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!!

Got my first 20 minute walk in between the morning game and my beloved Cowboys game. I'm sure I will get more exercise in yelling and throwing my arms up durning the game.

Hello everyone. I got out and walked then my grandson wanted to ride bikes. So I got in a total of 3.87 miles today for a total of 8.61 so far. It was my first bike ride in well over 3 months. It was a short one, but was after a 2 mile walk. So I am good with it B)

Added a short walk with the husband for a new total of 9.48 woohoo. He is recovering from quadruple bypass and told me I could walk with him if I didn't walk to fast lol. So off we went slow and steady. Thanks for this challenge????

I got in 1.8 miles walking today and just finished a 5 mile recumbent bike ride in the garage for 6.8 miles today and a total of 23.54 for the month so far.

Everyone is doing so grwat! I feel like such a slug cuz I haven't had a chance since last Thursday to get any exercise. But we took a 3 me walk today so that puts me at 20.5 miles so far. I hope I can keep up. My work schedule has become a little crazy working two part-time jobs.

That's further ahead than I am! Enjoy your progress.

As promised, second walk of the day done. Needed to do something to walk off the frustration of those last two minutes of play....I love my Cowboys but dang I get frustrated.

4.3. Today

23.6 total

Hi Everyone! My name is Heather and I'm new to this wonderful site! Hope it is OK to do the 100 mile challenge this month with everyone since I do not have a surgery date yet. I am still waiting for everything to be reviewed by the doctor and then the waiting begins for the "approval" ! I figured this is an awesome way to get the ball rolling... :)

oooooh, I'm late to the party but I'm in!

I just got a new bike so I'll be logging my biking miles with an aggressive goal for me of 300 miles for the month.

I started on the 3rd so far I'm up to 34 miles so I've got some catching up to do if I'm going to make it to 300!

1.92 miles down 98.08 more to go...

3.37 today, total of 27.21... Hoping to get back to gym ASAP, my knees are feeling better

MY FITBIT BATTERY DIED. It logged NOTHING. I am a bit OCD so if it's not logged' date=' I cannot/will not guesstimate. I get a big fat zero for that day.[/quote'].

Lipsticklady, that seems like an awful lot of activity to take a zero for! You don't want to take an educated guess? Maybe based on steps or time or something? Just sayin, that would KILL me!

Kudos on your activity level, though. Pretty impressive!!

Walked 7.5 miles Sunday....makes my total 36.5

Hahahaha. "Lady' date=' step away from the Quest bars!"[/quote']

I think I may be addicted! They digest so much easier than real food...plus there is no cooking involved, which means no dirty pots or pans to clean up. Just one small wrapper to dispose of! LOL
