November 60 Mile Walk Challenge

Congratulations to everyone who will or have completed their 60 Miles in October. we had an even bigger crowd this month. I know for me it really moved the scale. Are you ready for NOVEMBER :D . 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 October Walk Challenge for examples). The challenge starts November1st and ends November 30th so that gives us 30 days to get 60 miles done. CAN WE DO IT AGAIN!!!!

I figure I should jump right in! I'm getting banded this month so I'll have to try to get in some extra miles before the actually surgery! Do you guys count only miles that are specifically "exercise" or do you count the entire day's worth, like from a pedometer?

The idea of this challege is to get everyone moving so if you can get in 1...2.. or 3 miles using a pedometer great count it :D Good Luck

I use Leslie Sansone's WALK AWAY the Pounds Dvd's I love these..low impact great results.

I didn't join in last month, so I am so ready this month. I am a day late, but I am in. I am still pretty sick, but I will do some walking today. I am excited.

Well, I did not keep my ticker updated for October, and I did not make 60 miles, but I came close at 56.4 miles!! Since that's way more than I would have done without this challenge, I'm in for November as well. I'll try to update myself at least once a week this time!

I am in! I was hoping you were doing this in Nov. I was banded in Sept and started really walking miles at a time in mid Oct so I was late to start the challenge then. It will be a good challenge!

Welcome all new members of this Challenge, I got in 5 Miles this morning 10 down 50 to go...

I'd like to join again. This month I am going to finish!

sorry i have been on job interviews the last 2 days.. i did get 3 miles in and i have the gym tonight !! :)

My feet hurt, my knees hurt but I walked 4 miles today!! Dont think I have ever walked 4 miles at once! I took me over an hour but I think I will do this again tomorrow! On my way to a smaller and healthier me.

So far I've been walking daily - mostly on the treadmill. By doing about 2 miles a day that seems more manageable for me. However, I am beginning to tack on a few blocks over my daily goal so that I've got time in in case I missed a day. It seems that I don't really have the time or energy to do more than 2 miles on a daily basis. However, if I were outdoors walking maybe just 2-3 times a week, I could do 5 miles. Right now, I am very sore and tuckered out during the day; so it's nightly hot baths to relieve the soreness (which I hope will subside soon). This is an amazing challenge (and so far tough for me).

Okay this will be my first time for this. Can't wait! Do most of you walk daily or so many times a week? Don't know if I can do daily so I am going to try at least 4 miles 4 times a week. We will see what works best for me I guess.

JaGo, try stretching if you're not already. I stretch every time I walk, before and after. And yes, I think just building up your endurance helps with the soreness too.

another 2 down last night ... need to get some xtra walking in to make this !! :(
