    Hey hey hey!!! I'm so slappin impressed with you guys! It's probably a good thing I'm sittin June out. I'd be choking on your dust anyway. :D

    It is desperately hot down here in Cajun Country. Seriously, had to break out my gills just to breathe. But my word, the produce! Gardens are flourishing with fresh yumminess! I can't seem to find enough hunger to get it all in. And the watermelons are just heavenly... Perfect for a hot summer afternoon.

    Y'all keep it up. Ima get back to my lightly salted fresh-outta-da-fridge watermelon and cantaloupe. :p

    It is a little quieter than usual. Maybe folks are just too hot.

    Steve, I'm so sorry for all those farming families. I grew up on a farm, it was our livelihood, so I know how a season of bad weather can be quite detrimental.

    Thanks, Hopefully... Finally got a few rides in to meet a goal. Past few months I been in this challenge I couldn't even get to the 100 mile. Been gone every weekend and not riding. In the past I was usually around 300+ miles for a month. Oh well I set my goal for the year at 1200 and I'm at 236

    Most importantly I wanted too respond about the floods. I have seen a lot about them on the news. Always so sad when things like floods, tornados, etc happen. All we can do is pray for the families and help out if it is possible in some way.

    WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW you guy's have done extremely well since I have been away! I did laugh out loud at the conversation between Machka and girlinahat! I LOVE THAT PHOTO. I can not think of anything more lovely and wonderful than walking, riding, jogging, running in the presence of GODS AMAZING CREATION AND BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

    I DID NOT lag behind. As hot and humid as it was I did manage walks. My poor girls could only do early morning and late evening. Furry animals don't do well in HEAT. Where we were it rained every mid afternoon. The sun would come out and then it was extremely humid. Here at home (I'm told) it rained only once and has been extremely HOT.... Today is pleasant as it rained yesterday evening and is cloudy today...

    HERE is the UPDATE on MY progress:

    Did the Insane Inflatable 5K today, but my phone GPS claims 2.6 miles. It was fun but the shifting ground on the inflatable obstacles twisted my leg, so I'm going to have to take it easy for a while.

    This was my first 5K, so a fun event seemed like a good idea.

    Pedometer has me at 5 additional walking miles today.

    June Total: 115.4 miles
    Walking: 44.3 mi (major walking days only)
    Walk/Run: 22.4 mi (Target: 25 mi)
    Cycling: 49.7 mi (Target: 200 mi)

    A busy weekend. Saturday saw a circular walk to find a white horse hill figure. I think the last person to walk that footpath was about the years ago. There were nettles, thistles, and horse flies. And I was wearing shorts. Which wasn't such a clever idea as Saturday evening involved a posh frock do, and there's me with scratches and welts all up my legs, itching like crazy.

    Yesterday a gentle swim followed by a relieve-hangover walk around the harbourside, and then this evening a ride with a couple of friends, one showing off their new bike.

    Right, nearly at the end of the month so here's my stats
    Cycling - 66/60 miles - result!!
    Walking - 62/40 miles - nailed it!!
    Swim - 12/120 laps
    Stronglifts 5X5 - 5/6 times
    Lindy Hop class - 1/4 times - actually two back-to-back classes plus social dancing!!!

    Total mileage - 128/100 miles. - woohoo!!!

    Now if I could just stop the itching!!!

    06 Sat - 100 kilometre ride on our Bike Friday Pocket Llamas (folding bikes). The route was relatively flat, but had the added challenge of rain for the first half of the ride. Fortunately it was a warm day for winter, and wasn't at all windy for a change!

    That was the longest distance we have ridden the folding bikes so far. It was kind of a test ride to see how we would go over that distance. We were reasonably comfortable. I was having a few back/right hip issues, but stretching seemed to help.
