Still recovering so will aim for 750 miles. Will be away at the end of the month touring so final figures will be late

02-07: 55.25 miles

July miles: 55.25

YTD miles: 6297

DCMAT - There is something wrong with the statement, "Still recovering so will aim for 750 miles." Most of us don't do that in a couple of months and we're not sporting a multi-colored ankle. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Got a great ride in yesterday.

adding 8.2 walking miles for today

7/3 - 4.5 miles (walking/running)
7/4 - 5 miles (walking)
Total to date: 21.75 of 130 miles

Boy a big week - promotion at work - longer hours - and I am in NZ It has been very cold and windy :ohwell:

ETA I am also in fitbit group now:bigsmile:

Way to go!!! :drinker: :drinker:

Did 4.1 miles today. Crossed paths with the same 20-something shirtless guy three times out there (no, not on purpose) and he gave me a thumbs up on one pass. That was nice, because when you're fat and out there, you think the thin ones are wondering what the heck you're doing off the couch.

Each and every time I read something like this, I think of the following text that I red about 2 years ago, just after joining MFP. And it does come back from time to time on the blogs & forums.

A must read. Soooo inspiring and so definitely true! And just not for running or for sports. True in everyday life. Just sit back & take the time to read this... :drinker: I personally printed it and do read it from time to time. It's just a great reminder... :flowerforyou:

You're fine Dave. Nobody should have expected updates when you're supposed to be spending time celebrating the 4th and resting. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I'll try not to let you down this month. Let's see if I can make goal and then cook it like a BBQ spare rib. :laugh:

Also, please take a moment to read the author's note at the bottom of the text. And if you feel like it, the hundreds of comments after that...

:flowerforyou: Thanks. I have read it before (I have it printed out as well) but it's always worth looking at. I hadn't seen the updates - interesting. It did make me tear up the first time. It also makes me realize I've come a long way - when I was first going around the lake, I'd never run when anyone could see me, but then doing C25K, the timer was about to make me run past a couple walking their dog. I sucked it up and went for it and only the dog cared.

Today was 3.7 miles - the geese were in a grumpy mood and I got hissed by several as I walked past. I know they're a gaggle, but it felt more like a gang to me. :bigsmile:
