Hi

Seems most of you are counting miles. How do you know how many miles you have done?

Not too sure on everyone else, but I carry my hiking GPS with me everywhere now. It records the miles for each trip and for the whole month separately, so I just reset the trip recording each night.
Before I had that I just went to places that had the miles marked. At the high school in my town you can do 1/4 mile rounding the track once, and we have a riverwalk that has a thick white line painted for each 1/10 mile.

I use my phone app (GPS) or you can use a pedometer

I have a pedometer that will keeps the last 7 days in it's memory, makes it nice for days when I don't get a chance to add them to my tracker.

7 miles for me today

make it 9, i did a 2 mile leslie sansone after i posted!

4.10 miles today. (10.36 / 75 miles)

Only got 2 in on the 5th but they were a difficult 2 so I feel a little more burn

Just checked in

July 2: 1.47 miles
July 3 2.37 miles
July 5: 3.07 miles
July 6: 2.23 miles

Total so far: 9.14 miles

12.5 months down for the month already! I'm aiming to hit my goal and exceed this month!!!

doing 2 kids school runs - at dif schools is helping me keep this going, problem is they break for summer in less that 2 weeks!
i love doing leslie sansone walks too - the whole family joins in - which is great!
i'm 27.5miles to date

Got another 2.75 in yesterday - today I'm working 12 hrs. so won't be able to get anything extra in just what my normal days brings me!

Wow I cant Belive I already walked 100mins I really think i can do this 100 down 1300 to go:happy:

I just wish it would rain already!!!!!! 3.36 miles in the humidity and the weather is supposed to stay like this well into next week, yuck :grumble:

14 miles down, 61 to go!

:frown: Oh dear I'm not walking as far or for as long as I thought I would. Just shows I've got out of the habit of walking. But onwards and upwards!!

Tuesday only did 50 mins didn't go on the evening dog walk.
Wednesday managed 1hr 50 mins and Thursday did 1hr 55 mins

so still short on the two hours a day I thought I would manage easily :embarassed:

I'm going to start wearing my ped again, I think it is easier to count steps I did wear my ped last night on the dog walk and I did nearly 4,000 steps.

Time to update my ticker and get ready for work.

July 5- 2.0
July 6- 2.75

I kinda lost track of my day to day ones but I think this is how it's gone - if not it's pretty darn close and total is correct.

20 minutes... this whole using the elliptical minutes looks bad on paper. I burned more calories doing the elliptical for 20 minutes than I would have walking for an hour. I think I will figure out how to calc miles next month.
