October 100 Mile Challange!

Hey everyone! Great job on your totals for September and a huge thank you to Butterthebean for starting that post and challenging us all to challenge ourselves. We all wish BTB great success and a speedy recovery from his surgery. We know you will be watching and cheering us on. October is among us and with that comes a new challenge. 100 miles in 31 days! Walk, run, bike, whatever you do, log those miles and drink that water! Anyone who has been lurking in the shadows and watching last months challenge, now is your time to join us! It doesn't matter if you do 1 mile a day or 20, just go at your pace and have fun! For those of us who participated in last months challenge, I want to issue a personal challenge to add another 15 miles to what you did last month. After all, there is 1 more day in this month.

On a side note, this group has become very motivational for me as well as others. If you don't mind, let's let everyone know your real first name. If you would rather not and just want to go with your username that is perfectly fine. I will kick it off...my name is Ted. Good luck everyone and log those miles!!

Welcome!

So basically you will be done in the first week?? Doesn't sound like much as a challenge! :D

Ya I am done with the 100 mile challenge but I shoot for 400-500 miles a month. I have logged over 2800 miles since I started being able to ride again in May and have done over 8 races so far this year with 2 to go. Losing 100 lbs has done amazing things for my riding. I have always been good and fast but now...

I am however joining you all for real in November and am going to shoot for running 100 miles. I am a terrible runner and this will be vet difficult for me!!

This is awesome though. Most if not all of you go for it everyday and really pack it on at the end trying to make the goal. Century clubs are fun!

Your new pic and name are driving me crazy! Who did you used to be?? I know I know you you.. But my memory fails...

I have been doing the October challenge, but not posting back so much any longer. This month I am going to reach new distances through both running and rowing. I am averaging about 1-3 miles of fast Sprint running outside on pavement daily and about 2000 m of rowing every other day, both for time. I want to start dong some rowing at home (we have a concept II b; it is a tank!) in the mornings to compliment the cross fit conditioning workouts I do in the afternoon. Need to get back on my treadmill at home again also to do some 5-10k running.i miss doing the longer slower runs, enjoying the less frantic conditioning of timed runs, perhaps watching tv or listening to music. Lately have not been doing at home working out at all and feel guilty about unused equipment. I am a slacker. :)
