    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, CA

    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!!

    That's all you can do, Sweetie, your best. I'm sure it is difficult with a new baby. I can't even imagine that!

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

    you and I are FAR apart! I live in TENNESSEE.... <3
