July Exercise Challenge - Let's Beat the Summer Heat - 35 challengers so far!

[indygirl99]

Went out for a run/walk this afternoon and quickly realized the difference between 56 degrees and 76 degrees. It was more walk/slow jog. But when we got home I had gone 2.33 miles in 35 mins, so slightly longer than yesterday in the same time and slightly more miles.

I guess my walk was faster than yesterday.

825/620

With walking by myself and with my dog, and doing some weights, I'm now on fire with 1808/2000.

I hope to get all my minutes in by the end of Tuesday - it'll be close!

An hour of Werq and a 30 minute Fine Toning class brings me to

Ran 51 minutes this morning (4.1 miles)

That brings me to 1641/1600

and

100.5 miles of running for the month!

Great job everyone! I'll update this thread later in day and again tomorrow (and if anyone is late reporting one more time later in the week.

Unless another volunteer steps up, I'll start the August thread tonight.

Great job everyone! One more month of big-time heat (at least here in the northeast) and then we can look forward to cooler temperatures in the fall.

One last effort to get some July minutes in. I got up at 4:30 am this morning and managed 20 minutes on the treadmill.

285/700

Didn't even make it halfway to my goal, but I'm going to keep participating and trying.

Thanks again Ted for hosting this thread!

You are not the only one looking forward to fall. I was telling DH yesterday I long for the day I can put my comfy sweats on.

Took a walk with our old dog today at Grandma and Grandpa's country home in the hills. He doesn't like hills. He stopped 4 times in the shade on the way home! I'd let him rest for 30-60 seconds or so then we'd continue on. When we got home he slurped up a giant bowl of water and took a long nap! Ohhh, to be a dog!

Thank you so much, Ted, for hosting. I thought we had a new host for August. Weren't there 2 of you for July so the other one (can't remember who it was!) said she'd do August?

I'll do it if you want. Don't have the foggiest idea how, but I'll try!

 

[kathleen27]

Ended the month with 17 minutes arms & abs last night
And a 74 minute walk/run tonight

Thanks for hosting this month Ted!
We've had some cool weather this week, but I know it won't last!

An hour Strong class this morning and an hour Werq class this evening brings me to finish out the month at:

2805/1680

Thanks again Ted for keeping track of all our minutes!

 

[tedhowe]

First post updated. Great job everyone.

Sissy_ib was the other person who had volunteered to host July... and said she would be willing to host in August.

I've messaged her and asked if she still wants to host. If not, I'll fire up the new thread for August.
