    I am in for 125 miles in April. I'm going to continue to count walking as well as running because I like walking. :happy:

    Hi, I'm in for 100 miles for April. I usually exceed a 100 miles a month, but don't know when my hip will start acting up like it did in March.

    Good luck to all of us!

    I would love to join this challenge. I'm working towards a triathlon so I will be counting swimming, running and biking (hope that's ok) for a total mileage of 160 miles.

    Break down (for me)
    20 miles swimming
    100 running/walking
    40 miles biking

    Do I need to submit miles per activity or will it be ok just to list miles done??
    Looking forward to staying commited to my exercise this month and watching/helping others do the same!!

    Hi all. Glad to see familiar faces and welcome to the new people in the thread. There's a spreadsheet where I keep track of everybody's miles at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?pli=1&key=0As57uSwFQUGJdC1OU0dvNEdQSXpWQzhfYjdTb1plWnc#gid=53

    Remember to share your progress every now and then. If you want to break down the numbers by activity you're more than welcome, however a grand total is convenient for the tracking.

    You may use a ticker (most people here use www.tickerfactory.com). Whenever you update your ticker, you have to copy the bbcode and paste it inside your message. If you find this ticker procedure too challenging, you may just write down your current mileage in your post.

    Happy moving

    the name of this thread caught my eye cause i keep telling myself exactly that!!!!! I am going to join this for the month of April. A little history on me. I have been on and off MFP since 2009 and realize if I had stayed vigilant i would have long ago been at my goal and able to help others. However i made significant progress and quit logging in..... well as a result i gain weight back and was feeling miserable because of it mentally and physically. I will be turning 50 this month and I am determined to get to my goal by the age of 51. I came back to MFP and set my ticker back to 0 and I am starting anew. So with that being said, my goal will be 30 miles this month, i am so out of shape right now and i have to restart everything. 30 is probably a low number but i am being realistic. Maybe will get a little further but just for today 30 is the number. thanks for the post!!:smile:

    @Metco...welcome back to MFP and welcome to this challenge! Remember, you are challenging yourself so please do not compare your goals to anyone else. You can do it!

    My goal for April will be very small...only 25 miles. This is due to the fact that I will be having knee surgery the 12th so only have the first 11 days to do any type of walking.

    @chancie72
    Nothing wrong with 25 miles!! Hope your surgery will go well. :flowerforyou:

    It is not how much you move but the fact that you are moving, good luck with the surgery.

    I'm starting a weight training program this month so I'm cutting my biking down a day, but I'm still going to up it from last months goal.

    I'm going to set it at 200 miles of biking, walking, elliptical and working on my walk/jog program.

    Yikes... I'm nervous just writing that LOL! But Here we go!

    Good luck everyone!



    P.S. Denise and Dinos - I love you for doing this... I've never been so moitvated to move my @ss!!!!!

    I am in for 145 miles for April. This is solely a total of the training walks that I have scheduled, so there may be more if I fit in extra walks. There is no swaying from the plan now. The walk is just 2 months away!!!!

    I am in for 50 miles in April. This will be a total of walking/jogging as I am training my body to jog straight, but I still do a lot of walking right now.

    Thank you for this opportunity!!!

    I have never done this before, although I always have an idea and a plan of an exercize regiment and I usually follow, so for the month of April I commit to 36 miles of walk/run.

    There's no rule for the distance you want to go, you're challenging yourself.
    Just to give you an idea, the average @ss-mover covers about 60 miles per month.
