I'm in! Just starting up again after a 9 month stress fracture battle... I'll go for 50 (although I'm still at a walk/run) This is my first day with my Fit Bit.

Daisy471

In for 70!

ashleyroper75

I didn't make my goal for September, but I was close! So 40 for me again this month. I'm going to knock it out!!

SingRunTing

I'm new to doing running challenges. I'll go for 40 this month.

Edit: question answered. Added ticker.

lesaw01

I'm in for October. Planning for 50 miles but hoping to get more than that done.

PLAID1977

In for 31 miles in 31 days. I've been on a 6 week hiatus from running. I need this!

I'm new to doing running challenges. I'll go for 40 this month.

Is there going to be a group or something, or do we just update this thread??

It's an honors system. You post your miles daily here in this thread. Although, we do have a group page (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/21182-monthly-running-challenges) it is mostly for references and place to ask questions or additional support. Logging your miles is done here.

I'm going to go with 50 miles this month. Hoping I get more but this is a start. I'm trying to incorporate running into my lifting routine.

100andOnward

I'm in for 150, and I'd be super thrilled with 175. But I'm tracking everything--my walks, runs, etc.

QueenMother14

I am going for 40 miles in October since I turn 40 on October 8. I am just getting back into running so this will definitely be a challenge.

Chaidell

I've never really done long distance running before, only sprints, so I'm going to try and slowly make the transition into distance running with almost a mile everyday. So for the month of October, I'd like to run 30 miles.
10/1 - 1 mile

KristenE83

I'm glad I found this group.... going for 31 miles in October. I will probably crush that goal but I know it's attainable with my other workouts.

10/1 – 3.26 miles

Happy October everyone! ran my first 4.3 miles this morning in the rain, but I'll go back out this evening to finish the day. I'm excited for all the new runners who've posted goals this month. I hope you learn to love running & are encouraged by all the miles people log here. I wish I had time to cheer on everyone!

@QueenMedusa- from almost 11 miles last month to 31 this month- Nice new goal! Put those new shoes to work!

@QueenMother14- I started running again after a 15 year break the summer before I turned 40. I'll turn 41 at the end of this October. 40 miles is an achievable goal- you've got this!


DATE : MILES : TOTAL
Oct 1 : 4.3 : 4.3 rain

I'll start as I've been slacking in my running (but not overall exercise)!

Goal: 120 miles for the month of October.

10/1: REST DAY (How's that for a good steady start to the challenge? :P To be fair, this was already my planned rest day this week)

hutch505

Count me in for 35 miles. I'm just getting back into running and hoping to do a 5k on Thangsgiving.

CodeMonkey78

I'm in but I don't do miles. I run kilometers....being Canadian and all....lol....I think I'll shoot for 90k might have to revisit that goal as the month goes on.

Welcome fellow km tracker! I'm not Canadian, but you just don't do engineering/science in US Standard Units. Nerds have been taken out back and stoned for less..

This cracked me up! So true, but I do still measure my runs in miles :noway:

I do km for quick, easy split calculation while running.. It's just easier for me than something like: what is 9.33 miles * <some pace>.

10/01 = 7 miles, outdoors

I LOVE your weight loss ticker .
