Congratulations to everyone who will or have completed their 60 Miles in September. I know for me it really moved the scale. Well get ready because I want to do this again in October. For those of you who do not know, this challenge is for EVERYONE who does any type of walking (I prefer Leslie Sansone Walk Away the pounds) just add your ticker like mine (see below) and update it as well as this forum when you've completed 1..2..3..miles ect.(See the September Walk Challenge for examples). The challenge starts October 1st and ends October 31st so that gives us 31 days to get 60 miles done. CAN WE DO IT AGAIN!!!!

Joan: I say you should modify it any way you want--the ultimate goal is motivation and movement, right? I'm going to be doing my 60 miles on the elliptical to minimize the impact on my knees, and I want my 60 miles to be above and beyond my daily activity, but that's MY plan. I think yours should be what you want it to be!

I agree the idea is to motivate everyone to get moving...

4 Big Miles this morning started a new audio book...Sisters of APF by Zane!!! Great motivation if I want to know what happends next I have to get up and walk walk walk.... Happy Monday Everyone

I got in 2 miles on Saturday and 2.5 on Sunday. I will do 2 miles after work when I take the baby to the park.

Count me in. I am training for a 5 mile run in November and this will be a great motivator!

This is just what I need. Exercise really needs to become a priority or this band is going to become another failed attempt

I'm so in. This will be my first month for a challenge!! I'm 3 days behind but I'm sure I'll catch up. I'm going to try to get my roommates who are not banded, to walk with me too. :-)

4 miles down so far! I'm so excited I bought a new pair of shoes with the Nike insert thing, and used it this morning. Works awesome and is a great motivator with the voice prompts and whatnot.

Shooting for 3 more miles tomorrow on a new trail I just found. Can't wait!

Great job so far everyone, keep up the pace!

Got my first 3 miles in for the month on Saturday on the elliptical. Can't wait to do some more even if I am still sore from it.

I am in... I am supposed to be training for a half marathon at the end of the month, I don't know if I'll be all the way ready for it but I know I can get 60 miles in.

I have intentionally gone for walks each day for 2 miles per day. Sometimes I will park extra far at a shopping center or I'll walk up and down every single aisle at Sam's Club or costco. Also at work sometimes I will walk the extra long way around the school building or walk to the farthest bathroom. I have ordered a new pedometer that should arrive soon. It is the kind you carry anywhere on you, a pocket, purse... I hate the kind that is clipped to your waistband! They always fall off on me or reset themselves.

Happy walking!

Does zumba count toward miles? And if it does, how many miles is an hour of zumba worth?

4 Miles this morning with the Firm Band...I can really feel my arms toning..27 days and 48 miles to go..

2 miles yesterday, need to step up my game if i want to reach goal this month.

If you can figure the number of steps you take during Zumba, I say count it Maybe you should try wearing a Pedometer during Zumba to count the distance.

If you'll have me, I'm in. I'm going to use the October 60 mile challenge to help me with my weight loss goal for the October SCARY Challenge!

Monster Mash May!
