Beginners Challenge.... 50 miles in August

3rd August - 1 mile yesterday and off for a nice long walk this evening
(NOTE - only counting extra miles not the 5 mins to the station and walking around the office type stuff done every day).
49 to go...

Good morning,

I'm in...this is the 3rd and at 2.71 miles right now. Will log each Saturday with progress.

8/3 - 2.71 miles
8/10 -
8/17 -
8/18 -
8/24 -
8/31 -

I finally got a mile in yesterday. A whole MILE! This bring my tally for August to.....ONE MILE.
LOL.

3 today and 8 so far. Total 11 miles in Aug!

Okay. I'm starting late, but I'm so in..Getting ready to set up my ticker..

Friday August 2nd
-walked 3.03 miles with my walking group at 8:30am

-did more walking in the evening of Friday August 2nd and ended up getting poured on and also heard thunder and saw lightning!
-in the evening walked to & from a festival & around a festival with friends but the time, speed, & calories aren't 100% accurate as sometimes we were standing around so my watch was clocking time that I wasn't moving so to balance it out when we did some of our walking later I kept the time stopped to "even it out"
-watch said we walked 1.57 miles but I know we did more than that but since some of it was slow walking I'm not worried about not being able to log the rest of the distance

Well am getting really cross
Every time I try and log in tyo my ticker to update it, it asks me to create a new one
Not goping to let this be ruined by bad software, so + 2.41 from today = 2.90 total

I am in. I am ordering a pedometer and it should arrive soon. I am also doing i 5k walk a week from sunday! 8/11

8/1 3.5mi.
8/2 2.75
8/3 4.25

anyone else doing this based off of their fitbit or just actual planned exercise? For me even getting in 50 with the fitbit would be awesome!

Sunday August 3rd
-walked 3.65 miles with my husband on a paved trail
-saw birds, squirrels, a bunny rabbit and a blue heron!
-perfect walking weather
-proud of myself for walking more than my required 2 miles
-pushed myself today.

Although I cannot seem to be able to add my ticker.....I have tried a few times but I'm sure I am doing SOMETHING wrong, Please add me to this challenge; I could truly use the motivation. My goal is 60 miles. Thanks so much!

I noticed you are pasting the "html" code... paste the bbCode from Ticker Factory and you should be all set! It starts with [url = ... instead of <a href...

So far so good!
