i think i'll start with 10 :)
|
Another 2.8 miles down.
pound4pound, I got a fairly inexpensive pedometer at a sports store... but you can also map out your walking route here and track the distance that way... Getting the miles in isn't that difficult for me bacause I live in a big city-- so I walk everywhere except to work (currently commuting out to New Jersey) and the laundramat (no way I'm carrying those heavy bags half a mile!). That means I walk to Curves, walk to the grocery store (I've started shopping daily for perishable items while having staples delivered once a week by Fresh Direct), walk to a restaurant, etc. I also reserve three mornings a week for a serious walk/run. I get up early and walk two miles to the park, spend 20 minutes on the track doing walk/run intervals, and then walk the two miles home again. Goal: 75 miles Accomplished: 46 |
Hey... where is everybody? Out walking, I hope! ;)
Good job, idest, getting in those miles! Feels good, doesn't it? Keep up the great work! :carrot: pound4pound, just a quick clarification: this is a monthly thread, not weekly, so we aren't walking 70-80mi per week. Man alive, I wish I had that kind of endurance. ;) Good for you for setting your weekly goal at 10mi, that's fantastic! Keep up the great work! I didn't walk at all yesterday, but did manage to get 5mi in today. That brings me up to 69 total. I might do a couple more tonight, just to break the 70mi mark. :) Off to DD's preschool graduation...! Hope everyone's having a great day! Take care! ~mel |
This is a quick post from the road. So far I'm managing to get my miles in even though I'm traveling for work. To recap this week...
Tuesday - 4 miles Wednesday - 6 miles Thursday - 6 miles Here are the totals... June goal - 77 miles Walked so far - 61 Miles to go - 16 I think I just might make my goal for the month. Good luck everybody! |
2.6 miles in last night and 3 in this morning as part of my walk/run routine.
Genesis, awesome that you're getting so many miles in while on a business trip! Goal: 75 miles Accomplished: 51.6 |
Did a 4 mile WATP this afternoon. Total for the month is 52 miles, Goal is 80 miles.

Well, I'm out of the June walking challenge. I'll continue to walk as my knee condition permits, but it's getting worse, going out on me during just normal standing and walking, and I've had some scary news medically about it. Until I get more testing and make some progress with the prescribed physican therapy, I need to coddle it. Though on good days, I'll risk walking as far as I'm able.
|
I haven't posted in awhile, but I've been walking! I'm at 55 miles so far, with a goal of 75, so it's within reach!
Happy Walking! Michele :wave: |
Siena, I'll be thinking about you and hoping your knee responds well to the therapy.
For my report: I got a mile in yesterday and three miles in this morning as part of my run/walk routine. Goal: 75 miles Accomplished: 54.6 |
Update: I'm at 61 miles! I'm gonna make my goal!!!!:carrot: :carrot: :carrot:
Michele :wave: |
Hey all - I just started a walking program and I wanted to join the thread!! Talk about last minute, but better late than never, right?;) I did 2 miles yesterday and 4 miles today. I guess I will make my June (whats left of it) goal 20 miles.:running:

Got in a 2 mile WATP on Saturday and again today. I'm now at 60 miles by my calculations. Not gonna reach my 80 mile goal. Think now that I'm lifting weights as well as walking I'm going to have to rethink my goal next month. I don't do as long of a walk on the days I'm lifting.
|
Hi ladies,
I reached my goal this morning. I dont think I'll make my exercise minute goal, but at least I got one of them. I had a nice rock climbing/white water rafting trip last week, and had to guesstimate, so I erred on the low side to make sure I didn't cheat myself. Keep it up! You are all doing wonderful! |
I walked another 3.5 miles in the rain today. So fa that makes 46.3 miles this month, 2.3 mile sbeyond my goal. YAY!!
|
Hey all - I did 2.5 miles today, and it is blazin' hot up here in the Pacific Northwest!! I have to say that I am loving every minute of it; I am actually suprised at how dry the heat is here...Anyway - I just wanted to post my progress!!! :carrot:
|
It's a little late for me to jump in on the June walking challenge but I'm making it a goal to walk at least 75 miles for July! Hope you don't mind me joining you!
|
Welcome Apoline and Michelle!!!
Walked 4 miles this morning in the hazy humid weather. I feel nasty, but accomplished. Have a great day. |
Another three miles in. Not sure I'll make my goal this month, sadly. Still, I'll keep walking, and there's always next month! :)
Goal: 75 miles Accomplished: 58.6 |
We walked again today, even though it rained hard enough we thought we'd be washed away.
Date- 6/27 Miles- 2.8 Miles this month- 49.1 5.1 miles over my original pledge!! |
Hi gals,
I added another 4 miles this morning. It was a much nicer morning than yesterday. Not nearly so humid! I included a 15 minute run at the fastest pace I've tracked so far. My 5K is next week!!! I'm feeling a bit nervous about it, but I think I'll do ok. I ran 2.6 miles on Mon., and really think I could've kept going. My pace was slow, but thats ok. My goal for the race is NO WALKING. Beyond that I really don't care what my time is. Great job on walking everyone!! Its truly amazing to see the miles rack up for everyone. Have a great day! |
Been so busy the last few days... man alive. Summer events are in full swing... already. :dizzy:
A couple miles short of goal, but will finish up tonight. :) Yay! Very proud of the progress. :) Sounds like everyone has done a great job this month! WTG, ladies! :) Take care. Have a great day. ~mel |

If only there were a few more days in the month! I'm off to Vermont for the weekend and will be doing a lot of hiking.
I'm going to try to get some more miles in this evening. Goal: 75 miles Accomplished: 65 |
