Since I loved this challenge in June and July, I thought I'd create the thread so we could all continue with the goal into August. Let's do it!!

The goal is to hit at least 24 hours of exercise during the month of August. Any type of activity that you log in your exercise diary counts (both cardio and strength training).

There is no group for this and no private messages needed. No fancy spreadsheets either, just report your running totals here in the thread.

July's thread is here:
