    Aug 22 - 3.17 miles
    Aug 26 - 6.55 miles
    Aug 30 - 5.61 miles

    Didn't make my goal, but I'm still happy with 50 for the first month if tracking mileage. And considering my wife was in the ER a couple times one week, I'll take it as a win all the same. Will push harder next month for 60!

    Here is my update for august.

    I take it easy and set for 40 km

    Mostly walked, but overachieved my goal!

    Sorry for not posting individual runs, I was doing it, but accidentally cancelled it.

    Total distance run/walked = 79.7 km!!!

    Well, I didn't exactly make my "running" goal - but overall, if I include my 18 miles of hiking, I would have been 3.2 over the mileage goal. Given the improvement in my hiking stamina, I'll take it!

    In case you didn't notice where the September link was.
    I just set up the September Running Challenge. It can be found here:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1417632-september-running-challenge

    You can start declaring your miles now but wait till Monday September the 1st to begin logging.

    Everyone is doing so great with the August Challenge. I wish you all the luck.

    Just got back from travels out of town, but did want to report that August was 116.9 miles on 18 runs. I added another 30 miles or so on the bike and row machine so despite the 3rd month of summer sauna in FLA, we keep marching on. I even took off the 31st after my first 10 miler in months on the 30th.

    Thanks to these threads, I've met the 100 mile target for I believe 14 straight months so I appreciate the motivation.

    Onto September.
