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!!

Love to see all these miles (and porch swinging... and hot suit walking) adding up! I didn't rack up anything today.. LOTS of rain and wind. I'm falling behind!!! Going to add a short AM ride tomorrow to try to start catching up. Going to shoot for 15 miles tomorrow!

I am at 16.8 miles total. Not as far as I had hoped. I have 17 days left for serious workouts. Of those 17 remaining calendar days, 13 are realistic due to evening work and my last date night prior to surgery.

3 miles walking in today. That puts me a 26.55 miles so far. I am happy with that, but time to kick it in gear! I get to pick up my new mountain bike tomorrow! I can't wait!

I am not gonna lie. Just didn't want to today. I did a really dumb thing Sat and suffering for it now. Decided to change out my bedding so I lifted my tempurpedic king mattress up and held it up with my head and shoulders while I put on a new bed skirt. I knew immediately after letting it down I had screwed up. (C5/6 bulging discs in neck). SOOO, now I can't turn my head sideways or up and Down without pain. Tins unit, flex aril and meloxacam are my friends right now.

Only 1.1 mile in today. :(. Total 24.7.

Wanted to check in and say I'm still among the living. I did 10 miles today on the bike (indoor)

Total 23 miles

Georgia, I'm sorry that you are hurting take care.

Everyone else great job :)

Oh no! That is a major bummer. Take it easy and feel better quick! You might need to join Butter on the porch with a quilt of your own.

+1.8 miles in airport shenanigans = 17.5 miles. Here's a lesson in how to do that' date=' boys and girls. Arrive Miami airport after practically running through Jacksonville airport. Deplane gate d60 and decide to walk to d24. Yay. Walk walk walk, watch the sky train go by 4 stations you passed on. get to d24. Receive text saying gate changed to d27. Walk. Receive text saying gate d11. Give up and decide this is a good time for dinner. So I could possibly add another half mile still :) Then again my dinner is salami, ham, proscuitto and olives! In an airport. I'm happy.[/quote']

Oh and didi I mention I did this in heels with a 25 lb backpack on my shoulders? And dragging a suitcase behind me? Mwahahaha!

(Sorry it just made me really happy to be able to do it. And my heels weren't outrageous but still!)

Can't wait to be that person posting 5 or 10 miles a day but I'm getting better and did a mile and a half today.
