Okay, time for another 100 mile walk! Other distances are welcome (last month ranged from 50 - 175).
Just so you know...
100 miles = 3.2 miles per day
50 miles = 1.6 miles per day
I keep track of my walking through http://www.mapmyrun.com/ , but you can also use a pedometer as well.
Post your mileage whenever you like, and we'll support and motivate each other to keep it up! Good luck everyone!
I haven't added an arm challenge for the month. We can continue with the planks or start something new. Any suggestions?
50 miles
75 miles
100 miles
150 miles
200 miles
I'm not a step counter, but I'll second 2be's request if that's even necessary.

In fact, I'm so sure, that I decided to second 2be's request twice for some strange reason. Does that mean that I fourth'd it?
{{{Laughing!}}} 
I Hope so...!!!!! 
Thanks, Oarsman!!!!-- you make me wish I had one of those rowing machines, too!
7/30 - 8.5 miles / 191.5 miles total || goal: 200 miles / 8.5 miles to go
Sheesh. This is gonna be close! Note to self. No more setting goals that have anything to do with walking in mid-days in the summer in New York City. That was horribly hot and humid 
7/29 - 0 miles - Laziness attack! 
7/30 - 4 miles
104.5 total - Goal + 4.5 miles
7/30: 4 miles
Total: 71/75
4 more to walk tomorrow.
Whoooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope ya'll don't mind-- but I'm Soooo Excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I have just finished 30,000 steps today, and I've only got 26,700 steps left to reach my First 1,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
(I have a Fun Ticker in my Profile to show it, if you want to see it. I'll have to create a new one Saturday! I used a turtle as a symbol of my slow-loss-rate Self, vs. the proverbial rabbit-- which I think of as my Fast-Gain problem, that I need to Defeat... The Turtle WON-- when it LOOKED impossible, and THIS Turtle is Winning, too!)
I'll get more steps tonight, as much as I can around Choir practice, too... and look for new shoes Saturday, after I finish my Goal for June-July tomorrow!!!!!
If you really need to change shoes with every 500 miles, I'm going to have a problem-- and my present shoes already Celebrated a Special Day with a 500 mile walking Goal-- last August!!! They are WELL worn out, lol!!!
GO, WALKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7/31: 4 miles
Total: 75 miles walked 
It's been a pleasure walking with everyone. Good luck to those who take part in August's walking challenge. I will join in again in September if there's another challenge then. Take care, everyone.
I wanna join this little walking group for 100 miles per month. I'll even provide visual proof that I did my hundred miles.

So 100 again in August?
WOW!!!
What are you using to create that, if I might ask?
(I'm asking to join and waiting, too.)
Hello 2beittybitty.
I use the nike+ kit with an apple ipod nano to track my workout. It counts your steps and translates it into pace, calories and miles or kilometers if you on metric.
If you don't know what nike+ is it's a system where you put a reciever into ipod and a transmitter or pedonmter like device in your shoe or somewhere on your foot where it can detect a step.
Workout data is transmitted to the nike+ website where it stores your run info and tallies up everything for you. You can set goals, resolutions to beat last year's goals and join challenges.
NB:
That little thing I put up is actually from the old version of their site. The new version doesn't have the resolution app anymore but the old site still wors for people using old browsers like internet explorer 6.
That's pretty Neat!!! I Love number-crunching and visual aids to 'see' my progress!
Sadly, I only got to 73.66 miles this month. Silly vacation. I got to play a lot on the Wii Fit, but didn't walk during that week and a half. Oh well. There's always next month!
7/31 - 8.5 miles / 200 miles total || goal: 200 miles /
Done. Out. Over. That was not fun folks. If this was meant to be fun, I'm sorry, it really wasn't.
Not anyone's fault but my own for goofing off, but still, this was a bitc... , oops, I guess I really can't say that in here, but suffice it to say....it was a tough week and a half.
There, I got that off my chest. Now. Where is the August challenge. Bring it on!
Two measly little miles today.
85.5 miles and 240 push-ups total meets the push-up goal but falls 14.5 miles short of the walking goal. 
If case it will help anyone feeling bad this month, I had a thought yesterday that I'll share--
"It's Better to TRY and fail to reach your 'Full Desire...' 
Than to FAIL to TRY... and Succeed...!!! At Failing Completely!!!"
I've felt the pain, Oarsman! Last year I wanted to walk 500 miles-- almost totally treadmilling-- in 2.5 months, to finish on a Special-to-me-Day in August... I worked diligently, and went out of state to Church meetings where I shared that Desire with others, making a strong Commitment... All went well till the final week-- canning/illness/something slowed me down badly...! I was committed-- with a LOT of miles to go...
I don't remember how far behind I was, but it was insane, lol! I DO remember my husband laughing, that I couldn't do it, when I said I Hoped to get 50 miles in a day... I remember, 'cause he was right, lol!
I did get 40 miles in 24 hours, though... then finished, whatever was left, just-in-time!
That was TOUGH! 
I've pushed to get my Million steps by today-- but I'm glad I didn't have anything happen to cause me misery to Achieve it! You're right-- that ain't Fun!!!
Made my Million Steps Today!!!!
Made a New Ticker in my profile for the 2nd Million... Need a new Goal for August!!!
Thanks for the thought 2be. A million steps!!! That's awesome. I'm trying to convert that to something I know better (miles), but I have no idea how far that would be.
In any case, as you say, bring on the August challenge. Oh, and I love the quote
Thank you!
If it were full-stride steps, it would be an even 500 miles from June 5-July 31... Over 230 miles for July-alone, if counting only Aerobic steps, as I'm sure they are stride-correct... and I lose many of those with my picky pedometer!
I only get around 3000 normal steps a day... so almost all of my counts are actually Aerobic/exercise sessions... Warps my mind to try to figure 'em clearly, lol!
P.S.-- The Best 'Measure' of effort to me was really Good these last 2 months of walking! June was over 8 pounds, July was over 11!
Well...my walking just did not happen last month, but I will start anew in August.
I've just returned from a family wedding so sorry this is a little late, but I've created the August walk topic here.
