    Hi Everyone,

    Yesterday, I walked for 20 minutes.

    Today, I walked for 86 minutes. That brings my Sept total to 1,141 minutes - toward my goal of 1800 for the month. My daily average is just over 57 minutes/day. The good news is that I increased my speed today from 2.5 mph to just over 3 mph. So I'm quite pleased with myself.

    Happy walking, all.

    Oh and amaizenblue44 - you continue to log an amazing number of miles with great consistency. Such an inspiration!!

    I know it's late into September, but I would like to start this challenge. See what I can do for the remaining 9 days of the month. I have already walked for 40 minutes today, at lunch time. I am heading out the door now for another 40 minute walk.

    I walk just about everyday so this is a great challenge for me.

    Hi All,

    I walked for 50 minutes today, bringing my Sept total to 1191 minutes - toward my monthly target of 1800. I walked at a faster pace again today but took my regular route.

    So glad the weekend is here - sleep in tomorrow - hmmm!!! Have a great weekend, everyone. Happy walking! :flowerforyou:

    1.6 miles walked - Mother Nature decided to cut my walk short last night. Doesn't look like she'll cooperate today, either.

    Just ran across this thread and even though it is late in September, I would like to participate. I walk at least 5 miles almost everyday and this sounds like something I will enjoy.

    Hi Everyone,

    Had a great day today. Went for 2 walks, totally 98 minutes. That brings my Sept total to 1289 minutes - against my monthly goal of 1800. I'm averaging just over 58 minutes per day.

    We're in the backstretch, folks - coming into the final week. Let's keep it up! I can't believe October is around the corner. I think I was complaining about the heat only a week ago!!

    Hi all,

    I walked for 90 minutes today. Such a nice fall day. This brings my total for Sept to 1379. My goal for the month is 1800 minutes. My daily average is just a touch under 60 minutes. If I continue to average 61 minutes per day, I'll meet my goal for the month.

    Happy walking, everyone. :flowerforyou:
