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:

http://exercise.about.com/od/abs/ss/abexercis es_10.htm  Plank 60 seconds every other day will give you 15 minutes at the end of the 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:

Okay, back on track...

Today = 5.62 miles

Option 3 = 30 seconds each arm

Totals:

33.04 miles and 360 seconds to go!

6/24 - 3 miles / 149 miles total  || goal: 175 miles / 26 miles to go

6/23:  took the day off; my left hamstring hurt

6/24: 4.88 mi elliptical plus 3.12 treadmill

66.23 + 4.88 + 3.12 = 74.23  /100 miles

300 + 60 = 360/ 900

Option 2:

360 + 60 = 420/ 900

I think it's very unlikely I'll make it this month.  That stomach flu (which came back on Monday night) just did me in.  Got in a couple of miles today, though, and ten of the push-up/planks.

66 miles / 120 push ups total

6/26 - 3 miles / 155 miles total  || goal: 175 miles / 20 miles to go

Oh oh. I've been lazy for a few days and now have 20 miles to go in 4 days. That's 5 miles per day. This laziness also had me gain a couple of pounds.  Scary stuff that.  If this is any indication of the future, then I guess there can never be a time that I can stop exercising.  Time to get off the couch.

6/27 morning - 6 miles / 161 miles total  || goal: 175 miles / 14 miles to go

20 pushups with side planks

**200 down, 100 to go** 

10 miles walked

**62 miles down, 38 miles to go!**

74.28  + 2.33 = 76.61 /100 miles

69.5 miles / 120 push ups total

6/27 evening - 3 miles / 164 miles total  || goal: 175 miles / 11 miles to go

6/28 - 4 miles / 168 miles total  || goal: 175 miles / 7 miles to go

6/26 = 6 miles

6/27 = 0 miles

6/28 = 5.6 miles

Option 3 = 30 seconds each arm

Option 1 = 60 seconds (right wrist is acting up, I'll finish up this month with elbow planks until it heals)

Totals:

86.62 miles and 720 seconds

13.38 miles and 180 seconds to go!

Two miles today and 10 push-up/planks.

71.5 miles / 130 push ups total

Hey everyone been out of the loop.  When I thought I was better, I actually made myself sicker and ended up with pleurisy. Walking caused severe breathing pain.  I did do about 65 miles this month.  So I guess I'll get back on track in July, but I have to let my body heal for real this time.

6/28 - 3 miles walked

6/29 - 8 miles walked

76.61 + 11 = 87.61 /100 miles

Option 2:

420 + 60 = 480/ 900

Faye:  I ended up with bronchitis. You take care of yourself. The miles will be waiting for your return. Being sick really blew the month for me. Here's to July--It's ON!!

6/29 - 6 miles / 174 miles total  || goal: 175 miles / 1 miles to go

Three miles today and 10 push-up/planks.  So, I should be able to make it to 75 miles - which isn't bad considering I was only healthy 3/4 of the month.

74.5 miles / 140 push ups total
