    I'm the aforementioned friend! :) Trying to use this website more often as I used ....another one.. for a while. :) 2 miles down yesterday and getting ready to jump on the mill here in the next half hour or so... and go for 3. Great to have so many people who want to join us!

    Yay! You found the forum too :) Have a GREAT Run, I'm thinking about you and doing some Hula Hoop! :-)

    Come Christmas time I'll be blaring the Alvin song.. maybe the Mr. will get the hint and hook me up with a hullllla hooop :)

    I'm in! My goal is 50 miles this month. I'm starting a program to train for a 10K...but i'm going to start with walking so I don't do too much too soon.

    I am back to being serious about getting fit and losing weight. I was lazy the last two months. I will accept this challenge and shoot for 30 miles in the month of August. What a great idea!

    I did the same thing. :( I did so good Jan - April and then... nada. I did about 45 miles in March and 65 in April then sat around for the past few. I did 3 miles today and it. was. ROUGH.

    It will get easier! :heart:

    I would love to join! Since I haven't walked or even exercised much all summer I will have a goal of 30 miles this month.
    Thanks!

    I just saw this and I really needed a "goal" so I am in for 40 miles for this month. My treadmill will get some use again :) I have been stuck at this number for about a month so hopefully this will help get over this stall.

    I'm in. I ran 2.57 miles today, however, this is only the 3d time that I've been out to run in the last 6 months. I'm trying to get back into running as well ~ it does amazing & wonderful things to my body when I run! I had a baby in January so I have about 40 lbs. to lose! I am going to challenge myself to do 25 miles this month. If I succeed then I'll go up for next month. Good Luck everyone.

    Okay I am not a runner but I need a challenge to get me going. I can NEVER figure out how to breath when I run. I get soooo out of breath but I want to accept this challenge. I could do a mile or two a day just by walking. Since my challenge is to work out for 60 minutes a day at least for the next three months to get my body back in the mode of exercising since I am such a slacker. So I need all the encouragement I can get.
    I did 40 minutes in cycling class today.

    Thanks for the support girls :) I'm loving walking, and actually woke up at 5am pumped to get out there and do my walk before it got too hot out. I NEVER in a million years thought I'd be a morning person looking forward to exercise!

    8/1 - .45mi 27min
    8/2 - .45mi 24min

    Total - .9mi
    Goal - 15mi

    I'm getting quicker ^_^ small improvement!

    Im training for a 10k in order to get back into shape. I think a good goal for me would be 60 miles this month. I try to go jogging and walking 3 times a week or more. Im thinking of adding 2 pound weights to my workout.

    8/1: 3 miles jogging/walking
    8/2: 3miles jogging/walking; 2 miles walking

    8 miles down 52 to go! :happy:

    Sounds like everyone is off to a great start.

    I walked 3.5 Miles today. I think I'd be walking less if it wasn't for this challenge in the back of my mind the whole time :happy:

    HAPPY FRIDAY!
