September Challenge!!

Hi Everyone!!

How did August go? I think many people met their goals and even surpassed them! I know our challenge kept me moving this month!

Here is the Check In spot for September! We have a couple days left in August, but I thought this would give us some time to figure out a new goal! We can all challenge ourselves to go as far as we think we can. Your own goal for the month is up to you! Like to run, want to walk, or even ride your bike? Set a number of miles or minutes you want to do any of these activities, and then check in every so often to let us all know how you're doing. :) Get creative, the real goal is to get us moving and challenging ourselves to do a little more every month!

We're all here to get healthy and support each other, and hopefully this provides a little extra motivation! Lets take on September!!

    I'm in. I have 33 days until I have to run that half. I need to move this month or I may die a sweaty, smelly death. :)

    I'm in! I did my 50 miles this month and will aim for 60 miles. Not sure if this is possible as will be away for half of September but it's good to have a project! Good luck to everybody. I think I may start this challenge early.

    Sounds excellent, Ladies! :)

    I was going to go from 50 miles in August to 60 miles in September, but xkdrowex gave me an extra push and I'm going for 70! Wow that seems like a lot of miles, but I'm going to work to get there! :)

    Hi! My goal for August was 30 miles, and I exceeded that goal and reached about 50 miles!!! For September, I think that I would like to make it official. I am going for the big 5-0- in September! We can do this!!!! :bigsmile:

    I have my first official 5K on September 23rd, so I'll be walking/running quite a bit this month:-) I think my goal will be 70. Aim high, right?

    I just joined this group. It's been a spell since I've done a move-yer-butt kind of a challenge. I've been doing yoga and jogging lately, haven't been to the gym in quite some time, kinda swapped out (yoga not available at my gym).

    I see that this is a continuing group, which I really like. I'm going to set my goal for 50 miles.

    Welcome! We are so glad you've joined our group! Good Luck on your 50 miles, You can do it! :)
  • I'm gonna second Mark's goal. 125 miles for this month. Of that I want to do at least 75 miles running and 25 miles biking (which will probably all be on our new recumbent bike).

    Ok.....you may now call the men in the white coats to come and get me! LOL
