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!!

OMG thank you! I look somedays and kinda feel like quitting!

We need to come up with a name!

By the skin of our teeth girls?

With a wing and a pray?

The any slower and we'd be going backwards posse??

Lol! i like that one

Ok. I'm late, which you will learn is very normal for me. But I'm in. I'm going to strive for 100, today I worked out with my trainer for a solid

50 min but didn't have a pedometer on. So I'll get out and walk.

Right now I'm home cleaning all of my clothes out of my closet and waiting for Comcast to fix my football channels. (sorry that's totally off topic and could turn this amazing thread very negative).

I'm Carolyn, I live in the North Denver suburbs. It's snowing a little today, but we have a few months of good riding in Oct and Nov, so I'll be out on my new bike. I have Plantar Fascitis that I thought would resolve after surgery, but it's still troublesome.

I work in Austin and it's getting cool enough there to get outside and walk.

Great thread and I'm thrilled to find such an upbeat and supportive topic!

Butter, hope you heal up quickly. I'm glad your wife is participating. Getting the family healthy is an amazing biproduct of having surgery.

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...

Same user name I have always had. My avatar used to be a pic of me and my 16 month old so. My name is William.

Well I had initially said I would sit at the table marked P for wussy but I don't think anyone else found it as funny as I did Skin of my teeth baby!

Haven't checked in, but I'm at 20 miles since the first. Slow start, but I'll get up there (hopefully). You all are doing are doing great! Keep it up!

Just so you know....everyone here at the Butter Ranch loved this. But missus Butter said she's barely gonna manage my miles.

You, Meliss000 and I are all in Colorado. What do you mean your work in Austin? As in Austin, TX? You "commute" from Denver to Austin?

Welcome to the challenge, yeah that snow was a tad early for my taste, but meh, with the way our weather has been I wasn't too surprised by it. Maybe it will freeze some of the mud.

I did 5 miles before work this morning, which I think brings me to 18 for the month.

Wow everyone is doing great! Got 3 miles in today up to 9.5 miles now. Starting the gym next week and plan in biking my little butt off.

Missus bean is resting up from playing nursemaid plus she's got a 10 mile trail run planned for tomorrow

Keep up the great work everyone.

I'm 2.4 weeks sleeved, and have done 12 blocks at a time around my neighborhood. I've had some problems with weakness but I'm in, although late and not sure i can hit 100 I will try Needing to keep motivated, my 1 yr goal is a half marathon, my short term is a 2 mile fun run on Thanksgiving.

Most people call me Phay or Phae, short for my name Phaedra.

Sadly only 2.5 today. Total 15.3.
