200km in September Challenge

Hey everyone!
This month i'm taking on a personal challenge to walk 200km to raise money to bring a dear family friend over from Malawi to Australia to seek refuge, as her life is in serious danger in her home country.

I thought to myself, how about if i make it a challenge on MFP, and other people could join and we could motivate one another!

So the challenge is simple - Walk or run a total of at least 200km (124 miles) in the month of september!

Come check in back here as much as possible so we can keep motivating each other!!

You should totally join in my challenge... what have you got to lose?? :happy:

I totally want to do this. I joined a weight loss challenge and did terrible. Maybe something more concrete that I completely have control over would be a better idea - but can I cheat and start tomorrow? :laugh:

Hahaha sure can!! Thanks for joining in! I am so excited to have some support!! We can totally do this!

So, I did two miles this morning - and I realized that since I'm a firm believer in taking one day a week off, that means I have to do 5 miles a day on the days I do walk. YIKES! That's an hour and a half workout for me. Hopefully, by the end of the month, it will be a little less.

for sure
I've done 2km today... i was planning on taking the dogs for a walk after work but my back is SOOOO sore!! Totally wish i could count all the walking i do at work!! I'd knock this out in days!
