    I'm in. I'm so disappointed with how July went. It was better than June, but I was sick for literally almost the whole month of July, even hospitalized for a few days. :( And that honestly makes me feel kind of *kitten* about June, because how lazy was I that it wasn't even as good as July?? :o

    July Total: 184,334 steps | 67.57 miles | Average: 5,946 steps per day | 2.2 miles per day
    June Total: 168,863 steps | 61.37 miles | Average: 5,629 steps per day | 2.0 miles per day

    Oh, I'm so in!! Let's walk the world! Since I average 11,000 steps daily, I'll set a monthly goal of 341,000 steps for August and see if I can exceed that.

    This is my first summer in torrid heat (Las Vegas by way of the Northwoods of Wisconsin), so I've been doing A LOT of Walk at Home videos and mall walking. I won't let weather beat me!

    Hi I'm back, been to doctors, have to do lots of stretching and start with slow walking for shorter distances. I've bought new trainers as well.
