August is upon us. Summer is going FAST! 
join me for the August challenge? 
I challenge you too walk, jog, run, bike, anything that gives you steps and stack up those miles!
I was behind in July by 10.75 miles. That mostly due too Rain, High Humidity and outside home projects that had too be done. We are still not done painting but half the house is done and then on too the deck! oh joy! lol
SO my personal goal is going too be 115 Miles this time. IF I go over then great. If not? well I just keep on keeping on...

I'm in. . .I have had the same goal of 210 miles for quite a few months. . .I have only made the goal once. Although I have not quit or gotten discouraged I decided it was time to re-evaluate and maybe try for a more attainable goal. Based on my last few months I'm going to set my goal for 175 miles.2

Thanks!
My husband and I were in Canada for a month from mid-June to mid-July so we got beautiful summer weather then, but we've been freezing since we got back! We had intended to do a whole lot more cycling etc. but the desire to be indoors where it was warm was strong.
Thanks again for starting another month here! 1 -

Jeanniewes - it looks like it is mainly you and i! Let's keep each other motivated! I'm determined to get to 100km!
I'm off my regular walking schedule because mu husband is home this week and we have been doing renos. I should be back on track by Sunday hopefully but plan on going for a walk tomorrow!
How are you keeping up with your walks? How do you stay motivated?
Also where are you from? I'm from North Bay, ON, CA1 -
I'm still here!! I've just fallen victim to the cold/flu that's sweeping this state. Blech. And I've been up to my eyeballs in university work.
However, I have done some exercise so as soon as I get a sec, I'll log it.
You're all doing great!!1 -

rccsinger is here a lot as well. There are very few of us in August though it seems. I STILL CARRY ON!!!
