Glad you made your goal! Have an amazing race!!!

I am at 1667/1500. We're going to run a 4 mile race on Saturday--very last minute, so I won't get another long run in this month, but overall I think it was a pretty good month!

 

[Larrabe]

Congrats and a mighty woo-HOO for all who have made their goal already!!

I haven't worked out today yet, but Saturday I did 46, Monday 86, Tuesday 61, so my total so far is 1,246/1500. Need to finish strong over the next four days!!

Mmm . . . I'm already planning my reward meal. Something with lots and lots of fries!!

Hi Everyone!

Good luck to everyone in reaching your goal!

Congrats! That's the best part about keeping track. Sometimes we find we can do things that we just didn't think were possible!

I'm at 1857/1500. I would top 2000 this month, but we are only doing 4 miles tomorrow--a charity run. Sunday we're going to do our long run. Oh well, that will just start August off with a bang!

Hope everyone is able to finish the month off strong!

Final count for July 1122/1000

 

[Larrabe]

Okay, I'm exhausted from cramming in two very long workouts to make my goal, but I did it!! I had to take off Wednesday for work, and Thursday because I felt horrible, so I did 140 minutes on Friday, and 115 today, bringing me to 1,501/1,500. (The extra minute was for kicks!)

Thanks, Rose, for organizing this challenge!! It's been incredibly motivating.

Now to figure out August's minutes . . .

It's been my pleasure! CC is going to host August, and Julie should be back for September.

I had 60 minutes of bootcamp plus 40 minutes of cardio to finish out July with 1870/1400!

 

[mikamah]

I finished the month with 1065/1000.

Thank you Rose for hosting this month and congrats to all who stuck with the challenge, especially during the busy summer. I'll see you all on the august thread.

 

[perfectmatch300]

I limped (literally!) to the finish this month.

My final total for July was 1350/1300 min! At least I made it!

Rose, thank you so much for running the July challenge!
