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!!

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.

You are doing so well! People like you and so many others on this challenge make it worthwhile to commit to this. Keep up the good work. I also have an exercise bike and I absolutely love it! I like to walk and hike as well. But, the walking and hiking depend on the weather. I can ride my bike at any time. You have to do whatever works for you!

Okay celebrating 3 years being sleeved TODAY!!! Woo hoo!

(if you want before/after pics, etc.)

So in honor of my 3 year anniversary of the sleeve I went to women & weights and did a 1 hour lifting workout, followed by my beloved spin class BUT I was sporting these bad boys:

MY NEW SPIN SHOES!!!

They have the little clip on them so I'm "locked" in when I spin. LOVE THEM!

They were expensive but a MUCH MUCH MUCH better reward than cake:

Miles so far are 119.8...150 I'm coming for you!

Sorry to be a downer, but daylight savings time ends on Nov 3. It will be darker when you get off work. Time to start getting up early!

Killjoy!

Killjoy!

Sorry! I love daylight savings time and wish they would extend it through the whole year.

Took it easy today because I'm swollen up quite a bit today. Walked 1.4 miles for a total of 10.7 so far. Going for 20 by months end.

i lost my fitbit somewhere in the cave/ocean/hike/pool/ferry/hotel. But beore that, I had 3.5 miles on it and that doesn't count the hour long HIKE into the cave nor the 30 mins of swimming.

Edit: That puts me at 50.2 miles. I should be really excited today because of what I accomplished but I lost two pitches and lost my new fitbit and it's being kinda sh@tty considering I'm on vacation and all this bad news is piling up so I'm sulking. I will go sulk and then I will come back and celebrate that i freaking hiked a cave today!

Too bad about the fitbit. I have become quite attached to mine.

Forgot to post earlier, 4 miles on the bike today for a monthly total of 25.5 miles. Need to hit monthly goal of 50!

If you had stuck with cake hiking, you'd still have your fitbit.
