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!!

8 miles today on the bike.

MTD: 56 miles.. 244 miles to go!

Yeah I'm doing the happy happy dance. Does dancing count as a mile?

Thank you! My first selfie!

Great new pic!! Looking great!

Did another 2.63 miles today for a total of 6.71 miles thus far :-)

Got in 3.40 miles walking today which puts me at 33.94 miles total so far.

I got home late from work so didn't have a chance to ride the bike but I did stop and buy a headlight/taillight set so I can ride early morning or evening time.

Great job so far this month everyone. You are doing great! It is great to see all the new faces doing so well! Keep it up everyone!

I have fallen so far off the wagon and it's killing me!! I have SO MANY MILES to do to catch up. ARGH!!!!

As of today I have 23.9. OH!!! Ugly number!! I am going to go jog on my trampoline to get that up to 24. BRB!!!

Completed my planned workout today (see above). Felt good. As far as miles, I did 1 mile run and 500 m row before getting into the beat down.

ANNNNNNNNND 24. Ahhhh....

Question. Are you guys counting all that you walk in a day, or only things where you set out for a long exercising walk? Do I count all my fit it miles or inky ones where I set out to exercise?

It's up to you. I think if I were just walking for exercise I would only count the walking where I got my heart rate up. Since I'm tracking running, walking, and biking I am counting all of it because it would be too hard to break it all down.

Hmm. I'm counting walking and biking too. But today I"ll only take credit for 1 mile because the rest of it just happened. So 21.6 today. Lots of pain and acute flare up now so will have to take next day or two off.

2.25 today. 28.5 total

20 Shoulder to Overhead (115/75 lbs)

30 Double-Unders

Shoulder to overhead, Pull-ups are still my "weak technique due to mobility" exercises. wish me luck!!

Everyday I am trying to get the mobility corrected in my thoracic region so these will get better. Lacross ball and roller are my BFF along with any stretch that loosens those tight front and upper back muscles. Learning more about mobility stretching every single day and also starting to really " hear" how my body needs and responds to mobility.

Good luck everyone!!
