So how did everyone do? Are we ready for August!!!!!!!!!!

I'm ready! I am going to try and rename the thread to July-December 2009 Mile Challenge. We can continue to log our miles here.

I finally caught up from my missed day last week! I've got just 6 more miles to go (tomorrow's regular miles), and then I'll have achieved my goal!! Yeah! I'm ready for August--no more missing days though!

I finished yesterday....50.5 miles! Feels so good to meet a goal, it is the first i set for myself since my surgery on July 1st! I am so proud that I made it, especially because I didnt start the challenge until the 10th of July (when I was released by my dr to exercise)! SOOOO Looking forward to the August challenge!! Congratulations to all who made it to GOAL...and congrats to all who tried their hardest!

Finished! Hello August!

I just finished my 5 miles for the day and 85 for the month. A little shy of my goal, but ready for August challenge to start.

I am going to Fit Right Northwest store in the morning to find the perfect work out shoes. It seems like an interesting process they go through to fit you. I'm looking forward to it.

FITTING:

A complimentary video-taped gait analysis for every new customer! This process allows the sales associate to accurately determine the mechanics of the lower extremity focusing in on the heel contact, mid-stance and toe off phase of the gait cycle. By videotaping your walking or running stride, the sales associate can then play back the video so that the customer can see for themselves, how his or her feet function in a dynamic state rather than a static state!

Complete Measurement of heel-to-toe length, heel-to-ball of foot length and width of foot using the Brannock device - industry standard for 100 years

Subjective Evaluation of Foot - To determine foot volume, the presence of bunions, bunionettes, etc...

Shoe Test Runs - Allows customer to evaluate overall comfort and fit of selections outside the store and on our in-store treadmills.

Custom Fitting Techniques - Used to reduce foot elongation to less than 1/4 of an inch. This eliminates lost toenails, foot cramping, bruised balls of feet and any of the hundreds of avoidable problems related to improperly fit shoes.

This is my reward for a good attempt to meet the mileage challenge for July.

August challenge....here I come.

2911, Let;s just start a new thread for August. Also, I think I'll feel more goal-oriented if it's only for August rather than August--December. When August is over, we can just start a new thread for September and so on. This is going to be a challenging month for me as I work to mesh the summer me with the back-to-school me. But we can do it!
