    PIcked up 4 miles this morning. It was my first training run in the cold weather. I could see my breath, my face my burning, my lungs felt like sharp knives were flying around in there, and my fingers were so cold I was sure if I touched something they were going to crack and fall apart like that cybergenics dude in terminator. Turns out, I survived and by the end I was plenty warm and down to a t-shirt and shorts.

    The really good news is I'm positive I had at least another mile in me, but I have to be careful not to over train. :) Yall are doing great, I'm inspired by you all!

    Please add me to the October challenge. I have done 5 miles on October 1st and hope to get out for another 5 today. Thanks.
    P.S. How do I add my exercise ticker to this post?

    Okay, now I figured out how to add my exercise ticker. But how do I update it when I add more miles?

    Never mind. I've got it all figured out now. Can you put me down for, say, 200 miles as a goal for the month? :happy:

    Hi, I'd love to join you all, I walked for only about 1 mile on Friday 1st October as it poured with rain all day!!! Yesterday was a much better day and I walked for 5 miles and today I managed 4 miles. My target for the month is 100 Miles :laugh:

    12.3 miles on the bike today! woohoo
    I may have to change my mileage goal. I am almost at the half way mark already. I think this challenge has pushed me to do more than I usually can. I know that next week, I will be on vacation so I won't get as many miles in as I would like to. I am going to try, but I'm sure I won't be able to do 12 in one day like today. I will change my ticker and let you guys know if I change my goal.

    Walked 2 miles today. I was going to head out in the morning, but it was raining, and I have a cold. Then the sun came out, and I went out, but it was freeeeezing with the wind, so I came back sooner than I would have liked. But at least I got out there! Now, of course, the sun is out again.

    I got another 5 in this morning while walking the dogs. I have a border collie and a rottie so you can imagine we do a pretty quick pace. How's everyone else doing?

    Ok I'll admit it... I lost my motivation to workout and as of last night had 0 miles logged in. :embarassed: :angry: :frown:

    Last night as I was laying in bed I started talking to myself... and I promised myself that I would start catching back up and if I woke up early I would workout before I had to leave for work.

    I'm happy to say its 10:30 am and I got in 3/4 of a mile on the eliptical this morning before work and I'm looking forward to my regular workout tonight :drinker: Hoping to have about 3 miles in by the end of the day.

    5.43 miles on the bike today. I wanted to do more, but I was pressed for time. I was going to walk outdoors, but there is so much to do around the house as I am going out of town at the end of the week.
    I just wanted to say that everyone is doing a great job staying committed to themselves and the walking program that they have laid out for themselves.

    steph great job walking. it's tricky to walk outdoors during this time of year because the weather is so unpredictable through Sept and esp October.

    foxygrl, great miles!

    Chub- awesome job!

    bobbi- excellent work, soak those tired feet!

    Amelia, you're doing fantastic and I love the pic!

    lynne, I bet your dogs really love your walk. keep up the good work.

    Learning- I love the elliptical too because its low impact on the knees. I am sure you will get your miles in today. You're already off to a good start.

    Turned down today's walk due to my cold. I'm almost through it, and then I'll be back to walking full-time! The cold air really burns your lungs when you have a cold.

    I did manage another 1 mile tonight. I had a 90 min soccer game, so all I manage was the one mile afterwards.
