TAXMOM9093 - I *love* bonus miles!!!!! They're my absolute faaaaaaavorite! Maybe I should set my goal next month at 10 so I can hit goal on the 3rd day and then the rest is gravy! :bigsmile:

Um Dave, you really don't want to give me permission to do that. :laugh: :laugh:

Back at the beginning of the month I really debated the wisdom of my 150 mile goal.:noway: :huh: After all, I had never walked that far in a month before.:noway: :huh: But, with your and teamamelia's and janet's and others encouragement I went for it. :drinker:

The month started out really well. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: And then :grumble: life happened. Last week I really wasn't sure I would make my goal at all.:sad: :sad: But you all kept encouraging me. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: And....I made it :bigsmile: .

So yeah, I like bonus miles.:drinker: But I wouldn't have come this far if I hadn't set my goal higher than I thought was likely. :happy:

So, for those of you who are sure you can't reach your goal this month, JUST DO YOUR BEST :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: . Yes, I wanted my goal but even if I had come up short I still would have been moving :bigsmile: .

Wed 10/30

3.08 Miles on the Treadmill = 63.95

Back at the beginning of the month I really debated the wisdom of my 150 mile goal.:noway: :huh: After all, I had never walked that far in a month before.:noway: :huh: But, with your and teamamelia's and janet's and others encouragement I went for it. :drinker:

For the record, TAXMOM.....I never doubted you'd make it for even a second. :drinker: Congrats on a huge, well-earned accomplishment!

And as far as where I set my goals each month....my brain works so oddly. The months where I've made goal early and end up getting in bonus territory....I start piling up more miles like a mad man and end up with a larger total than I would've if I had set my goal higher to begin with. I have a couple vague, unformed theories, but I don't want to overthink it. I've found that setting the number at a moderate level is what accomplishes the task of keeping me in the game of moving consistently and at a minimum acceptable level for me....and the process of doing extra makes me feel so happy and good about myself that it fuels me to do more & more!

But that's one of the MANY* beauties of his challenge :laugh: Thankfully there's not just one way to do it. And when anyone finds what works for them...whatever helps them accomplish their fitness goals....that is truly a personal victory. :flowerforyou: That is my hope for each and every one of you. Not just to reach your mileage goals, but that this challenge helps in some way for you to realize your fitness goals as well.
