    This is my goal for September as well. Truthfully I'd like to aim for 60 but I tend to get ahead of myself... Just had my first child in June and have been so incredibly sedentary for the past three months (not to mention the end of pregnancy) it's not even funny. September is gonna be a great month!!! Right???

    Let's do this!!

    3.75/60 done!

    Count me in! Just over 7 yesterday and over 8 today, so 15 in and 35 to go. Does this include treadmill workouts too? I generally only run on weekends and days off, but go to the gym during the week. I have a "mud run" coming up on the 22nd. I hope that 5k counts too!

    I use a fitbit and it logs all my steps which turns into miles throughout my day.... Can those count towards the goal, or is it just a dedicated walk/run over and above daily activity?

    I'm in too...I use a pedometer every day and strive for 10,000 steps which I sometimes don't get. Found a formula to convert steps into calories burned which is helpful when tracking my cardio exercise stats so I will use part of that formula to calculate miles for this challenge. For those interested, there are 5,280 steps in a mile...so that means if I do 8,800 steps per day for 30 days I'll successfully complete the challenge. Who is with me???

    There are 5280 FEET in a mile... So if you walk 1 foot in front of the other, heel to toe, then its that many STEPS. Otherwise, you are cheating yourself. I did about 4000 steps so far today and just over a mile. It all depends on your stride!
