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!!

You can do it RoxFC. Don't give up. We have 10 days left. I plan to get at least 5 miles Halloween night. No distance is too far to walk for free candy.

Yo Butter: i think you should wear your pie snorkeling outfit for Halloween!

3 fun filled miles today! That puts me just short at 98.6 miles! Tomorrow is the day! 100 again! I still can't believe I have been able to do this for 2 months. I actually enjoy walking! It is a definite change in lifestyle for me and I am loving it! This group is a major reason for it. You all motivate me! Thank you!

I would but my snorkel might scare the children.

5.6 today. Total 87!!! 100 by Friday!!

Hey everyone! It's awesome to see that so many are doing so well in keeping up with their personal challenges or surpassing them. So many of you inspire me. Well, I'm happy to report that I've added another 36 miles in these past 7 days (however, I didn't workout for two of the days because we took the kids out to a pumpkin patch and then to SeaWorld...so I lost 2 days and could've done more). My total for Ocober thus far is 119. There are 9 more days left in October and 31 miles between here and my goal of 150 miles. Can't wait to hit it!

I'm feeling a little more motivated now! Last night I took a quick 1 mile walk with my dog and rode my bike for 7.6 miles. My total so far is 81.87 miles. Everyone is doing awesome and is very motivational...I love this challenge!

Lots going on for me these last 10 days. I rode the bike but I didn't keep track of it! 5 miles last night and 5 miles this morning bring me to 83 for the month!

Every mile I see posted is such a great motivation. No matter the totals, every mile is one mile better than sitting on the couch. LOVE these challenges. I really do not like exercise, I always found it boring and had to force myself. I was motivated to buy a bike last month after the September 100 mile challenge started and my bike arrived mid way through. I never believed it would be something I would enjoy so much. I look forward to it, and am counting the days to daylight savings time so it stays lighter a bit longer for me to get my rides in after work. You are ALL a huge inspiration!!

I added 7.2 miles last night for a total of 121.76.
