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!!

Slow day for me today. Only got in 2.75 miles today. That puts me at 14.92 miles so far. I probably won't get much in tomorrow. Going to take my Mother-in-law over to Dallas to catch a flight. I am gonna check out Performance Bike while there though. Have a great weekend everyone!

I want to join in on the October 100 mile challenge.

You' date=' 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. ;)[/quote']

Yes I commute to Austin, Tx on a weekly basis. I'm home on the weekends. We could meet for a nice ride sometime.

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

Well it doesn't hurt to try!... But it still hurts to run! :(

That would be awesome, hopefully we will still get to experience fall... But who knows in Colorado!

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?? :P

no need to sit alone. I already have a kid's table going. So far its me, lilgemini, and zenandnow. You're welcome to join! :P

Yep, there I am, going along at a snail's pace! 2 miles yesterday for a grand total of 6.6 miles as of 10/4. I have managed to keep up on my Squatober challenge, though, and as of yesterday was at 405.

Going to try to get on my borrowed bike today; looks like I'm going to have to get a lot of gear! Haven't been on a bike in forever, so I'll need a helmet & whatever else one is supposed to wear to ride nowadays.

And Laura-ven - just for the record, I like the "Going Backwards Posse". It sounds kinda gansta. You know, like a bunch of wimpy white ladies should sound!
