    No walking today, getting ready for the weekend with our
    boat cruise. I did do 25 mins of strength training and
    dumb bells today. Looks like rain tomorrow maybe it will
    clear up for the afternoon and then I can walk. :happy:

    36 min 1 sec, 2.1 miles, 2.49 MPH (RunKeeper), 474 calories burned Polar F11)

    I used my new New Balance 1123’s today for the first time. Then have maximum motion control to correct overpronation, flat feet and plantar fasciitis. My feet feel good right now. I’ll see how they feel after I sit here for a while and then get up. Hopefully I will be able to walk without too much pain.

    25 mins walking today.

    Very humid out today came back from work all sweaty.
    Just sprayed the cologne, no one will notice the difference. :tongue:

    I am all for doing the August walking. I think I will change my ticker
    to minutes this time.

    Good luck everyone.

    lindaj07, I started exercise walking on the 6th, at 2.72 MPH and am now up to 3.44 MPH. I hope to be up to 3.5 on a regular basis by August.

    I made my July goal of 600 minutes today, at 601! I walked with The Bride and the dogs today, for 31 min. 57 sec, 1.54 miles at a slower pace of 2.89 MPH (RunKeeper) and burned 300 calories (Polar F11).

    I also met my weight loss goal for the week of 2 lbs., 3rd week in a row. I’m going to celebrate with a nice tall glass of ice water!

    Excellent news! I'm sure you can make 3.5 the way you're going! Good luck!

    2.2 miles tonight. I'm not going to make my goal, I totally underestimated the effect of the heat on my walking. I've been keeping busy with other exercise so I'm not too worried about it. I just got a treadmill so hopefully next month I'll be able to get back on track.

    Another 1.5 miles yesterday, already 1 today, will have more tonight, so not adding today's on yet - As of last night, up to 64.5, I have 3 days to get 10.5 miles in. Let's see, lots of walking tonight with cleaning job, then park tomorrow for family reunion - I should be able to do this! If not, then I will plan to make it to the fitness room at hotel tomorrow night to walk on treadmill...
