Default August Walking Challenge

My August walking challenge is 135 miles.



It will be difficult, because the 1st half of the month I'm traveling for business and then I have to travel to my grandmother's memorial service. But, I'm determined to make it!!!

What's your August goal?????

I would like to join this month, with a goal of 100 miles.

This will be the 3rd start in 2006. I am going along good and then I get sick. So if I can just stay healthy, I hope to go for the rest of the year.

Hi gals-I'm in for the month. I'm going to try to match my July goal of 80 miles. This will be a busy month so its a bit lofty, but I'm worth the time needed, right?

Genesis-my 3 day walk is coming quick-only a week and a half left! I can't wait!!!

Hi everyone! I'm in, too! I have to back my goal down a bit to 65 miles. We will be on vacation in Yellowstone from the 2nd through the 12th and then I go back to work (I'm a teacher). If I can do more, I certainly WILL. I just don't want to set myself up for failure after 2 really good months!

Happy walking!

Michele

My August walking challenge is 82 miles, about 5 miles more than last month. I hope it cools off a little, it's tough to get my miles in whenthe heat is so intense.

Morning gals-I got in 4.5 miles this morning (run 20 minutes (2 miles)-walk the remainder.) It was hotter than heck out there. Cant wait for this to break and cool off.

I did the 2 mile Express followed by the 2 mile abs workouts yesterday. I'll do another workout today before we leave for vacation.

I may not be on here very much until the 12th, but I WILL be walking and keeping track!


Keep walking!

Got just over 4 miles in this morning before the storms rolled in. I'm hoping this'll break both the heat and humidity we've been stuck with.

Have a great walk today.

Hi, can I join? I would like to say 100 miles. My DH bought me a treadmill last Christmas and it will get me to really keep track now of each time I use it...I love it..but, never really look at how many miles I walk!
