AUGUST 2015 MOVE CHALLENGE

Greetings, I'm in. 10k steps at least 5 days a week and at least 4 cups of water a day....

hello friends! I can't believe august has come around already - i keep having to force myself to ignore all of the "back to school" ridiculousness i see each time i go to target.

goal: 50 miles

08.01: 3 miles

Total: 3/47

I'm walking 100km this month.. Today I did 3.5km

I want in. My walking goal for August is 30 miles. I have 4.709 miles done already and 105 minutes. My miles are mostly done on a treadmill. (My goal is low because I just started walking on July 11th. My goal for July was 15 miles. Just wanted to go up a little.)

My goal ... to move more than I did in July!!

---

Aug 1 - chilly (9C) and windy (30 km/h gusting to 57 km/h) with a "feels like" temp of about 5C and a little blast of sleet just to keep things interesting.

And we cycled 38.5 km up the cycleway and back on our Thorn touring bicycles.

Aug 2 - 2 km walk + 45 minutes swimming ... first time I've gone swimming in a long time!

Aug 3 - 0.5 km walk ... snowed in here! First time in 29 years, my part of the world got snow ... right down to sea level. There was snow on my beach!! Roads were closed ... couldn't get out of our area.

Right, time to move on from last month!! Am keeping to the same targets for August - that way if I blow it out of the water I'll feel especially good!!!

Have started the month well, with a couple of short walks on Exmoor, a ride on a water-balanced funicular railway and the watching of a daft raft race accompanied by some fine beer. And a bit of sunburn. Have a Lindy Exchange coming up next weekend so while I won't be walking much I'll sure as hell be MOVING!!!!

Totals
Cycling - 80 miles
Walking - 50 miles (8 miles out of that so far)
Swim - 100 laps
Lindy Hop class - 4 times

Total mileage target - 130 miles

@SteveCro - don't think any of us can match you (except maybe @Machka9!!!!!!!)

I aspire to a century. But it won't happen for a while!!

Thanks.

However, I rather doubt a century is going to happen again this month for me either ... not the way the weather is going. Maybe in September.
