    Didn't quite make my 150 last month but at least got above the 100 mark. Weather man made a joke but sad part it is closer to the truth than a joke " It only rained twice this year.. Once for 45 days and the other 35" We got over 15 inches just in June. Corn looks the worst I have ever seen it before..

    Goal 200

    TODAY early riser. a good thing as it is really Pouring the rain now Steve! It has rained every day for past three but not all day rains....Today we got in 3.0 Walking Miles. I thought too do another this evening but it is not looking too promising...

    Does biking 3 miles each way to a friends, eating too much pasta, then chlling in her hot tub with a glass of Prosecco count?

    ;)

    Targets to be set. Similar but greater than last month.

    Hello guys. I'm new to crew and was wondering if anyone minds explaining the July goal. I'm asuming that a person sets his/ her goal of mileage for the month. But what if I'm cycling, walking and running on different occasions? Do they count togethe or separate?

    Hello and welcome.

    The goal is your own, but fit most of us it's a total mileage formed however you can - so for example I might aim to walk 40 miles and cycle 60, but as long as I get to my total mileage goal of 100 miles it doesn't matter how I achieve that.

    So your cycling, running and walking can count together for a total mileage, and be separate mini-goals within that.

    The main challenge is to MOVE more, however you can.

    Oh man, I can tell I'm going to be challenged! I'm recovering from an injury involving my ankle and a drill, so my exercise last month was pitiful. To be completely honest, exercise is usually my weakest point, stitches or no. I'm really looking forward to my MFP friends cheering me on. My goal for July will be 150 miles, aiming for an average of 5/day. I will walk at least once/day on my breaks at work, go for a trail run twice/week, and hit a cardio machine at the gym once/week. Besides miles, I'd like to be consistent with swimming laps in my smaller apartment pool for 30 minutes twice/week and daily sun salutations before work or on my lunch. I can do this. We can do this. Let's do it!

    @girlinahat , you got it perfectly! The challenge is to MOVE and the goal you set is yours to set or reset as needed. No losers here. @lulubeanzy , welcome! And if you happen to not make your goal, you still get kudos because you put forth effort AND you put up with us crazy, oftentimes silly, most times hilarious milers that find wicked fun in encouraging each other and laughing at ourselves daily. :D So come on! Get started already!!

    I started out the month all right. Got a nice long holiday weekend to look forward to. It's Independence Day on Saturday here in the States, so I invite you milers across the pond to have a hot dog and some blueberry pie with us. ;)

    4 miles

    WELCOME Kelsey...

    We've had rain and rain and more rain for DAYS. I see a bit of sunshine and HOPE weather clears enough for an evening walk. My girls have not had anything more than potty breaks last two days. I know they miss their walks..

    HAPPY 4TH JULY too all you Americans! Husband had too work so I had a very quiet day. No celebrations here.

    Finally...FINALLY it stopped raining and dried enough for the girls and me too take a walk. They did 2 miles with me and then I dropped them off at home and continued on. Today I got in 3.50 Walking miles....

    TOTAL July 4th ...........13.25 Walking Miles....

    Checking in for duty..

    My goals:

    Cycling - 80 miles
    Walking - 50 miles
    Swim - 100 laps
    Stronglifts 5X5 - 6 times
    Lindy Hop class - 4 times

    Total mileage - 130 miles.

    Started the month badly. A 3 mile cycle each way, but then lounging in a hot tub with a glass or two of Prosecco made the ride back uncomfortable particularly when I came down hard on my crossbar.

    Took a few days to recover, but did a good eighteen miler this evening once it had cooled a bit. The moment when a stinging insect got caught in my cleavage was a shocking one, and now I lie writing this, with red lumpy welts growing across a tender part of my anatomy.......

    oh my girlinahat! You have had a bad start! THIS TOO SHALL PASS...Hang in there.
    It is (guess what?) RAINING AGAIN...rain, rain, rain and more rain. Where I live we have had around 12 inches of rain since Wednesday. I have 3 rain guages out. The are all about the same.... Will see IF it clears this evening enough too walk. Our road was flooded out so I did not even make Church Services today...

    I'm back! :)

    I had a wonderful holiday in nice warm Canada ... a welcome break from the cold and rain of Tasmania. I visited lots of family, travelled around southern BC, cycled and walked many kilometres, including one 100 mile ride (161 km) and a steep 9.5 km hike to the top of a mountain and back ... and I also ate lots :) There are several foods readily available in Canada which I cannot get here in Tasmania ... so I enjoyed those.

    Yes, I gained 2.5 kg, but suspected I would and I'm pleased it wasn't more. Now I'm back and on a mission to lose those 2.5 kg ... plus some.

    So ... I'm going to spend the next couple days catching up on things. :)
