No rain and a mild morning gave me another chance to get substantial miles in today. I won't have the same opportunities tomorrow, so I will enjoy my success where I can find it. Walked 8.25 miles today for a June total of 94.5 miles. Which means I'm in the green for the next couple of hours anyway.

When I woke up an hour and a half before my alarm this morning, I got up and went for a run- adding 6.07 miles.



Sneaking up on green, but not there yet.

got in 3 miles yesterday and 3 today. Slowly getting back into the exercise groove.

@dcmat - glad to see you back at your (somewhat crazy) goal level again.
@vhuber - wishing you peace and a chance to decompress. Sounds like it's time to just say no.
@anaconda - as frustrating as it is to take it easy, your future health may require it.

last but certainly not least - best of luck tomorrow to lovemyalex. When you are able, let us know how the surgery went.

New total:

ive been doing morning walking plus tuesday and thursday walking/running cardio so my number is pretty good so far for June....im at 47.18 out of 50 so far this month...can you move my goal up to 60 please?
Thanks and happy *kitten* moving friends...

Here is what my opinion is on what BONUS MILES should be used for.....

I think bonus miles should only be used or "gifted" to another person in situations where they've had an unexpected illness or injury during a month. I don't think they should be passed around in situations where someone just isn't getting out and moving as much as they should in order to make their goal. I'm not saying that this was Angelmo8's situation or not, I don't know... What I DO know is that I've been about 10 miles or so behind the entire month but I don't want anyone else's extra miles because I just need to get my @ss in gear!)

It kinda defeats the purpose of this challenge of encouraging everyone to get moving and doing whatever they can to make their goal that they committed to if they can just go, "Meh, I don't feel like exercising today, but that's okay, someone will give me their extra miles and I can still hit my goal." If someone is physically unable to move, that's one thing, but if it's a matter of choice that they're not going to make it, then that's different.

Maybe I'm just being a hard@ss, but that's how I think it should work. Feel free to share dissenting opinions if you wish. I promise to listen with an open mind...honest.

@Dave - that sounds good to me, it should be for extenuating circumstances, like some of you have had.

@anaconda469 - ouch, hope you feel better soon and take some well deserved rest.

@lovemyalex - will be thinking of you tomorrow, update when you can and enjoy your drugs

I did 4.3 miles in the still hot as h3ll weather out there. Made it more fun since I had some tooth extractions this morning and I resisted the urge to take the fun drugs and go walking under the influence. I'm hoping to try some running tomorrow, we'll have to see what bouncing does, pain wise (graceful runner I am not). I added today's miles back to my ticker since everyone seems to be caught up, but I'm always willing to donate again.
