November Walking Challenge

NeuroticVirgo

Well, I didn't see anyone continue this challenge from the one we did in October, so I started a new thread for it. lol

Old thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/122813-we-should-do-a-walk-challenge

Basically, you make your own goal, and try to get there by the end of November. I wasn't even walking AT ALL in October, and doing this last month really helped me get out and start exercising.

My personal goal is going to be 65 miles by the end of November. You can even make a ticker and put it in your signature if you want at http://www.tickerfactory.com/. Under exercise Tickers...when your all done copy the [url ] code into your signature.

Hope to see some new faces, and some people from last months challenge on here. [/url]

Great challenge!

I'm in. I've got a week off of training in November after the 10K and I will miss a long run on the Sunday before thanksgiving. I'm going to give myself 45 miles which seems like pushing it with all the events this month. Who knows, maybe I'll get a full head of steam and grab 50 again.

I'm in for 62 miles (100 km) walk/run. My overall target is higher, but I leave biking out of this challenge.

JustJessie

I'm up for the challenge. I'm setting my goal for 50 miles for the month of November. It seems like a good number to start running/walking again since I haven't in a long time.

Thanks for your help!

Learning2LoveMe

Thanks for making the new thread! I will be challenging myself to 35 miles this month.

I will re-do my ticker tonight at home.

(My stupid spreadsheet died on me and I can't finish updating from last month... and I totally forgot to e-mail it to myself to do at work today DOH!. I guess I will be using the Works spreadsheet instead of Excel this month)

minni2906

I'm in. I'm new to this, so I'm trying to learn to balance my time... I'll start out small with 30 miles as my goal for the month.

TeamLeela

hey virgo, thanks for starting the new thread. I walked 2.31 miles today on inclines. Felt great! I've already updated my ticker for November.

I'm new here and I have never walked for exercise or weight loss before. I'd like to participate in the challenge, but I have NO clue what to set my goal as. A friend and I will be walking together 3 days a week at our local mall, for a total of an hour each day. I may jump in and do a day or two by myself on top of that. I don't walk TOO fast, but I hope to keep a moderate pace. I want to start out with a goal that is on the lower side so I don't get discouraged if I don't achieve it. KWIM? Can anyone give me any suggestions? Thanks!!

Hello everyone, here we go again:happy: , I have decided to stick with 100 miles for November even though I did manage over 150 in October.......... with the weather changing I think that might be wishful thinking lol. I have done 4 miles on Monday and 3 miles today, good luck and happy walking !!!

ShellyLee

I'm a little late, but I'd like to join. I'm going to start with 40miles.

Check with the mall office, they often have 'milage counts' for the walkers. Our mall is 1 mile if you include the short spots to the anchor stores. With info in hand you can estimate after your first walk. Say its a mile, you go around three times in an hour the each walk is worth 3 miles. 3 miles x 3 times/week x 4 weeks = 36. I would say add 5 or 10 for your extra day or two on your own and I'd say you have a good obtainable goal. Glad to see you on board, looking forward to your success!

I'm in this again..I have my progress on top of my weight loss ticker. I only did 100 because last month I feel like i really slacked and dont want to set something I won't make it to since I'm doing different workouts. :happy:

That's a good idea, thanks! I'll stop in their office when I'm there tomorrow.

Also, if your walking outside, you can use google maps to track your distance (or at least that's what I do). It lets you drag the marker around to map out your path.
