August Exercise Challenge! Please Post your Final total!

[KimRaye]

I went swimming with my girls today for about 4 hours. I, of course, wasn't "swimming" the whole time, so I'll just put down 45 mins.

110/500

ACK! We posted at the same time, I'll go update you ASAP!

 

[MinnieMouseMom]

Oh gosh, you didn't have to do that....but thanks!

 

[KimRaye]

Oh gosh, you didn't have to do that....but thanks!

Doesn't take even a minute, and I like for all the WISHers to see their progress posted!

I've done another 60 minutes. That now puts me at 325/1000.

Thanks for organising this challenge!

 

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

You're no slouch either. Good for you!

if so...............then ohMom gets to rest today :

hop on over to the Community Board to send her a WISH !!! (or could one of our favorite monitors be able to add a link here) to make it just a tad easier - thanks


as for me - I think I will just go for a bike ride later today - like to see those points going upward!

Congrats Figaro!!! That's a totally awesome achievement!

How I got to 555/1000 in one day: We were at a picnic and no food was out because people cluster around food. I swam quite a lot...or just moved around in the water for the second part (I was used as a babysitter second part, so we bounced in the water and I would do lunge-type exercises to get to rafts and Aqua Noodles), jumped around in a bounce house, kayaked quite a lot, played two volleyball games...and it was a definite walk (maybe HIKE would be a better word) to get to the bathrooms and car park as you had to walk around a hill, or over top of it, and walk back. All in all, I never really stopped moving except at dinner, dessert and prize give away (total time spend at the last three things: an hour, tops).

Thanks KimRaye!! What do you guys think of the half way color being teal? (KimRaye-you are like a mommy to all of us! I appreciate it...thank you! )

OhMom-that was awesome exercise. Let me tell ya-I could never do ninety straight minutes of powerwalk and five minutes after!! That was awesome exercise right there! And you deserve a rest day!!! Enjoy it!

The rain let up and I did finally get to run yesterday, so that added 55 minutes. So my total is now 195/1000.

I am now at 355/1000 as of AUg 7th. Need to get those workouts in early since it is so hot here in the northeast.

Keep Cool everyone

I'm at 260/1100 as of this morning (august 7) so I am on track this month and feels good!

 

[TeresaMc]

Putting me at 105/500 for the month

 

[ohMom]

mom you sly poster you (for those who didn't know AlreadyexcitedGrammy is my mom )

actually i didn't take a rest day, but a lighter day. tomorrow i have to have DD at the state fair 45 mins away by 7 a.m. so no morning exercise time for me; usually monday evenings I walk with my neighbor but it's casual walking for me. haven't decided if i'm counting it for the challenge yet, what do you think? it would definately be more of a challenge if I don't count it, we walk two nights a week about 35-45 mins

tigercheer - thanks for the kudos coming from the gal that's 1/2 way done already! cyber high five. my sat walk did feel way long starting out, but i kept reminding myself during 1/2 marathon training i did this every saturday and thought nothing of it. usually on sat. I walk with another neighbor and she really keeps me moving -- she loves the long distances. she has trained with me for two 1/2 marathons and didn't even do the events herself! anyhow -- the 5 mins of stretching afterward felt devine!

REMEMBER LADIES AND GENTS - STRETCHING IS EXERCISE, LET'S CALL IT FLEXIBILITY TRAINING!!

off to hit the shower - i rode my bike for 45 mins today bringing me to 405/1500

 

[SunFloridaDisney]

Hi all

I ran early this morning, then walked with 2 friends this evening, for a total of 80 minutes. I think that puts me at 275/1,000.

 

[KimRaye]

What do you guys think of the half way color being teal?

It is Done!

 

[KimRaye]

usually monday evenings I walk with my neighbor but it's casual walking for me. haven't decided if i'm counting it for the challenge yet, what do you think?

If it were me, I'd count some of the minutes. Like last Wed., we went to Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor (there about 10 hours I think), so with the walking and 'swimming', I counted 20 mins., it's better than nothing, and surely not part of my regular routine.

Belated to you. I'll post the link, even tho it's late. http://130.94.75.33/showthread.php?p=9478706#post9478706 (I don't think I knew your name was Molli! Well, now I do!) Hope you had a great Birthday!
