    7/9--4.03 miles

    The last two evenings it has been raining so I did not go for a walk. Today it was raining this afternoon but stopped for awhile, so I got to go for a walk. After I got back I took off my shoes and got some water and was going to go sit in the back yard to cool off but it started pouring. I got lucky not only did I avoid the evil treadmill but I managed to avoid getting rained on.

    7/10--4.4 miles

    I did some calculations--I need to walk 4 miles for 14 more days this month to meet my goal, that gives me 5 days off for vacation and 2 rest days. I think that is doable, I really want to meet my goal this month.

    We are doing great this month, 71.16 miles so far. WTG!!!

    2.4
    .4

    (I'm really not some miles natzi, I just keep a spreadsheet so it is easier to keep up with and to post on the main board and I like my totals to match your totals.)

    Yeah I hadn't updated it yet ;) Thx!

    Also I found out the pool I swim is 50m, how do I figure the miles for swimming? Is it actual or is it converted?

    I figured it was a typo since ticker makes you put in your new total, just wanted to make sure I was posting correct numbers.

    I think swimming is actual miles. Here is a calculator:
    http://www.metric-conversions.org/length/meters-to-miles.htm
    bstamps can verify since she swims alot.

    In swimming, 1500m is generally considered 1 mile. In any meet or competition, they will interchange "the mile" with "1500m." So 30 laps in your pool = 1 mile. I haven't seen anyone convert their swim miles to anything even though it's by far the slowest way to log miles.

    I've been working a lot at my secondary job, with no internet so I've been missing the social aspect of MFP!

    7/11: 4.1 Miles Running and walking
    7/12: 6.67 Miles converted to walking from biking (it was 17 mi biking)
    7/13: 1.25 Mi swimming

    total 12.02 miles for those days, 32.09 Miles for the month.

    Hey Sole Sisters:

    I wanted you to know I didn't dissappear, I just didn't work out this week.

    I have 3 vertabras misaligned in my neck, somehow this causes my right hip to shift out of place and my back to tighten up. When my back tightens up I can't sleep. I started having trouble sleeping a couple of weeks ago but Sunday night was not able to sleep at all. I went to get a deep tissue massage on Tuesday and I've been sleeping alot since then. The massages are painful and takes a couple of days before my back feels like moving again. I plan on going walking tonight.

    7/17--2.2 miles

    I've been dealing with my neck/back for the past 10yrs, it was really bad last year. I finally found an upper cervical chiropractor that has helped some but I haven't made any progress in the last few months so I made an appointment with a new doctor in September. My chiropractor thinks I have whiplash from over 20 years ago and a mild case of scoliosis. Right now it is about lots of stretching, pain management, and finding a balance to not over do physical activity. It is just frustrating that I have the time and I'm motivated to lose weight and get in shape but my body puts too many limitations on me. I just need to be happy that I'm going in the right direction now.

    Ya'll are doing great, we are up to 122.26 miles. WTG!!!
