    This is a HUGE goal for me, and though I know I should be optimistic... I'm not. But, I want to try and see how far I get. Even if I don't get anywhere near 120 miles, if I push myself to get as close as I possibly can, at least it gets me moving more, right?

    So... I'm (hesitantly) in. :)

    :flowerforyou: WELCOME SARAH!!!!!!!!!

    I started these challenges last year. I've been doing them for over a year now. There were months I never made it too 100 miles. I think there was a month I only got 80 something...IT IS THAT YOU MOVE...That is WHY it's called a challenge...Go for it and see how far it takes you! NO HESITANTANCY......YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    AUGUST 2ND...........8 MILES thus far....

    I think I'll be lucky if I manage to hit 40 miles!! There are 20 work days this month, I plan to walk two miles every day during lunch. That's 40 right there. I do have a good bike, so I could easily knock some miles out that way.

    Walked 1 mile with my husband last night.

    Can I count miles I swim? I've been swimming for exercise lately. It takes 176 laps in my pool to reach a mile. I did 30 laps last night and 100 laps today, so I'm almost to a mile of swimming already!!

    Progress so far: 1 mile.
