    Hey, glad to see some others sticking with it!
    2mi run and 1mi walk this morning. 1mi walk w/ dog tonight. Only 3.5 miles left, so I should be done on Thursday, not that it changes anything. Still plenty of work to go!

    I just completed the dreaded Week 5 Day 3 of C25K which involves a 20 minute run. As usual I continued around the lake after making my total to 36 miles. Had a family crisis this week. But I wll be plugging away and continue posting too simcat. Great job Pam.

    Woo Hoo! I made it! I'm a bit surprised that my running and walking are pretty even and am happy with that. Just seeing what real life looks like on paper.
    KeriA - I remember that week of C25k from last year. I was seriously afraid of that day! Isn't it amazing what the mind and body can do?!
    Good luck to everyone continuing on!

    Hi everyone. SimKat it is very cool you are doing this running and walking and you are on track with both! Just Bethy you are almost done! I am still behind and will take to September 1 to complete this challenge. I considered converting my Zumba class to miles walked and decided against it. I want this to be walking or running or even biking but Zumba and Aquafit are really different types of exercise. However it was nice to know that I would be about where I need to be by now if I did add it in. So this morning I did Week 6 Day 1 of C25k for another 3 miles since I continued around the lake. I am hoping to get more walking in this weekend while we are on our family camping trip. We usually do some hiking. So congrats to those who are finishing up and I am trudging along. Happy August all.

    We did lots of hiking, touring etc...I had my pedometer on most of the time...so its a guesstamation! I was there for 11 days and most days we did 2 miles some days more (and I assume a few days less) Im going to walk with the kids today and put my pedometer on! I gotta get moving if ill reach my goal by sept 1!!!

    You'll make it. I think I will have to throw in a few long walks this month too. Have a great walk.

    Great mileage on the elliptical. My husband and I took a 1.5 hour walk which is 4.5 miles added for me today. I do Zumba on Fridays. I love it. Maybe tomorrow I will do the elliptical before aquafit.

    Hi, I was on the elliptical to add another half mile and I rowed a bit too but I will use that to up my walk/run to 3 miles tomorrow. So now I am at 71 miles. This doesn't count my aquafit or Zumba. This was a great morning for me I finally lost a whole pound. Just easing out of a plateau so I am thrilled.

    Yes you will do it, nachisdoll. I am counting walking and running. I did my C25K walk/run this morning to add 3 miles. So almost at 75 miles. I will be going at this until the last day!

    Great progress Nachisdoll, I am adding 4 miles in from my 3 mile walk/run including completing Week 7 of C25K and a mile of elliptical, rowing and stationary bike at the gym during my strength training.

    Well today I did my C25K run/walk which I usually don't do on the weekend since I like to walk with my husband but my son went and he was running so I decided to start Week 8. So I hit the 80s. I am going to be down to the wire.

    I am the only one posting here I guess. I still have a few days till September 1 though to finish. I just added 3 more miles. That leaves 14 miles to go.
