I'm over 1/2 way to goal for July!!!!!!!!!
I walked somewhere between 10 to 12 miles today in the blazing sun (I lost track of my miles, so I'm estimating on the low side for my official monthly mile total). I had to take frequent rest stops in order to avoid overheating. At one point I became very nauseous and broke out in goose bumps and chills even though it was in the 90s with high humidity. Fortunately right at that moment I passed an area of the trail with a big shaded kid's play area with benches, restrooms, and a misting station! And boy did I need a good misting and a rest on a bench in the shade! I was able to cool off enough to finish the 10 miles without further incident.
Keep up the walking, ladies! We're half way done with July!!!!

I met my mini-goal for the weekend....20 miles. My training partner and I tried a new trail...the Orlando Wetlands Park. Very interesting place. Vultures everywhere - a bit creepy. We saw alligators, snakes, turtles, tons of birds, snarling raccoons, and heard some crazy toads. It is hard to describe the atmosphere of the place. Very interesting and beautiful, but also scary and desolate. A horror film could easily be filmed there. I would NEVER walk in that park by myself, but with a partner I felt safe.
I haven't checked in in awhile, but I HAVE been walking. It's been so darn HOT here I've been inside doing WATP's, but today I decided to mix it up and do the treadmill. I used a CD I found called Walking Music Greatest Hits Volume 1. It has a picture of Leslie Sansone, but it's actually put out by Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the "father of aerobics". It has two sets of music, each 30 minutes plus cool down. I can get a 2 mile walk in and the music is GREAT! In the end, I had 2.06 miles in 35 minutes.
Walk 30 minutes at 2.8mph
Walk 40 + 25 minutes at 3.0mph
Walk 30 + 25 minutes at 3.0mph
Walk 62 minutes at 3.0mph = 5k
Walk 30 + 30 minutes at 3.1mph
Walk 60 minutes at 3.1mph = 5k
Com'on Guys...Keep up the walking!!!! I know it's July....I know it's hot....but we gotta stick to it! I live in Florida, so I know heat and humidity. You can walk in the heat, just make sure you wear sunscreen, wear a hat and stay hydrated!
I walked around Lake Eola in downtown Orlando today - 4 miles (actually around 4.5, but I'll count 4 for the official total).
July goal = 114 miles
Miles walked = 80
Miles to go = 34
Hi ladies, sorry I've been away. I've been walking lots though but havent added them together so I'm not sure where I stand at the moment. Doesnt matter, I'm out there doing it, and feeling so much better when I do!!! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Hi gals, I've been keeping up with my walking and getting in about 4 miles every morning. I'm at 70 miles with only 10 to go to meet my goal!!! I can't wait for it to get a bit cooler here.
