May 2014 Who's in?

Hi I'm Karen. This is my third month in a row for this challenge and I like the fact that it pushes me to do that bit more exercise than I normally would. My goal for this month will be 100 miles. I already know the kids are off school at the end of the month, so I'll have to push myself early in the month to get in the mileage!

If this is your first month tell us your goal for the month. We will post our progress on the topic called 'May 2014 Week 1'. For tips on posting see the topic 'Recording Progress' and to find these topics 'click' on "100 Mile Monthly Walking Challenges" at the bottom of this page.

Thank you for joining :flowerforyou:

My goal for May is 100 Miles.
May 3rd is the MS Walks across Canada...and maybe elsewhere. I am walking with my kids.
Hopefully there will be yard work to do...IF IT ever quits snowing here!!

Good luck everyone

Hi! This will be my first month & I'm going to say 50 miles. If I had a pedometer& could measure my indoor walks too I might try 100 off the break but I do not. I love this idea & am excited to see how I do!

mlh37214

I'm in again!! This month, I'm going to work toward 100 miles on my Fitbit and 50 miles on MapMyRun...it's warming up and I need something to motivate me to do more walk/jogs, and not just daily activities!

mrice1973

This will be my first time, and I'm going to go for 100 miles. The weather should be good for walks outside most of the time. I've been averaging about 2 a day on my Fitbit, so this sounds like what I need to bump up my exercise.

I am so in: Can't wait. I'm nearly done with Aprils challenge



Let's get it done

sheskimtastic

I'm in. I walk to work and school regularly but don't track my distance. It should be fun to see how far I'm actually going.

Mhgretsch

Bananahat

I'm in. This is my first time and my goal is to walk 161 km. A challenge will keep me motivated.

sofagreen

I'm in too! First challenge I have accepted on mfp. I love walking and so do my dogs so this should be a great one for me. I hope I will be motivated to exceed the 100! thanks

christa279

I'm in again!

My name is Christa and this is my 3rd month doing the walking challenge. I use my FitBit One and count all my mileage for the day. Before February I was a complete couch potato, so the object for me is to just move more! I'm still shooting for 100 miles, although I will be pushing myself to hit closer to 150 miles for May.

My daughter and I are doing a Kids 5K Color Run this month. I'm also hoping to just increase my general exercise, especially with the nicer weather!!

KCSF

I'm a newbie! This will be a huge encouragement to get moving again! My goal is go 75 miles. I will just track actual miles that I covered through doing activity (such as walking on treadmill.)

Thanks for starting this!

williamsge

Hi Group! My name is Georgia and I've tried to complete this challenge several times in the past with no success. I'm setting my mind to walking 100 miles in May, in a combination of ways (outside, walking DVDs, and treadmill). Quitting is not an option this time! :bigsmile:

cecesquats

hi, everyone! my name's cece and this will be my first month with this challenge. right now i'm also doing the c25k, so i think this will be a great way to add onto that program. my goal is 100 miles

bostonmom23

Hi this is my first month participating in the challenge. I have a fitbit and do over 100 miles a month but I want to do more. I have back slipped in my eating. If I do well increasing my mileage I will be better with my goes in my mouth. I am hoping for May to do atleast 150 miles.

kshaw5501

I'm Kelly and I'm in for May. I've been doing these 100 mile walking challenges for a few months now and it really helps me to push myself walk more. I use a Fitbit to track my miles.

vemstalminkatt

Hi!
I am Emma. Think this challenge would be great for me, beause when I am not walking back and forth from train and bus stations I am very much a couch-potato.

Will do this challenge by walking 4 miles a day with a indoor-walking workout video.

Good luck to everyone!

ahelgers10

I am in! My name is Amy and I think this is perfect challenge for me. I am going to set a goal of 100 miles. Most of mine will be doing indoor waling videos due to have 3 kids but hopefully it will get nice and we can start going for walks together.

fgrice11

I'm in! This will be my first month long challenge. I AM going to walk 100 miles this month! Right now I average 3-3.2 miles a day, so this will step it up. I'm also restarting the C25K, so this should help amp up my miles:)

strawmama

I'm in! My name's Michelle and I am gonna aim for 150 miles, according to my Fitbit. Last month I got up to 132 miles, the most in one month's time for me!

kasaz

This month will be a little different for me. I've only been using info from official hikes these last couple of months. I'll be in Mexico attending Spanish classes in May. I'm going to use my Fitbit and count whatever walking I get in. I think this will give me motivation to get more steps in than I might without the challenge. I'll let you know how it goes.

kcasey155

Right, well I'm ending April 10.2 miles short of 100 :sad: , but that's because I was silly and lazy over the kids' break at Easter :grumble: . In May I will make 100 miles and I will lose at least 3.2lbs to get to my first weight goal of 170lbs (from 186lb at New Year). My goal is in sight and I will achieve it!!!

dwarfiegodsmack

vhines57

RamonaMoon

Definitely in!! I couldn't post as much the last couple of weeks cos of college but I still hit my target!! 110 miles for May. Bring it on

jltheis7

Hi, I'm tracking steps so at 10,000 steps a day times 31 days = 310,000 steps. That seems like a lot. But every journey starts with that first step so I'm off to walk with the dog.

First timer! I'm in!

prawny1967

Hi, I'm Dawn. A first timer who is going to aim to walk 100 miles. I was running 5k three times a week but an injury means I have had to cut my running right back so I need an incentive to keep walking. I am increasing my running a bit too but will just be tracking my proper walks using Mapmywalk.
