Hi Friends :-) Here’s our thread for the 100miles in August challenge. You can earn miles walking/running/biking/elliptical whatever cardio you do that your able to track your mileage. I have done this in June (75miles) and July (hit 89 miles!!) so I’m looking to actually hit 100 in August. I found this helps me stay motivated to get business done lol so what I do is track my daily miles in my exercise notes and at the end of the week come back here and let us know how you did :-) each week quote yourself and add your next week below the week before and we will see where we end up!!

I will post mine in the AM :-) Happy Cardio-ing :flowerforyou:

    I'm totally down for this!! I have an awesome app called Runkeeper that keeps up with your miles, pace, calories etc. I manily use it for pace/miles when I'm walking outside off the treadmill. LOVE IT! It also has a website where you can make goals like these and it tracks your progress! I will post it there and update here!!

    I use Endomondo to track my mileage by GPS, which is awesome since I do all my cardio outside (no treadmills and such).

    First week of August-18 walking miles 1 hour of tennis

    I need new shoes in a bad way, so I'm walking to Sports Authority tomorrow. It's about a 7.5 mile round trip, which will get me almost back on pace for 100 miles this month. I'll definitely get there with the new feets wear. ;)

    Got my new shoes today, and put 4 miles on them. Plus 3.75 on my old shoes, which puts me at 26 miles for the month so far. That's on pace for 100.75 miles. :)

    14.43 first few days plus 23.35 through today = 37.78 total so far on bike, stairclimber and treadmill :-)

    How's it going OP? Still keeping up your pace?

    Through the 11th, I'm at 39.4 (all walking).

    On pace for 111.

    This week:
    Saturday - 9 miles running
    Sunday - 43 mile bike ride
    Monday - 5 miles running
    Tuesday - 20 mile mike ride
    Wednesday - 5 miles running (5K as a race!)

    = 82 miles

    Tonight should be about 16 miles cycling and 3 miles running
    Friday will be about a mile of swimming... I'm going to need a bigger challenge...

    I think the road cycling makes this kind of easy - I typically run 25 - 30 miles a week when I'm Marathon training

    Hey - this time a year and a half ago I would have been proud of 100 miles of cycling in a month! Just saying - I might be better off targeting exercise cals than miles given my current sports mix.
