June's 100 Mile Walk

Anyone up for a 100 mile walk??? or 50 if 100 seems too extreme for you? Join me!

100 miles = 3.2 miles per day

50 miles = 1.6 miles per day

I've been keeping track of my miles through a pedometer but you can also use http://www.mapmyrun.com/ if you don't have one.

Post your mileage whenever you feel, and we'll support and motivate eachother to keep it up! Good luck everyone!

I've decided to add an extra challenge this month for anyone willing to take it!  We need some Core and Arm workouts ladies... if not well have perfact butts with bat wings!  No one wants that!

I’ve found 4 different challenges to increase our upper body and core strength each more difficult then the other.  Take some time this week to try them out and see where you stand.

 The first option is 15 minutes of Elbow Plank in a month:

The second option is the same but instead of doing the plank on your elbows try it on the palms of your hands which is slightly more difficult.  60 seconds every other day.

If that is too easy the third option is 30 seconds of the side plank on each side. http://yoga.about.com/od/yogasequences/ss/yog aforabs_5.htm

And the forth:

10-20 of these every other day

Hey Jehzi!  I suffer from chronic Bronchitis but I've never gotten it this late EVER!

I managed to pull 4 miles last night...once the coughing went away I was fine.  Did another 2 this morning.

Total for June: 70

I haven't walked yet today, but....I'm currently at 96.86 miles for the month!  I will positively walk at least three miles tonight.  I'm so proud of myself I'm doing a chair dance!

Aha, I finally got a lunch break for the first time in weeks.  And I used it to walk my last little bit.  My total for June:  100.02 miles!   Thank you for putting up this challenge, it really motivated me to get back into my walking habit.

Is there going to be a July thread?

58 miles walked this month. A little over half of what I was going to do. Oh well... I will try again in July, if we have another challenge. 

6/30 - 3 miles / 177 miles total  || goal: 175 miles

Congratulations for making your goal oarsman, and everyone else that made their goals as well!

I haven't tracked the days lately, just the miles.

110.5 / 150

So...I didn't make my goal this month...too much rain!

6/29 = 6.82 miles

6/30 = 6.75 miles

Planks - none

Totals:

100.19 miles and 720 seconds

Woohoo!  Made the miles if not the planks!

I noticed that lilsmiter who started this thread hasn't logged on in quite some time.  Is it possible for someone else to start a July thread?  I would do it, but I have no idea how to.

Congratulations to everyone for getting up and moving this summer!

Three miles and 10 push-up/planks to finish off the month. 

77.5 miles / 150 push ups total

Okay, I figured it out and started a thread for July here

Reply on the new thread and I'll add you to July!

76.61 + 11 = 87.61 + 5 = 92.61 /100 miles

Option 2: (day off)

420 + 60 = 480/ 900

Well, being sick kept me from the goal, but I did not miss it by much. Here's to a better, illness-free July.

Thanks everyone for the challenge, motivation, and well wishes throughout June. Now, bring on July!!

YAAAAHHOOOOOOOO, I walked a total of 140.5 miles in June. I've lost 11.75 pounds also which I attribute a large part of that to the miles walked. My caloric intake is rarely ever over 1500 per day and my body holds on to every fat cell with a death grip so I have no doubt the walking is what melted that fat off me. 

What are we doing for July 

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who participated...YOU ROCK...or should I say...YOU WALK
