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!!

Ted how's your wife doing?

She is doing great. No pain, sleeping decent and holding down shakes and water with no problems. Every day is a little better than the day before. She has been a little slow on starting to walk but she has her pace and I respect that. I will just have to lap her...lol Thanks for asking.

Georgia...sorry about your setback. Rest up and get well quick.

Week 1 report - 27 miles. I'm secretly shooting for 120 this month, so let's see how it goes. I've started running... well, I should call it a jog... well, if I'm going to be honest about it, I should really call it a "wog" (part walk, part jog). The scale is kinda stuck right now (fluctuates b/w 297 and 300), but this too shall pass.

7.3 miles on the stationary bike and 1/2 hour of weight machines. My miles total 27.8. I'm shooting for 125 total for this month.

Missus bean ran 5 miles this morning. Her total is 25.5.

Up another 2.16 miles today...total for the month 4.08 miles :-)

Ok 7.8 miles on the recumbent bike today..

30.8 miles total

15 exhausting miles today on my bike. 48 miles total for the month. Goal of 300 miles biked in October.

Nice!

15 miles today which brings me to 43 for the month.

I am somewhat shocked to report that I walked 3 miles today, bringing my total to 20.6 miles. That doesn't even sound possible to me. I had hoped to hit 40 miles this month and while I still hope to hit 40, I also realize it's the 8th of October and I've hit 20.6 miles already. How is that even possible?!

Loving this. The challenge and my fitbit both urged me to walk back and forth to the client's office, and then back and forth to dinner.

Which by the way was TWO delicious lobster tails! I can not believe I was able to eat them both with no problems. I hit 101 gms of protein while a)on the road and b)without shakes. happy day!

Logged another 8 miles today for 52.5 total
