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!!

Okay 3 miles on stationary bike, puts me at 5.5 so far.

6.41 today, 11.41 total! :-)

I only did 3 miles yesterday and 3.7 today so I am off to a slow start.

That said, I did 100 push ups and I beat the crap out if someone I can't stand during a sparring class today. Even better, no gloves, so my knuckles are purple and swollen as is she from the jaw down to her waist. She started it by hitting me in the face during a no contact class and it was on.

Totally fab!

4 more miles tonight. Brings my total October to 8.

3.5 today. Grand total 7. Smh.

Gotta kick it into gear but not much energy for some reason. I promise I will try harder!

I need to average 4 per day to hit 125 by month end.

Walked 7.5 miles today making my total 15.5. And Georgia...snacks are so much more fun than meals! LOL

Did they kick you out?

Did they kick you out?

Nope. She's a higher belt than me and she hit me first. She should have had more control so it was clearly intentional. I just gave it back. Worse.

Ok I'm a little late joining the challenge but I want to give it a try...and I'm Jennifer!

Does anyone know of a really good app to track your miles?

Thanks

Jennifer

I use the Map My Ride app. It's free and you can track miles for all sorts of activities.

Did my 4 miles yesterday. Puts me at 8 for the month.

Hi all! I'm off to a good start (for me) since last challenge I started a week late. My total for Tuesday & Wednesday is: 12.13 miles. I walked 4.3 miles and rode my bike 7.83 miles. Today I plan on getting in a 2 mile walk at lunchtime but not much more than that since I have plans to meet up with my friends for dinner. I love reading everyone's posts! They are very motivational...Keep up the good work everyone!

1.1 miles yesterday, for a total of 2.4. A lot slower than most folks on here, but I'm movin'! Trying out the bike this weekend, so hopefully I can put on some miles that way.

Also up to 200 squats for my Squatober challenge; thinking that maybe doing both challenges in one month wasn't the best idea - the legs are purty sore!!

Nope. She's a higher belt than me and she hit me first. She should have had more control so it was clearly intentional. I just gave it back. Worse.

Sounds like you should be a higher belt than her! I'm a little jealous - there aren't many situations where it's acceptable to actually hit the person you don't like!
