    You may select as many or few miles as you like. I selected 60 per month for myself. Please feel free to do more:laugh:

    Hi ladies! I'll be going to my orthopedic doctor on Monday (the 30th) to hopefully be released to return to exercising. Hope to graduate to some light running but will be very happy to at least add walking back in. I'd like to commit to 50 miles of walking/jogging for January and maybe we'll take this into February?

    Hello everyone. I started running last year. At first it was hard and I felt defeated and wanted to quit. Now I love to run! I still don't run for a long period of time. I do a lot of walk/run intervals, but that's just fine by me. My goal for the month of January is to run 60 miles. I know I can do it and I WILL! I believe you will too! I use Nike+ Run to track my runs or walks. If anyone would like to add me to Nike+ feel free :) My email address for the look up is Flbaseballmom@AOL.com You can add me on MFP as well. Good luck everyone.

    1 mile per day is a great attainable goal.

    Hi, I just joined! I live at the top of a huge hill, but it's more than 2 miles to walk to the bottom and top. I will take the challenge to walk 60 miles in January.
    :smile:
    Glad to be here to take the challenge!

    I've just signed up for a starters running course as I am a hopeless runner and I will walk more too.

    I'm looking forward to starting this one!

    Thanks, Bootcey for starting this group!!!

    I'm Joanne (56 yrs,) from ccccold Alberta, Canada.
    I reached goal and maintained for about a year, but have slacked off in the last 6 months.
    And the pounds are slowly adding up!

    I'd like to get back to healthy eating and consistent exercise.
    So, I commit to 60 miles for the month of January......AND logging food each day.

    Blessings on ya as we begin this journey together!!:flowerforyou:
