oh, my word - I have to boogie - I'll still be crossing the states and you will all be in Mexico!!
Hey TL - I guess you can consider me officially dropped out. My pedometer broke a few weeks ago, and I have yet to replace it. It's hard to keep track of steps and mileage without one!!
So sorry I couldn't complete your challenge! I'm still walking most everyday, but I keep forgetting to post my miles, and now I have no idea where I am. You have fun and cross that finish line for me, k?!
I am now at 224.2 miles!! I am slowly getting there. I have decided to stop nursing Lily at lunch time because she is more interested in the bottle than nursing at lunch. So now I am using half of my lunch hour to run and the other half to pump.
I'll definitely be in on the Mexico route. I got my new pedometer in, so I'm hoping to see some good numbers again.
Oh boy, TL, I was wondering what I was going to do when we finished this challenge! I'm in for Mexico. But that means I'll have to do some serious walking to finish this challenge before July 31.
I got in 25.5 miles this week to bring my total to 296.
Hi Tigerlily, Got in 28 miles for the week. Brings me to 324 total I think. I wish I could have done more, but I am sitting here sweating, at 7:30 pm. I am feeling physically better overall (back, etc.) so hopefully I'll be able to increase my workouts in spite of the heat.
