I'm in!!! My goal this month is 60 miles and I kicked it in gear with a 2.5 today!!!

I was doing c25k, but I really think I may skip the running and do arm and back exercises between now and Jan. (Any ideas on how to rid back fat spillage?)

I'm in...but I didn't do crap today.

Not really starting off right, but plan on going tomorrow.

I'm in too - still training for the marathon - but I have to kick it into gear more (work on speed this month - not as much distance) but I also need to add some more variety - shake it up some.

I want to lose 25-30 lbs by february - need to work on my caloric intake but mostly my output!

Just walked an hour on my lunch break

I'm very excited about this, I'm 5 miles in so far.... I usually start off strong and slack off towards the end of the month but hopefully the challenge of 10 extra miles will keep me going strong all month!! I also think that monthly goals are important, I also have a weight loss goal of 10lbs a month for the rest of 2009.

Going to Mexico in December and really want to be 245lbs.

Ok so there are 2 threads that are close in name and I just realized that I have been posting on the incorrect one... Not that that's bad but the August 2009 mile challenge is a continued monthly challenge and so in order to not confuse myself I am going to unsubscribe to this one... Of course you are all welcome to join the mil challenge thread.

Oh ann Luluc, I sent you a private message!

Wow! If I was less humble, or even narcissistic, I would assume that these exercise challenge threads just don't go anywhere w/o my adding to them based on this months thread.:wub:

Well, fear not, I'm still around and exercising. Just haven't felt much like being social, even on the internet. But, I am back and will start posting again on what I'm doing.

This morning I was able to run for the first time since dr. told me to lay off for a month after taking a line drive off the instep in softball. I only waited 2 1/2 wks. Shhhhh, don't tell the doc.:thumbup: Tonight will be chest workout. Still going heavy on the lifting. Since I started this routine, my bench weight has gone from doing 245 for 3 sets of 4-6 reps to 285-290 for 3 sets of 4-6 reps. I LIKE IT!!!!!

We'll see how the foot feels after todays little run tomorrow and may try a little mor.

Hey Everyone!

Still hanging in there with the c25k program - am now running 75% of my normal walk route and will extend the route this week or next to keep my duration constant. I am loving the 'wog' program...

Continuing to walk on days I don't 'wog' - about a mile to and from my office every day (unless it's storming) plus my lunchtime walk. We just went back to normal hours, so with my 1 hour lunch restored, I started walking my longer lunchtime route and the 'big hill' again today. Though it's 83 and feels like 87 outside (weather.com), I still feel great after walking. I KNOW I've gotten stronger and my heart rate has been really good - I'm thrilled!:wub:

There is definately a road race or two in my future...:thumbup:

[Ceradad 10]

Last night did not go well. I was able to muscle my way through 3 sets of 4 reps @ 285 on bench. After that, too much pain in left forearm to continue.:w00t:

Today, I ran another 2 miles. I'll try legs tonight.

[DivaStyleCoach 89]

Afternoon All!

Heading out for my lunchtime walk - I'm plenty hydrated, so I should be just fine on this hot and sunny summer day. No run this morning - couldn't pull my dragging butt out of bed, but will make it up tomorrow.

Hope all have a wonderful day!:w00t:

I want in. I'm a treadmill walker. 4 miles per day (2 in a.m. and 2 in p.m.). Is there a certain criteria to be met?

[luluc 6]

Is there a certain criteria to be met?

none at all -

i have been spinning 3X a wk & doing the stairmaster much more for cardio ..... LOTS of lower body weight training, waiting & wishing it would catch up to the upper arms/abs:)

[yellowtopaz 0]

Cool. Well definitely count me in. I need to work on my arms too. They're weak!

I would say that a certain NY Gnats QB does the same thing, but even you have bigger legs than he does.
