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!!

You guys are all making 100 miles look too easy. Proud of y'all.

No miles today, but I did have a good workout.

500 m row

3 sets of 5 Romanian deadlifts @ 315 #

WOD

"The chief"

Against a three-minute running clock, complete as many reps as possible of:

3 Power Cleans 135#/95#

6 Push-Ups

9 Air Squats

Repeat for a total of five sets, resting 60 seconds between sets. Pick up each set where you left off when the last ended.

My results : 361 total reps

Good sweat. Felt like a Fran.

Tomorrow is a rest day so no miles. Nada. Going to kick my feet up and cheer y'all on.

Forced myself out to walk 1.5 miles today. Hurting but hey' date=' I'm now to 36.2 miles.[/quote']

In case butter thinks 100 is too easy and ups the goal for next month or something, let me check in with 2 additional miles today putting me at a measly 38.2 miles now. Yes I do think I will make my original 40 mile goal

Walked another 1.5 miles this morning. I could tell that was right on the limit of my endurance at the moment. Total so far is 3.9 miles.

You're already cleared to walk? For some reason I thought it would be longer before that would be okay.

How do you feel physically after this amount of endurance competition?

I had absolutely nothing left in the tank about 1.5 miles from the finish and collapsed. If they had helped me, it wouldn't have counted so a woman came out from the crowd and started yelling at me to get up with a Philippino accent . It actually made me laugh and she said "Good. Now go finish." I managed to chuckle the rest of way in just thinking about it. It took my mind off of it, that's for sure. I got some IV fluids and a massage at the end before I went back to the hotel. Funny thing was that I couldn't really sleep long and I was back up only a few hours later. I was kind of in a state of delirium. I didn't want to do anything but feel what I had accomplished. It's something no one can take away from me. I'm actually thinking of getting a tattoo as a reminder of the event (mind you I'll be 60 in a few years and never thought of getting one before, so that is pretty funny to those near to me).

Cleared for EASY walking. Frankly that 1.5 miles was a bit too much. I should have kept it to a mile. Today I will. Heck I may even call today a rest day. I don't have much energy but I'm also tired of sitting around already. The restlessness is the hardest part for me. Running 140 miles last month didn't burn me out on running like I hoped it would. And now the weather is taking a very good turn and that makes me wanna get out even more. Gotta. Be. Patient.

Glad to hear you're on the mend, Butter! Hope all is going well & you're back on the trails soon

Been a slow week - had the flu, which really kicked my butt. Haven't been able to do much this week, so I'm only at 24.9 miles (I know, if I'd realized I was that close I would have kept going to get an even 25, but c'est la vie).

Only able to crank out 50 squats since Monday, so as of yesterday my total is 1350.

Good news is I lost 2 lbs and I'm only 1.5 from halfway, so at least that's something...

Wow incredible! I'm glad you are ok.

I'm up over 100 for now. I don't have my phone in front of me (that is where I keep track) but I think it was 101.4. I will go with that for now. But remember my goal isn't 100, it's 150 which is up almost 30 miles from last month (Sept. I hit about 121 miles.)

Hi all! I love everyone's posts...I'm battling a cold right now. I haven't been sick in the longest time! ugh... So, I took a break on Wednesday and yesterday I got 5.07 in on my bike. My total for the month is now at 63.77. I have 61.23 to go for my 125 mile goal! Looks like minimum of 5 miles/day for me! Keep up the good work everyone!

You are my hero (heroine ?)

Great job everyone! Let's finish the week strong. It is hard for me to take a rest day today, but, have to. I will be waving from my lounge chair as you guys run by.

Added 11.88 miles biking and another 3 walking Wednesday night and last. Total 97.33

Reporting early...Got some plans with the wife. I did walk 2.1 miles today which puts me at 87.7 miles for the month. Hope everyone is doing great! Numbers are impressive once again this month. Keep it up!

How are you feeling? Go easy on yourself. Flu is no joke.
