Today’s sponsor:

ProSource Fitness Equipment is a very strong supporter of Piedmont Triad Apartment Association (my day job), and their point person in our market, Josh Owen, is an active volunteer who recently won PTAA’s Supplier Vendor Partner of the Year Award. They’re also very involved in the community, including PTAA’s Food Drive.

ProSource is a provider of fitness equipment, both commercial and residential, and I can vouch for them personally because I’ve purchased from them for my home gym and have had nothing but a good experience with the equipment and the company.

They donated enough for a week’s worth of sponsorship and yesterday was the final day of their sponsorship. Much thanks to Josh and the team at ProSource Fitness for supporting the walk (and PTAA’s Food Drive) and for continuing to be leaders in our community!

Activity Day 66: Had some miles to make up as I close in on the finish line on Saturday, July 7. That’s why I added a neighborhood walk after 90 minutes of tennis. Thankfully the tennis was indoors, so I didn’t absolutely melt away, but even at 10:30 p.m. the walk was steamy. I’m surprised I didn’t end up as a puddle in the middle of the road. Getting close to the end!

Miles walked/run: 8.87 miles. Here’s the screenshot from my FitBit:

Miles remaining in challenge: 29.96

Activity Day 63: For this walk, I once again enjoyed the company of my better 3/4, my partner in crime, Celeste Lowder. The day was very hot and steamy so we waited until about 9 p.m. to get started, which allowed us to get in some good miles without risking heat stroke.

Activity Days 56-57: For this walk, I once again enjoyed the company of my better 3/4, my partner in crime, Celeste Lowder. We took advantage of the coolest day we’ve had for weeks, and likely the last cool day we’ll have for at least a month, to get in some serious catch-up miles.

They donated enough for a week’s worth of sponsorship and Sunday was Day 3. It’s appropriate that they are sponsoring my first walk back home since they sponsored my first day in Utah.

Activity Day 52: For this walk I enjoyed the company of my better 3/4, my partner in crime, Celeste Lowder. We took advantage of the summer solstice and milked every minute of the longest day for this walk. Our timing was impeccable because halfway through the walk some thunderstorms rolled in so we had to boogie to get the miles in before the lightning started to get too close for comfort. Gotta say it’s a lot more fun having Celeste with me on these walks and I’m hoping she’ll join me for more. And hey, if you feel like going for a walk with me just give me a shout and maybe we can make it happen. The more the merrier!

Finally, we reached another milestone: less than 100 miles left for me to make the 367 challenge goal!

Miles walked/run: 7.06 miles. Here’s the screenshot from my FitBit:
