August goal = 135 miles
Miles walked = 96
Miles to go = 39

I've achieved two personal fitness goals within an 8 day span!!!!

Last Sunday I walked the farthest I've ever walked....20 miles.

Today I ran the farthest I've ever ran w/ no stops or walking breaks....5 miles.


It took me about 55 minutes to run the 5 miles, so I'm not breaking any speed records but the fact that I was able to maintain a jog for nearly an hour is pretty cool!

AND....

This morning I nailed a job interview! The salary isn't high enough for me, but the fact that I nailed it and by the end of the interview the owner of the company was asking me for advice on how to serve his clients is a nice ego boost!

It's been a good day!

:D

CONGRATS GENESIS!!!! What a great week you're having. I can't wait till I can run 5 miles straight. I still havent gotten to 4, but I will. Glad you got a 20 miler under your belt. You're going to breeze through your 3 day!!!

I got my 4 miler in this morning with beautiful, crisp weather. It was fabulous.

Thanks, Brandy! I feel really good about my training for the 3-Day. When I first decided to take the plunge, I was nervous about walking the full 60. Now I know that I will be adequately prepared and should be able to make it all 60 miles (fingers crossed).

Just got back from a BLAZING 5 miles in the Florida heat.

August goal = 135 miles
Miles walked = 101
Miles to go = 34


Buddha Belly - Nice work!!! Keep up the walking!

I met my intended goal for August yesterday! SO......I increased it! At first I thought 70 miles, but I think I can do 75!

Have a great weekend!

Way to go Michelle!!!!!!!!!!!

I reached my walking goal this morning. Its humid and rainy here, but not really hot. I'm looking forward to the fall and the lack of humidity. Guess I need to look at the calendar and see what I'll shoot for next month.

Great job ladies!
