I am in for the July challenge. I haven't done this challenge in a few years! Sounds like a lot of fun & celebrating! I am going to try for 1000 minutes. I'm estimating that to be a little more than I have been doing the last couple of months.

Thank you SarahDisney for hosting!

It's already July 1st in some parts of the world ... which means the challenge may have begun for some people! I've got the first post updated as of about 5 PM EDT, and I'll keep updating it as I get on the computer throughout the night.
Expect to see our first Disney birthday tomorrow morning ... I look forward to seeing all of the exercise minutes come in!

Welcome to the first day of the Disney Daily Birthday July Exercise Challenge! I’m so excited to see how many people have joined this challenge, and I’m really looking forward to all of us working together to reach our goals! I can't wait to see those exercise minutes start coming in!

Today is July 1st, and for our first birthday of the month, we're celebrating a popular Magic Kingdom attraction…

The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover!

Today the PeopleMover celebrates its 40th birthday. Opened on July 1, 1975 as the WEDWay PeopleMover, this 10-minute slow-moving ride gives guests an aerial view of Tomorrowland, as well as some unique dioramas, including a portion of the original E.P.C.O.T. model. It has undergone a number of name changes over the years, but it has remained a fan favorite despite the changes.

A similar PeopleMover ride operated at Disneyland from 1967 to 1995.

I love the TTA! It's one of my favorite rides in all WDW.

Happy Birthday TTA!

I started off my month with 36 minutes of walking
(plus, I bought new running capris at the end of that walking...)

I love the peoplemover. It is so sad that they got rid of it at DL.

I can report a great start to the month:

35/800

Went running in hot weather. Took it slow and went for a short run. Now I am trying to cool off...

I started out this month with 48 minutes today. 28 minutes of strength and stability workout on the daily burn, 10 minutes on the exercise bike before I got interrupted and 10 minutes of stretching and ab work.

I love peoplemover! My family doesn't really get it, but I force them on every trip.

80 minutes at the gym today, strength and cardio. Hoping it cools off enough (and I don't drink to much beer) to go on a run later this evening.

80/1200

Happy Canada Day if there are any fellow Canadians out there!

It's definitely hard to run in the hot weather - even once you get inside it still feels so hot!
A few weeks ago I discovered that a glass of cold lemon water really helped me a lot - something about the combination of the citrus and the cold water was really refreshing and cooled me down.

I totally forgot today was Canada Day (it's not something we really mention much here in the US).
Happy Canada Day!

I love the PeopleMover! Thanks for the cool picture and thanks for hosting! I'm gonna join in again and try, try, try to do a better job this month. I feel so much better when I am exercising regularly. Why do I let myself get off track??? Please put me down for 900 minutes (again).

15 minutes for me for day one - a quick sample routine on the TV, and an even quicker walk to make up the rest. (It was unfortunately a much busier day than it was supposed to be, but plans for today are more solid!)

after the big push to finish last month, I took a needed rest day yesterday.

Today it's packing the bags and heading up to our neighbors to the North again. My dh is doing a triathalon and I am the designated "sherpa". So I'll be off the grid until Tuesday.

Take care, and I'll catch up with all of you when I return.

Rest days are just as important as exercise days!

First post is up to date. I'll be back in a few hours to post today's birthday!
