    Awesome! I love this thread. I'm late to the party, but have my own August Goal of 150 miles and this will help keep me motivated!

    I'm trying to log 150 miles in the month of August of Walking/jogging: I'm on pace, but will need some inspiration:

    8/1: 6.2 miles
    8/2: 6.2 miles
    8/3: 6/3 miles
    8/4: 6.2 miles
    8/5: 6.2 miles
    8/6: 6.2 miles

    37.2 miles down with 112.8 miles to go!

    I'm just starting to exercise again (130 lbs to get rid of) and started walking 35 min. every other day beginning July 30. I'm going to up it to seven days a week starting today and try to increase time through the month. I strength train three days a week, too. Considering walking a 5K for my school on Aug. 30th...any thoughts on that?

    P.S. Friend me if you like! I am getting serious on tracking my food on this and reading others' posts have helped me improve in the accountability department!

    I only had time for a quick 10 minute walk yesterday 8/7, but I added up my time and averaged 3mph

    4 hours and 25 min, approx. 12.75 miles

    Might be a bit more or less than that, because I've been walking outside with no sense of distance, but also walking/jogging at 4 mph for long stretches on the treadmill too... Still! Almost 4.5 hours in 8 days feels pretty good to me. :)
