    Got in 3 miles today...yay! I like the idea of continuing this to next month too, or doing a November challenge...however we want to do it. lol I think its a good challenge because it works for a big range of people, some just starting, and some die-hards who double my monthly goal in a week haha.

    Got up this morning for 2.5. I'm super happy with that since I only had 30 minutes to do it. I'm less than happy with the little old couple that jogged right on by my slow self, but that's ok. I'm not trying to win, just to finish. :)

    Got 5 more miles in! I think I lost a couple miles there because I didn't check in every day. But I'm okay with under estimating. It'll force me to push it to hit my goal!

    Great job, everyone!

    I agree with continuing this through November. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get in all 100--but I rented one of those 'walk away the pounds' DVDs from the library so I'll get an extra 5 miles per day in on top of my outdoor activities so I should make it!

    I missed out on this challange as I just found it. But I was wondering since everyone here is either walking or running about proper shoes. I am looking for suggestions. I have arthritis in my left ankle and some times it gets really stiff causing me problems just walking normal. There really is no rhyme or reason when this flares up, but I am thinking I need a really good shoe with proper support. I have bad arches and need lots of support but cannot seem to find a comfortable walking or running shoe.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Love the tickers you use and I am adding that to my signature. :happy:

    I have flat feet and bad knees, and I've been wearing Converse. Don't get these shoes... they will not help you, they don't help me but its all I have atm. Once I lose 2 more lbs I'll be in the market for some new shoes. Anytime I switch shoes my knees will hurt for hours or days.... I also have arthritis in them which will cause them to ache anytime the humidity is up (my knees predict storms!)

    When I was young my step-mom always made me wear Reeboks because they have high arch support. So I would look into that brand. Go to a specialty store, they will measure you and watch how you walk/run and find the perfect shoes for your feet. It may be a little on the expensive side but if you are heavily training it will definately be worth it.

    oh, I forgot about the bad knees...lol But I think you are right I may go to a speciality store. I don't ever think I have tried Reeboks maybe I will take a look at what they have out. I don't mind spending the money for a decent pair of shoes especially if they are going to provide the comfort and support I need.

    Definitely try some on and walk around the store, and ask about their return policy lol I went through about 6-7 pairs of shoes before I found some that I can wear. I would always get cramps in my feet, I haven no arch, which is probably because I don't wear shoes about 90% of the time...I'm just always barefoot. So shoving my foot into a sneaker...no bueno...

    But I finally settled on a Nike on my aunt gave me (because she didn't like them), I was skeptical because they looked very similar to ones I had bought already and taken back, but to my surprise they were comfortable enough for me to walk 8 miles in so far. I usually cramp up within the first mile or so, and that's when I know the shoe is going back to the store!

    I would suggest that you find your local Road runner Sports or a walking store and go in and get fitted with the shoes that will match your situation as well as your gait.. They will have you walk and assess your gait and find the right shoe for you. and you will get to walk in them for a mile to see how they feel. Some stores might even let you try them for a week.
    Having the right shoes make a huge difference.
    To your health
