OK Folks ALL Junies have at LEAST one month since surgery, so we should all be exercising with consistency now...right??? *pointing finger right at myself!*

There are 4 weeks and 2 days in August...

I'll start the challenge off by challenging myself to 600 minutes. This will be tough for me, but it's not really a challenge if I make it easy right???

Thursday is my 39th birthday! I want to be FIT by 40! I have a year to get there and by golly, I'm gonna do this!!!!

Lol. I was wondering why 'Whosyadaddy' was posting our chart. Hahahaa!

Monthly Total = 2020 Minutes

90 minutes bicycle

My new total is 520 minutes.

Stef - you make me feel so inadequate!

No way! Don't feel inadequate! It's a relative to what you USED to do, and you are MOVING now! You're doing great!

60 minutes bicycle

Monthly Total = 2185 Minutes

105 minutes bicycle

Here are some pics of where I ride: http://www.slide.com/r/9OQ_-2T35D9bACTNMeIOIk8LWuagwUMX?previous_view=mscd_embedded_url&view=original

stef: I dug those pics of your rides. It's nice have places like that near by to ride in. It's kind of like me with my hiking, I only drive like 5-10 mins and I got some cool places to ride and hike.

Thanks, captain...yes, it is nice to be able to ride in a beautiful, shaded (for the most part), protected area...no motorized vehicles are allowed on the trails there. And it's only minutes away for me, like your hiking. I love it out there.

One of those pics I should have added a caption to. It is of a retired couple passing me going the other direction. They are out there every day on a tandem recumbent bicycle! They do the full trails twice, which is over 30 miles! They do this Monday thru Friday! They are awsome.

Great pics Stef!! What a great trail!!!!

Ok everyone...be thinking of September's challenge...I'll be posting a new thread for it later this week :biggrin1:
