July Walking Challenge
 
Hope no one minds I started this up for the new month! I got a good start and wanted to report it for accountability!

I did the 3 mile WATP Express followed by 1.38 miles on the treadmill. I had a book on CD to finish, so it kept me going!

Have a great weekend and KEEP WALKING!

oops sorry I posted here then saw the Canadian one. Going to post there.

ArtsyGirl 07-02-2006 05:56 AM

Thanks for starting the thread Michelle.

I'm upping my goal for the month by 5 miles. I'm hoping to finish 80 miles this month. I did 4 yesterday, and will leave in a few to get in 2 more this morning before church.

July Challenge
 
Hi all! Hope your holiday weekend is going well. Last month I walked 55 miles, this month I'm aiming for 60 miles. I'm off to a good start, today DH & I walked 7 3/4 miles. :cool:

Hpnotq 07-02-2006 11:25 PM

Since I'm just starting with walking I'm gonna set a goal of 20 miles....2 down today.

JigglyBits 07-03-2006 12:49 AM

I'd like to join! I've never counted how many miles I've done before but I'll give it a shot if it'll keep me going.
I'll aim for 30 miles since I'm just starting this. I love leslie's 4 mile challenge so I'll mostly be doing that or treadmill. :)

ArtsyGirl 07-03-2006 05:55 AM

Good morning ladies!!!

Nice to see some new walkers this month. I'm doing a short 2 miler this morning, then I'm off to Cedar Point for the day! I wonder how many calories riding roller coasters burns?! At least I'll get lots of walking around the park in-just wont know how much.

Have a great day!

Hpnotq 07-03-2006 04:47 PM

2 miles more this morning....making my total 4 miles outta 20

Wow --Ticker just posted my total of 120 minutes for today when I just joined the tape parade--I just love all the lines to represent our weight loses and exersise achievements-I feel like a new woman after just 3 days of opting to get off my couch and hit the pavement. We can all keep pounding off the pounds--''POP's'' I like it.

Michele L 07-04-2006 06:36 PM

WOW! It's great to have some new walkers along with some familiar ones this month! I also increased my goal this month from 75 to 80 ( I did 78 last month). I'm probably a bit behind already for the month, since we went camping Sun-today. I did some hiking on the trails, but the GPS tells me it was about 2.62 miles (I only counted intentional fitness walking). That puts me at 9 miles so far this month.

I got some new WATP's in the mail and I did 2 of them today: Booster mile using 3 pound weights and Morning Mile plus abs. I still have the Short Cuts for Abs and 10 minute ab-buster to try out. Now that we're back home, I'll get back into a routine and crank out the miles again.

Hope everyone has had a GREAT holiday weekend!

Brandy, I hope your 5k was a success!

sillybutt 07-05-2006 04:25 AM

Can I join in? I'm just starting up again after having a baby 12 weeks ago. I just got a Leslie Sansone Walk the Walk DVD yesterday so I'm ready to get moving!

My goal for July will be 50 miles. :)

ArtsyGirl 07-05-2006 07:14 AM

Good morning walking buddies!

I had a nice 4 mile walk this morning putting me at 17 for the month.

My 5K went very well. I think my time was 28:57. I was expecting it to be around 33, so I'm very happy with that. Heck, I'm just happy I ran the whole thing.

Genesis-What an awesome goal!!!!! I am in awe.

Have a wonderful day!

idest 07-05-2006 01:14 PM

Hi everyone! Just back from a weekend away.

I missed my goal of 75 miles last month, so I'm going to try again.

July goal: 75
Miles walked: 12
Miles to go: 63

Genesis 07-05-2006 08:06 PM

July goal = 114 miles
Miles walked = 18.5
Miles to go = 95.5

I managed 8.5 miles on the treadmill today...but man oh man that's booooring! I was aiming for 10 miles, but when my hubby called and said he was on his way home, that was all I needed to throw in the towel and jump in the shower. I find it so mentally difficult doing anything more than 5 miles on a treadmill. Maybe I need to change my attitude. Let's seee....Gee, I love treadmills! Maybe I'll walk 20 miles on the treadmill tomorrow!!!! Yeah right!

Brandy, that's a GREAT time for your first 5k. AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!! After the 3-Day in October I might try running again. After you have a few 5ks under your belt, do you think you'll try a 10k?

ArtsyGirl 07-06-2006 07:29 AM

Morning everyone.

Got another 4 miles in this morning. It was nice and cool for a change.

Miles walked=21
Miles to go=59

Genesis-I agree on the treadmill being boring. I cant do more than an hour on them before I'm ready to lose it. Lucky for me Michigan is cooler than Florida. I'm not sure about a 10K. I've only been running for 6 weeks and I need to see how my ankle holds up over time. If my body can do it, I'll probably try a 10K, but it wont be til next spring I imagine.

GenreGirl 07-06-2006 09:47 PM

Michele L 07-07-2006 08:52 AM

I am falling SO behind! First, it was the camping trip, then yesterday I had an all-day class. I have another one on Monday, too. I need to do 6 miles today to catch up for the month (if I average 2.6 miles a day, I'll get my 80 miles by the end of the month).

You guys are doing GREAT!! KEEP UP THE HARD WORK!!!

Everybody is doing a great job this month!!!! I'm impressed! I just returned from 6 miles in the mid-day Florida heat. I literally have sweat pouring down my body (ewwww -gross!). Time for a shower!!!!

JigglyBits 07-08-2006 04:21 AM

ArtsyGirl 07-08-2006 12:03 PM

Morning gals and happy weekend.

Keep it up!!!!

Michele L 07-08-2006 12:08 PM

I did the first day of Couch to 5K today!! I ended up with 2.25 miles in 41 minutes on the treadmill. I'm still behind where I'd like to be at this point in the month, but I'm making progress.

Keep Walking!

I walked a mile around town on Friday with DD (16 lbs) in a front-pack carrier. :) And tonight I did my 2-mile Walk the Walk DVD. Great workout to get me back into the swing of things!

Michele L 07-09-2006 06:47 PM

Today I did a total of 4 miles of WATP: Booster Mile with stretchie, Morning with 3 pound weights, and Two Mile Walk (done in 25 minutes)!

I'm still a bit behind, but feeling good about my progress. Tomorrow is another all-day class, but it's my last one before I go back to work on August 16. Of course, before that I have 10 days of vacation--all that driving and camping--how will I ever get my walks in????


Have a great evening!

My training partner and I met at 8am this morning at a trail in Lake Mary. It was a very enjoyable 10 mile walk with the temp peaking at around 90. Fortunately there was some cloud cover so the sun wasn't pounding directly down on us the whole time. We passed some acrobatic goats, a dead armadillo, many barking dogs, and one frisky senior in a wheel chair. The long walks are soooo much more enjoyable with a partner. Walking 10 miles solo feels like 20 - but walking 10 miles together feels like 5.

Keep up the great work everybody!!!
