Welcome to the monthly walk/jog/run challenge! Please join us as we make a daily dedication to staying active!

This month, I am putting a twist on the challenge: I would like you to challenge yourself to your own daily dedicated distance! Some people find 1/2 mile a day to be a challenge while others find 5 miles a day to be a challenge! So aim high like a firework and let's support each other as we go the distance!!

    Love this! I'm in for at least a mile a day and hopefully much more ;)

    I am going to change my goal to a weekly goal of 12 miles/week and a daily goal of 10,000 steps. I have learned over the past month that having a dedicated walk or jog daily is sometimes not possible with the work hours I keep, so I'm going to work with it! I'm already off to a good start putting in 3.2 miles this morning!

    Wow! What a day! Did an intense work-out combining weights and walking for 2.8 miles to start the day off and then went to the beach, spending at least 2 hours in the water! I'm gonna sleep like a baby tonight...

    Walked the dog today for 1.26 miles. Had to cut it of early because she was getting too hot.

    Having trouble really getting back in groove since company left early today. Raining, too. Just not as productive with my exercise.

    2.0 miles 7/3

    You girls are doing great and are certainly keeping me moving. I have hit my goal and then some each day! I have to figure out how to turn the tracker on my phone again OR find my FitBit so I can find out exactly how far I have been walking, but I am thinking it is between 3-4 miles??
